I must tell you that our sweet beloved boy, Bud passed away two weeks ago (2/25/19) from liver failure. He had only turned nine this past November 29th. We were/are devastated. You see, this dog was to the both of us that one dog..the one you only get once in a lifetime..the one that will forever be a part of your very heart and soul. No matter how many dogs we have had and loved and lost throughout the years, none can ever be what Bud was to us. He was with me through so much..Always here when I needed someone to talk to, a shoulder to cry on, or a pal to go exploring with. He stayed with me in my bedroom when I was too sick or too sad to go anywhere else..This was his favorite place in the world, and he died where he lived most of his life, where he chose to be most of the time..in our bed. It was his bed really. He only let me and Jeff use it. He slipped into a coma the last six hours..He seemed to be at peace, his last moment of awareness was when Jeff came home early to be with him. It was as if he waited to see his dad one last time. That was such a blessing for Jeff.
I cannot write more than this.
Thank you for reading.
~Blessings & Love~

Lisa,
I have just read your post, and as I looked at the beautiful face of your treasured Bud I became emotional. I understand fully how you feel. We have always had rescue cats, as we have now, and have loved every one of them. There was one of them, a brindle that lived for twenty four years, who had a personality much like Bud. She used to sleep in our bed, not just on it as the others did, and when I was quite unwell, and had to be in bed for over a week, she lay with me constantly. There is something in animals that we can not understand. The only thing that has comforted me when our beloved cats have passed away is the near death experience that I had, there were animals there too.
As I am writing this our cat Tinker has just walked into my workroom, I don't even believe this is coincidence. May God bless you and your family with His comfort Lisa in your sadness.
I came across your blog, while I was watching youtube, someone had asked the person I was watching the video on, where she bought some of her crafts, well she answered The thrill of thrift, somehow when I got into that link, I came across yours & I am very glad that I did, although I am very saddened that you lost your beloved companion Bud, it surely brought tears to my eyes, I feel your pain, I am still not over losing my Boston Terrier Spunky, he passed just 8 days before his 10 birthday, just before X-mas in 2014, I have 2 more Boston's, I must be a glutten for punishment, I wonder if I can really go thru this pain again, but I feel i'll just have to be strong enough I guess & they both sleep with me, they are both very cuddly. Well thank you for having this blog, I am enjoying reading what you have included, I like the recipes and many other things you share here, please do not stop this blog keep it going if you can, take care of yourself as well, thank you so much for sharing this blog, Melody!~!
