I miss my Buddy

41. So wise. Your pup will make you laugh and love on you when you lose the collie.

We lost our own Buddy last October. He'd gone into a diabetic seizure.The vet tried to bring him out of it, but his kidneys had shut down. So we made the painful decision to have him euthanized. He was the best dog we've ever had. He was outgoing, loved everyone and adored kids. Our grandkids adored him.

It was devastating. But we have another dog, Izzy, and her love and silly little behaviors have been a big help. We still have many of the same daily habits around her that we used to have around the two of them.

Several years ago we lost our dog, Lily. It was much worse than losing Buddy even, because we didn't have any other dog to need us and love on us. We kept expecting to hear the click of her tonsils coming down the hall for many months.
