Our sweet Buddy. When you came into our lives, you showed your personality right away by running in and sitting on our living room coffee table. You were so energetic that you earned the nickname, Nutsy. We grew to love you so much over the past 10 and a half years. You were such a wonderful friend to the boys growing up. They will miss you so much.You were such a big part of their lives. Of course you were Daddy's boy, too. You were a good dog, always so friendly and loving. You always made us laugh often. Whether it be sleeping on your back with your lips flapped wide open exposing your beautiful smile or "singing" to American Idol! Remember chasing the geese in Wisconsin and sliding off the end of the pier and into the water? You always came to save us in the water but ended up letting Daddy hold you while you just relaxed and took in the scenery! Some of us had to save you in the water too! Rosie and Bird will be waiting for you and will take care of you in heaven. You won't hurt any more. We love you and will miss you so much. Otis will miss his big brother. We love you, Nutsy. Run and play now. Buddy went to the Rainbow Bridge today after his short battle with Lymphoma. I wish we could have done more for you.
