RIP Buster

June 6th, 2017 at 02:54 am

Today was a sad, sad day.

Buster's tumors have grown and spread and he had stopped enjoying life so much. During the past week, he would refuse to move and instead bark when he wanted to go inside or outside or to another room. Yesterday, he would not eat.

I called the vet this morning, and SB, J, Mrs. J and I took him to his final vet visit.

Buster was so homely and not very bright. But he had more personality than any dog I have ever had the pleasure to know. How I loved that ridiculous little dog. I will miss him so very much.

Edit: In 2005, the year before my ex-husband and I split, ex-husband took 9 year old J to our local animal shelter to choose a dog. Of all the dogs J might have chosen, J came home with Buster. I took one look at Buster and asked ex-husband what he had been thinking. He just shrugged and said J picked him. The shelter estimated that Buster was 4 - 5 years old. Buster was J's shadow for years and was a great comfort to him during the divorce. I will forever be grateful for that.

    I'm so sorry. Frown I know what you mean about homely and not very bright yet full of personality. That sums up one of our cats, and we just adore him. I'll be devastated when he goes. ((hugs))

    ((Hugs)) The loss of a pet is so heart breaking. It's been less than six months since we lost our cat, and I miss her everyday. May the good memories sustain you in your grief.
