I have very sad news to share. Yesterday, our vet helped my sweet, dear Buddy cross The Bridge. 😿Buddy let us know it was time, and Mom and Dad made the most difficult, yet compassionate, decision any pet owner will ever have to make.
Our hearts are broken, but we take comfort knowing he is no longer suffering.
Just think of the greeting he received at The Bridge from Madi, Sassy, and Zack. 😻
❤️ Kat Your Feline Nephew
I washed Buddy’s face the night before he passed, to show my love.
When I saw this video, I was reminded of the song by Alabama, Angels Among US.
Kat wandered totally by accident in the Buddy's home, fit right in with his family of rescued Siblings.
Kat is one of those Angels walking Among Us. Yes I know Angel Madi
is doing her happy twerking dance now that she and Buddy, Sassy and Zack all have their Wings.
This is the most handsome BUD-man when he was foot loose and fancy free.
He lived his life with gusto each and every day and without any regrets.
HE LOVED EVERYBUDDY!!
He was rescued from a shelter literally minutes before he was to be euthanized.
His age was approximately 2 when he was rescued.
That day was the day he really started to Live!!
His life turned 360 degrees that day.
I've known Buddy and his family
for 13 years, my heart breaks for them.
that was so nice to show your love and our tears are running for your friend Bud...together with the tears of his furmily...
ReplyDeleteThis is such a touching post, and my heart goes out to Buddy's family, who always gave him so much kindness and love.

ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry to hear of your loss; he was a handsome boy, certainly. Only 2 years when he was rescued! Far too young to have to leave. I'm so glad he had a loving home with his people.
ReplyDeleteBuddy live a very long life full of TLC. He was ~14 years old when he made his trip OTRB this week.
