Nothing will replace the empty hole that was left when we lost our great pal Buddy (formerly Charles) to lung cancer several months ago. What is so hard to believe is Buddy was a strong, fit athlete of a dog and still a “puppy” at age seven. He started with a mild cough in late October and a visit to the vet right away found he had well over 50 tumors in his lungs, we lost him to the Rainbow Bridge on December 2nd. His bright, beautiful personality was lost, our yellow lab Sheamus lost his best pal that day. Sheamus is now happy with another lab (Shannon) that joined our family in January but Buddy was an angel none of us will ever forget. Irene always tells me I gush too much over our dogs but I am happy for all the closeness and attention Buddy had with us.
