Sadly, we had to say goodbye to our beloved Buddy last Friday, May 13, 2022. He was officially named Buddy Bear Pavlov Morton when Buddy joined our family in 2005.

Buddy, as we called him, lived up to his name because he was everyone's buddy. He loved us, his family - including our most recent additions of grandsons and wanted to be wherever we were at all times. He did not like being out of sight of us, and in recent years, me especially - his dog mom.

He and I became so close and he was such a great comfort to me as I walk through grief from the losses of our sons -Reggie and Ryne, and -- Buddy grieved too. He felt their absences because he loved them too. But he was Ever present for me and always listening to me, faithfully by my side everywhere I went. He was a special dog like no other.

He was 3 years old when he became a part of our family and 19 years old when he passed. I was not ready for you to go Buddy and I will miss you so much. My heart is so saddened by your passing and its so hard to let you go. The house is especially quiet now.

Go now and find my children that have passed before me. Be looking for me in heaven to join you someday. I know exactly what you'll do when you see me, you'll run and jump on me and bark so loudly because you are with me again.

I love you Buddy, you are so missed!
