Goodbye old friend.

This is one of my favorite pictures. Poor Bud had been dressed up in clothes by Brienne and her girlfriend when they were younger. Can you not see it on his face asking "why me?"

Well he died today. I wish I was home to help Bobbi and Brienne but they are tough ladies and they will do fine. I wasn't sure he would make it until my return. We've had him since February 1995, he was 3 months old. He slept at the foot of Brienne's bed almost immediately. He was nearly 14 yrs old when he died. The Vet said any Labs living past 12 years are happy dogs who want to stay around. He was a Great dog! I will really miss him.

Hey Chris,
Sorry to hear about Bud! He was such an awesome dog! We loved having him as our neighbor back on Knollmeadow. He would always come to the fence and check us out when we were in the backyard. If not Isaac would go to the fence and peek through to see where Bud was.
Take care!

Hi C

Sorry to hear about Bud. I loved the story that you told on him walking around with the lamp shade (after his surgery). He was one lucky dog - having you and Bobbi as owners - and the fact that he got to eat left over steak and Taco Cabano fajita tacos.

Miss you down here in San Antonio. Just got back from LA. Take care.
