Today we said goodbye to our dog Buddy. He was diagnosed with lymphoma a few months ago and this morning he woke with a cough that we knew was not going to go away. 
We took a family walk this afternoon to the neighborhood park and played and took some pictures.
Buddy was an awesome dog. We adopted him from Boxer Rescue LA back in September of 2006. We walked him around the block and switched dogs with the staff. As we came back around, there was Buddy wagging his tail and “waving” at us. We knew we had found our dog. At the time we thought he was only about 1, but his super soft “puppy” fur never went away and his paper work from Boxer Rescue (which we thought was a typo) labeled him as 4.
Buddy was a great companion for us on many adventures; camping, hiking, beach days, working around the house and walking to the park. We will miss him bunches.
awe…. I’m so sorry… love you guys.
I’m sorry- hugs to your family. It’s so hard to say goodbye to such a wonderful friend.
So sorry – it has to be hardest day of pet parenting.
When we lost our dog someone sent us to http://www.petloss.com/rainbowbridge.htm
So sorry…I loved Buddy! I don’t know anyone who didn’t love Buddy.
We will miss Buddy! He was a great dog!!
I’m so sorry – I can relate to how you must feel but better that he didn’t suffer. Although he will be sadly missed, I’m sure you have a lot of wonderful memories.
How sad, I’m sorry
Our hearts are with you guys.
Thanks everyone, hug to you all.
He was such a great dog. So sorry for your loss!
