My heart was broken in 2009 when my precious dog Buddy died.  I cried for a month until I saw Beau, on Petfinder, his name was Buddy, and I knew he was mine.  I called the animal shelter the next day and drove 25 miles to get him. I knew instantly he was for me.  His former famly dumped him there and ran out, not filling out paperwork so I was only told he was seven at the time. I had him for 9 years and I adored that sweet dog.  He went blind. I had surgery on him so he could see out of one eye.  He was so happy when he could see, unfortunately he went bidn again and was miserable the last year of his life and I blame  myself, he became very senile and I waited too long ot put him down, but it was so hard.  He was my beloved sidekick.  He used to wait by the back door and rub his nose all over it. My husband would complain and complain about the marks he lleft.  I will always miss those nose prints, the pitter patter of his little paws and hsi absolutely sweet, kind soul.  He was an angel already.  God rest his wery soul.
