I miss you Buster.


A week ago today, my family and I took Buster on his last car ride to the vet and in a small exam room we said goodbye and "I Love You" for perhaps the millionth time to our dear baby. I never talked about it much on my blog, but Buster had been sick for quite some time. The cancer had pretty much spread throughout his body in the past few months and in the past two or three weeks, we had been noticing a decline. The last days of his life, he was definitely not his bouncy and energetic self and we could see that he was just tired of it all. It was then we made the decision to not let him suffer any longer. He still had his dignity in the end. We love him and miss him so much. The photo above was taken on his last day. Still the most beautiful dog I've ever seen!

Rest in Peace Buster Brown. 2001-2012.

PS. It's because of you Buster that I'm vegan.

This is so sad! But sweet. A lot of people seem to be losing their pets this time of year.
I'm sorry to hear about it. He's a beautiful pup.

oh kmouse, I'm so sorry for your loss. Buster really is such a super handsome dog. I love his spots, and the dark fur around his eyes. How lucky you are that you got to be together for so long... and how lucky Buster was to have such compassionate and loving human pals.

I am so sorry for your loss. I was so touched by his beautiful face. I know you must have an ache in your heart. Have you ever read the poem, "Rainbow Bridge?" It is about where our beloved pets go when they pass. Wishing you comfort and peace.

Thank you everyone for your kind and comforting words.

Heliotrope,
Yes I've read it. They included a copy of the poem with his ashes that we got back a few days ago. :)

I am so sorry for your loss. We lost our Buster at the age of 14 about 7 1/2 years ago. I still keep a picture of him the living room and still miss him. I'm sure he's at Rainbow Bridge waiting on you when it's your turn.
HUGS!!

Thinking of you!

Oh man I'm so sorry and sad to hear you lost Buster. What a great dog he must have been. I lost 3 beloved cats over the years that got cancer and one that had FIP and saying goodbye is the worst! At least for the humans but the animals don't know it's a final goodbye they just know they love you and you are with them and then their pain is gone....As hard as it has been the best thing I did was get a new kitten. It brought life back to a sad empty house and I had that joy again (even though you never can replace your baby!)

My condolences. I lost a cat this year that I've had since I was eleven so I sympathize. Much love.

Thank you for being a steward for Buster's life! I am so glad you had the courage to let him go, and that you were so connected to his needs. We lost our sweet 15 year old Lab in January, and I miss her every day. I hope you heal quickly and I am so sorry for your loss.

Cat! =^-^= said...

My condolences Kim. Stay strong. Buster would be very proud of everything you do for animals.
