Bye-Bye Beloved Buddy

To those of you who have had the priviledge of meeting our most personable pet, you'll understand why it is such a hardship to say good-bye to this lovable, cuddly, forever tail-wagging dog. For several reasons, but mainly cost, we're not able to bring our beloved Buddy to the U.K. with us. Therefore we're sending him back home to Kelowna to be reunited with his original owners- Ma and Pa Reimer (and of course my siblings are all thrilled to have him back in their territory again). Anyway, I just felt it appropriate to bid a formal farewell to Buddy, kinda like a tribute (I hope I'm not taking this too far). So Buddy, thanks for being our 'shoulder to cry on' when no one else was home, for never leaving my side till the last tear had fallen. Thanks for having such wonderful bladder control and letting us sleep in late on Saturday mornings. Thanks for understanding when we were gone long hours, or neglectful in taking you for walks. Thanks for entertaining us with the way your whole back end wiggles from East to West when you wag your tail. We love your thoughtfulness, in how you greet us at the door with gifts upon every arrival. We're pround of your oscar for "Best Puppy Dog Eyes" and your classic head on the knee trick at meals. Buddy what can we say; you're the best dog anyone could ask for....Bye Buddy! We'll miss you.
