Yesterday, my Buddy passed over the Rainbow Bridge. He was fine in the = morning - stole Ariel's breakfast off of the coffee table. But, by the = afternoon, he was in distress - panting, uninterested in eating, gums = pale, body temperature dropping. He still, however, wanted to be where I = was - followed me upstairs, outdoors, and into his beloved van. Peter, my = vet, confirmed what I already knew, and Ariel and I soothed and comforted = him as we sent him peacefully on his way. As Pete, Buddy's lifelong = veterinarian said - "it's the end of an era." We loved him dearly and = will miss him terribly... Buddy was: Am/Can Champion Windy Acres' Ami of Riverdell TC OFA H&E August 7, 2004 - August 25, 2006 Godspeed, Buddy...
