Missing my big German Wirehair Pointer, Mr. Buck! He really helped me through a difficult time. And I tried to help him through his difficult situation as well. We really loved each other and he was such a beautiful old soul. We now have two male Sheepadoodles who are half brothers. They fill the void in my heart, but are not the old soul Buck was for me. The boys are 15 months and 6 months old. Still puppies yet. One is looking out of the living room window this morning (15 mo old) and one is sleeping behind the love seat(6 mo old). They are both good boys and learn quickly. Thanks to all who have given us kind words and love these past three years. Karen

As I long for my big Buck, I remind myself that our bond is unbreakable. Though he may not be physically present, his spirit guides me, and the love we shared will always be a source of comfort and strength. He was always present at my side. I miss him!

Mister Buck was delivered to the Rainbow Bridge just before 10:00 AM cst. Buck usually woke me up between 4:30 am to 5:50 am to have his breakfast. This morning, Buck slept until 7:30 am which was very unusual for him. He never asked for breakfast and had stopped eating much this week. It was almost like he knew he was “going home” today. I gave him hugs and kisses goodbye, and he looked in my eyes as he drifted off to sleep. He was at peace once again. No pain, no breathing problems, no weak legs, no falling down any longer. Part of my heart went with him to heaven.

Wow the postings are overwhelming. I do love Mr Buck. I just do not want him to hurt and suffer. We have had 2 and half years together which is way longer than predicted. I would like to write a book in his honor to hopefully help other dogs who suffer. Any ideas would be helpful.

With much sorrow, my Buck buddy has gone downhill in the last month or so. He still loves life, but I can see in his eyes he hurts and is just done with this life. I have made an appointment for next Thursday to send him to the Rainbow Bridge. He has filled such a void in my life and he has outlived some of his siblings even with a gunshot wound to his head. I will miss his big smile and his waiting for me when I return home from work. Peace to you Bucky.

Happy Sweet 16 to Mister Buck!! He has lived well past his accident two years ago! He is living his best life with his new family! He has shown some signs of “old dog syndrome “, but still going strong! “Happy birthday to you Bucky!!”
Tonight we went out to get an Ice Cream Cone in honor of Buck’s Big Day. Unfortunately, the Dairy Queen does not open until tomorrow for the season. And four queens open this Friday. Sooooo… we had to get vanilla shakes and share them from McDonald’s! Buck loves his ice cream! So does his sister Jasmine!

Meta is trying to end our page on Buck saying that I do not own this page. Well Whispurring Hope Pet Rescue gave me rights to place things on this page for Buck. Is this a scam? Please help!

Well we went to the veterinarian today…a different vet since our past vet has been sick and had to close his office. Buck had all of his regular vaccinations and when we arrived, he was breathing hard. He does this when he is stressed or anxious. We have noticed his back legs are beginning to show signs of less strength. The new vet stated that there is a nerve that runs from his neck to his back legs that can effect a laryngiospasm and his back legs can get weak also. We hope and pray Buck makes it to his 16 th birthday! He is such a special boy with everything he has been through. The vet assistants had to find his page today so they could learn about his past. We hope Buck continues to live his best life with us! Mom will be devastated when he crosses over the rainbow bridge.

We are celebrating “gotcha day” year two since Buck came to live with us!! Buck was waiting by the door for ghosts and goblins on Halloween night!!

I found out tonight that today was the date Mr Buck was transported from Allison to Whispurring Hope Pet rescue in Dyersville, two years ago. Buck has been my buddy the past two years and he loves spending time at the dog park, walking, and hunting in our yards. Buck has been mostly my buddy and he has given me lots of company in our Waverly house the past two years. We lost my dad in May 2021. Buck has been with me since November 2021.
I found out Tuesday that Buck’s litter mate Is not doing so well and may have to visit the Rainbow Bridge soon. I am offering his dad to take Buck on a hunting trip this fall in his litter mate’s place since Buck used to hunt with them in the past. Buck will turn 16 next Feb 4, 2024! He has had several lives already just like a cat!!

Hello all! Buck is doing well, but we have not been going out to dog parks and walking. The reason for this is because Buck has a new brother and we were told until the little brother has all of his vaccines we should stay home. We are all doing well and we are learning to love each other and play together!

06/07/2023

Well with the smoke cleared, we finally made it to the dog park tonight!! Videos in the comments below.

29/06/2023

So due to the smoke from Canada, Buck and I have not been staying outside in the evenings. Wanted to check in and let you know Buck is doing well and thriving!

Update on Mr Buck! We love going to the dog park to see many different kinds and sizes of doggies. Tonight we met a German Shepherd that was taller than Buck! Buck has had a couple mini strokes (TIA) that scared us like I stayed in my last report. I guess this is normal stuff for old dogs. He is still hanging in there!

We did lose one of our Chesapeake Bay Retrievers two weeks ago Friday. So our family has been in mourning a lot lately. Dexter ended up Insulin Dependent Diabetic and was diagnosed with Cushing’s Disease. We had his blood sugar regulated but then he would go into low blood sugar and seizures. He was diagnosed with an Insulinoma (Pancreatic Cancerous lesion that also puts out insulin). He was hopeless to manage his blood sugar then with a terminal cancer.
Jasmine and Buck have been doing ok but Jasmine (the other Chessie) had been depressed since her brother is gone. Thank goodness Buck is here to help her through all of this pain.

Well Buck scared me tonight and could not walk for a bit tonight. We are at the Eastern Iowa Emergency Clinic waiting for his discharge. They thought he either had a small stroke, his right side fell asleep, or his vestibular apparatus was causing him issues. I hauled him from Waverly to the clinic tonight after 9 pm. His blood work came out ok. So we will take him home hopefully soon.

Back to the Waverly Dog Park tonight! A fifteen year old dog that can keep up with dogs much younger than he is!

Well our three doggies needed new bedding on their youth beds! Here is what I sewed and put together for our two doggie areas. One is in our garage kennel with a youth car bed. The other is at my dad’s house where I stay during the week in the breezeway.

I lost my father at 91 yo to COVID in May 2020. Buck has filled the void of me taking care of my loving father. I had helped take care of him for 13 years after our mother passed. My heart was empty after dad died. Mr Bucky has filled this void and has helped me heal. I love him so much! It was a mutual healing process for us! Thanks soooo much for the birthday greeting for Buck! Love you all! Buck loves life and we love him!

Buck’s 15th birthday! I tried to make him a crown, but he was not having it!

08/02/2023

It is Buck’s 15th birthday today!! He is doing so well, but he doesn’t like hats!!

08/01/2023

We at Whispurring Hope are so grateful to Karen Wolf and her husband for their love and care of Buck. They have truly given him a wonderful home and life and he looks like such a happy boy.
