Over 9 years ago Brian and I decided we needed a dog. We got our first puppy, Buddy. It was love at first sight and we let him sleep with us, carried him around, dressed him in sweaters, and treated him like a child. Even though he got put on the back burner when Peyton was born, he still loved us and jumped for joy when we walked through the door. He adjusted well and Peyton called him her brother and hounded us until we let him sleep in her room. When Landree gets upset or in trouble she calls and cries for him and calls herself, "Buddy's Girl."
On Wednesday we said good-bye to a member of our family- the Budman. During this week of thanks we are thankful for all the many blessings God has given us including over 9 years of faithful companionship of our dog.
For our girls he was a playmate
A constant shadow always in the background keeping watch
The guardian and Hoover of all crumbs
A two year old's Best Friend
During the last year and a half I have been home and spent everyday with Buddy. We knew this day would come but as I type this, I am still unprepared to look down and not see him at my feet.

When I went by the house Friday morning, I stopped short of ringing the doorbell. I realized that when I did push the button I wasn't going to hear Buddy going nuts on the other side of the door. No one was going to come rattle the blinds in total attack mode. We will miss Buddy, too. We are so sorry for your loss. Hugs!
