Kyle, I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose such a beloved dog from past experience and still can't imagine how I would handle if something were to happen to my furbaby. Tell all the Little Buddy stories you want, I still miss a couple of the dogs we had when I was a kid and talking about them always makes me smile and helps me feel better. Again, I'm so sory for your loss.
And Dan- what a great post, such a wonderful place to think of, the Rainbow Bridge.
