It is with our deepest sorrow that we have today our buddy passed over the Rainbow Bridge yesterday at 3:45 p.m. We gave him the best life and the most peaceful and dignified passing. He was surrounded by love. We were blessed to have him for a year longer than his cancer diagnosis expected he would be with us. We are heartbroken but know he is in the perfect place, running, playing and looking down on us.

Just so you know- I slobber on you, I lean on you. I eat the hamburger and donuts and whatever else you forget to move out of my view. I “help” you with the trash. I do this all because I love you! You’re welcome. ❤️

Hi Everyone! Here's a picture of me and Dad that Mom took last night. I had just taken a run around the yard and a couple of twirlies. Do you know why? Dad's truck pulled into the driveway and that is cause for celebration any day of the week! I get tired out faster now but I still get real happy when Dad comes home!

Hello, my name is Buddy and I am a "little fu**er" again. Here's what I did. I opened the cabinet all by myself! This is a new thing I just learned to do at age 81/2 years old, so I think I'm pretty smart!
Apparently not. Then I ate a corn cob because that looked yummy to me. THEN I puked in the living room and by the back door in the middle of the night. THEN Mom stepped in it in her bare feet at 7:15 this morning. She said that was not a very nice way to wake up. Dad said that Mom's huffy voice is not a nice way to wake up. I just wanted to venture out of my normal food palate and try something new. Sheesh.

Well people, I guess sick time is over. Mom's got her stern voice on and I'm back to being "You Little Fu**er" again. Look, a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do. Why'd YOUUUU Mom, let that bag of Italian Meatballs fall out of the freezer? And THEN why did you turn your back? I mean, a Buddy's gotta Bud, right? Honestly, I snatched that bag speedy quick, and reeeeeal quiet like I hid in the corner of the living room where she can't see me. I opened that bag all by mySELF and scarfed them ALL down before Dad caught me. If you ask me, I should be "You Little Genius!"

Ever since I got the diagnosis of The Big C, I've been pretty low energy. I've been taking lots of medicine and it made me very sleepy. Today has been a Very Good Day though. I have some "pep in my step" again. Pep In Your Step means that you have the energy to run around in the back yard a little bit and then jump up on the bed where I have not been able to jump to for almost a Whole Month! This is my favorite place to be - on my bed - so I can look out the windows and watch the people and cars and stuff. Think I'll take a nap right here now. See you all later!

Well, I had my appointment at the vet. Chowed down on lots of Pupperoni. I went in by myself, mom and dad had to wait in the car cause of this rona virus thing. Doc says i got this cancer thing. I dont really know what it is, but i guess its what causes my bumps. I am home just taking it easy as usual. Mom is all teary and Dad looks sad. I guess its not too good. But hey, Mom says i can have whatever I want, and sleep wherever I want. Soooooooo we'll just see where this goes. Everyone stay well, and don't worry, I'm in good hands.

Hello everyone. It's been a really long time since I've put anything out there. Well I'm 8 years old now, and I'm starting to feel it. I'm stiff in my joints, makes jumping on the bed kinda tough. Dad is taking me to the vet tomorrow, gotta check on these bumps I got on me. Some are small and some are getting bigger, and there all over my body, some in places I'll leave unnamed. Otherwise I'm doing pretty good. I'll try to get Dad to keep you all up to date.

Well hello Facebook World! It's me, Buddy, remember me? Well, things certainly have changed in my world! Mom and Dad and I moved to a new house with a big back yard with a fence for me! I have escaped this fence THREE times already! Dad needs to remember to close the gates after him, or so mom says in her huffy voice.

In our old house, I like to perch on the couch like a cat so I could see out the window - at our NEW house I like the bed. We don't even HAVE a sofa at the moment. But I like the bed just fine. This gives a view of the front yard. Thennnn, when I want to go outside, I can walk around, or play ball or just lay down in the grass and look at everything in my backyard - and GUESS WHAT? I don't even have to wear a leash anymore!!
Well, when mom and I take walks I do - but that's just good manners. But now I have my own yard and I can p**p out back whenever I want to! There are three crazy guys who live next door. They are called "Great Danes" and their favorite activity is to bounce on their trampoline and bark at me. I think we will be great friends!

And speaking of friends...

My Aunt Natalie lives near by - and she has a POOL and she says I can come swim! She also has a friend for me named Riley. Aunt Dawn also lives close by and SHE has a pool too! AND SHE has a friend for me too named Phoebe. I'm liking this place so far!! Daaad - when are WE getting a pool?
