Our Best Friend

Nathan and I lost our best friend yesterday, our eleven-year-old black lab, Buddy. He was getting old and it finally all became too much for him when he collapsed as he was chasing a ball and didn't want to get back up. We rushed him over to the vet and found out he had some major heart problems along with a failing liver and other issues. We had to make the unbelievably tough decision to put him down. He's been a part of our family for years so this wasn't easy! We both stayed with him until the end, holding his paw and stroking his soft fur. He went peacefully and we know he is not suffering anymore.

I was lucky enough to have so many pictures of Buddy, so I felt like I should share some. We miss him so much!
