that one dude

It's been 1 year today without you Buddy. I still catch myself looking for you in all your usual spots in the house. I still wake up in the morning hoping it was all just a dream and that you'd be right in my face panting with your stinky morning breath lol. Buddy was a big hugger btw, in case you can't tell from the first two pics.

Huggin the floof

But hugs only lasted for a few seconds, cuz then he would need space to go CWAZY with the ZOOOOMIES. Which is usually when I'd grab the leash so we can go for a walk. Buddy would proceed to roll around in all the clean patches of grass he could find (he LOVED Irvine for this).

Then in his final senior year, he became more contemplative while rolling around with his wheels. I wouldn't say he was tired persay, cuz if I let him, we'd walk for ages before he'd want to turn back home. He would just stop at random places in the neighborhood to take in the smells and just chill.

Something a lot of fellow pet parents would understand, is how they look at us. Full of love in their eyes. This angel was such a good boy.

He'd always check on me if I'm being quiet for too long. Just come up and stare at me til I pet him and he'd lay his head in my lap or lay down on my feet. Content that I'm ok. I'm trying to still be ok without you Buddy.
