I got some sad news today. One of the Boy’s friends, Bud, past away. Bud was a 15 year old Lab mix. Bud, and three other dogs, Tanner, Sage and Jack, along with their humans would get together with the Boy, Husband and I for Dog-a-thons. A Dog-a-thon consists of a long hike in the woods. Usually the dogs would find a pond or creek and go swimming. After their walk, the dogs would line up in a row and wait for their treats. They would patiently wag their tails and wait their turn for the treat. Then each dog would go home, exhausted from a day of frolicking with his friends.
Tanner passed away a couple of years ago, and now Bud is gone. The Boy, Sage and Jack are around the same age. Hopefully, we will have a Dog-a-thon in Bud's honor as soon as the weather breaks.
I’m sure that Bud is having a good time with Tanner at Rainbow Bridge. For those of you who are not familiar with Rainbow Bridge, it is a wonderful piece about where animals go when the pass away. It always maks me cry.

I am terribly sorry to read this,Seeking. I recently lost a beloved furfriend of 17 years, so I do hear you.
Oh My. I'm sorry to read about this as well. I have a friend who lost a dog after 14 years and it was really devastating for her.
My prayers are with Bud's human family. I have some friends here dealing w/ either terminal pets or recent losses.
The Rainbow Bridge piece always makes me cry, too, even though I feel like such a sap because it's so sentimental. But there's nothing like the love you get from an animal. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of Bud.
Best regards from NY!
