Our hearts are broken. 5 1/2 years were not nearly long enough. You were a silly boy, and you never met a stranger, you just wanted to be friends with everyone. Such a good boy who loved to play with ALL his toys, and sit in the backyard in the sunshine. You also used to enjoy getting (& giving) lots of hugs and kisses. While we don't know where or how you spent the first 8 years of your life, we tried to make your years with us the absolute best. We even overlooked all the mishaps due to your fear of thunderstorms and rain showers. We just couldn't give you back after fostering you for 2 weeks. Your companion Pretzel misses her Bud Bud very much and barks every time she goes outside, as if she is calling for you. We will always remember our "devastatingly" handsome boy, and how you rolled around happily on your back in the grass, even at 13 years old! You loved your cheese, apples, bananas, and peanut butter too (although you had such a sweet, goofy way of eating the PB!). The Apple Dumpling Gang is now missing one sweet guy, but we know there must be apples up in heaven.

Until we meet again......"When you want a good boy, who do you call? You call Bud Bud. Why? Because he's Bud Bud, and he's a good boy!"

All our love, always:

Mommy, Daddy, and Pretzel too.
