The last walk...
Buddy came into the world on 8 Feb 2009 and brought joy, happiness and a whole bundle of new experiences and memories. As with all pet owners, we have to accept that their time is shorter than that of ourselves and the hurt and pain this inevitably presents is the one we fear as the years of companionship moves on.
Buddy has brought us so much enjoyment and fond memories with unequivocal love and respect he has provided to us in the bond he created with Cheralyn and I, and it was this weekend that we finally had to accept the inevitable truth that our rock, our four legged bundle of fur, our Buddy has reached his final days.
On Saturday, we took him on his final ride, stopping at this one of his favourite places to say good bye to his friendly cows often said hello to on his walks, before it was time to go.
We have always promised that when the time comes we would do what is right. People often question how you know when the right time is, but you know.
We stayed with him right to the end and at 12.25pm on Saturday, our Buddy, our boy passed away, painlessly and without a whimper, just relaxed and calm.
He as with all pets have crossed over to the green and open fields, leaving fond and wonderful memories.
He will be missed each and every day.
Martin and Cheralyn Dickerson.
