Today should have been my first "babys" 6th birthday. Buster was an amazing dog, especially since he had no idea that he even was a dog. A year and a half ago we had to make one of the hardest decisions in our lives and there really isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about him. I always wonder how he would have been with Kaedyn, how much they would have loved each other and how much I could have used his unconditonal love when I was too stressed as a new mom. I am a big believer that everything happens for a reason but to have to "stop him from suffering" at only 4 years old still makes me wonder.... what reason??? He had a whole life time of memories we needed to make with him. Breaks my heart. After we lost him I posted a note on my facebook and I still cry every time I read it. 
"two years ago to date, we did one of the hardest things most young people never experience. burial of a close friend. today, we did something that seems just as hard. we said good bye to our first baby.. our buster. buster lived an extaordinary life... he had no clue he was a dog. anyone that knows him can share in our sorrow... he was that special. he sat on laps, HAD to sit on feet or nudged right between your legs. he loved monday mornings cuz the garbage men would WEEKLY get out, give him a pet and a cookie. i had to trick him into eating by telling him i was gonna eat it. he would kiss you when u asked and he thought every morning once his dad left, that he was the man of the house. he had to dig before he lie down, most of our carpet can show it. he gave high fives and he knew exactly who was here when he saw cars outside. not to mention, he ran out there daily to greet our mailman and go get a ball for him to play with. he was such a special part of our family and i am in shock that he was taken from us too young. easter was a hard day to begin with since it was the day we heard of the news of michaels passing... and bus was right there to comfort us and make us laugh. it is unreal and still such a shock. i miss him already. good night buddy. we love you and we'll see you again....
rest in peace

ReplyDeletewow that brought tears to my eyes.. so true and so sad! rip Buster
ReplyDeleteI lost both my cat and my dog this year. CJ passed May 8 and Sabryna went on June 9th. I understand how you feel. I get all choked over something silly that I see that reminds me of them. Like a Tennis ball or even a stray orange cat hair. I don't know if it ever gets any easier. I miss them so much. RIP Buster, CJ and Sabryna.
