Baby Buddy Buggy Bumper

Our baby Buddy passed away. He was only 12 years old. Poor boy had to deal with arthritis all his life, then he gets tumors on his butt. He had a fall and daddy landed on him after tripping over Furby. Buddy could not walk, so David took him to the vet. They did an xray, nothing broken and said it was a torn ligament. The vet gave him Tramadol. Buddy did not get up again. We don't know if it was the drug or an internal issue, but he had a seizure and passed away. I tried cpr for a short while, but he was gone. With broken hearts, we buried him next to Eisha. My heart is healing but another small piece is gone forever.

Wow, the year is half gone!

This year has been quite a roller coaster health wise and immigration wise. After many months of paperwork, medicals etc, we have the final immigration interview in September. Keep everything crossed!My health has been crap as usual.I have now been diagnosed with Crohn's disease, another one to add to the pile. The dogs have also had a rough year. We lost Willy cat about a month ago to a mauling by two dogs. I imagine he went to make friends and the mongrels attacked. Poor baby had a broken neck and back. He is now buried beneath our deck, where he played most. Buddy has peri-anal tumors, but they are non cancerous so we can only monitor them. Dinky and Max have both suffered from flea allergies and we have tried everything. Furby is just nuts. Snoopy, Lucy and Looney cats have all been okay, and for the most part, the year has been steady. Hoping for a better second half for sure!!
