Thank you Dan and Janette for those beautiful poems and thank you to all my friends her who kept me in their thoughts.
It was so hard to do but my BIL came over and did it here and I held him while Michael administered the medicine. I am so glad I did. I held him for quite some time and it felt good to hold him in my arms w/o it hurting him like it has for the past year or so. We buried him in our back yard next to Hank (our lab) and later, our new dog, Doc, went and laid down next to Bucky's grave.
Thanks for being here for me. I know I have been a bit emotional lately. I have always said I couldn't love that dog more if I had birthed him myself and then I had Hunter and I decided t was still true. You may think that is weird of me but I loved that dog like a child--he was my baby. I'll miss him. But I have hope that our pets go to Heaven and that someday, I'll be with him again.
And yes, Damo, I will cherish my precious memories. Over 16 years, there are many. I am thankful tonight that I was given that little dog to care for and love and that he loved me too. I am thankful he went so peacefully to the Rainbow Bridge.
{{{hugs}}} to you all. I am sorry to go on and on about this...
