I am so sorry to hear of Buddy's passing. The way the universe brought you two together seemed so unlikely that I imagine it was predestined. Buddy was lucky to have lived a life with you. He was a gentle and friendly soul who brought joy to all that met him. Nothing will replace Buddy but I hope you find a similar love eventually.
I'll never forget the time that Buddy wedged himself in between two large boulders on our property in Washington. We struggled to get him out and Mary was able to dig that goof ball out! I miss that grandpup!
I remember the day Jessica told me about Buddy. I was amazed at his story, and how incredible it was that these two souls were joined together, as if it were meant to be that they would meet and add joy to each other's lives. Buddy was one of the most handsome and sweet pups, and he could set a record for the amount he shed! I loved the way Jessica and Zeynep loved him. He was a special soul, and I will miss him. I am so grateful for the friendship and love to my dearest friends.
Oh buddy! --- You were such a handsome dog, with more piercing blue eyes than Peter O'Toole himself in Lawrence of Arabia. You were a loyal and comforting companion to our dearest friend Jessica, who loved you beyond words (and pets).
You were loved from the sand dunes of the Middle East to the port of Oakland and everywhere in between.
