🐾 SWEET BUDDY… YOU WERE SO VERY LOVED. ❤️
Those of you who have followed us for very long know how much we love our customers. And, of course, we fall in love with their furbabies, too.
This is Buddy. ❤️ His mom and dad have been shopping with us since before Buddy ever came into their lives, back when they were mourning the loss of their beloved Tito.
Then, in 2013, Buddy’s daddy found him and brought him home. Momma wasn’t exactly thrilled about bringing another dog into their lives while her heart was still hurting from losing Tito.
But fate had other plans. 🐾
Buddy had found his people, and goodness, did that sweet boy ever win the lottery. He spent all these years living his very best life, surrounded by two people who absolutely adored him.
The second and third photos were taken just a few weeks ago when they were here in Branson. They told us Buddy wasn’t doing well, and our hearts broke knowing what might be coming.
Today, Buddy is gone, and two wonderful people from Texas are grieving a very special member of their family.
Sweet Buddy, we know you’re feeling like new again. No more hurting, no more tired body, just whole again. ❤️🐾
We’ll be right here saying some BIG prayers for momma and daddy who love you so, so much.
Would all of you join us in lifting Buddy’s family up in prayer today? They are truly wonderful people, and we know just how broken their hearts are right now.
Run free, sweet Buddy. 🌈🐾 You were one very, very loved little boy.
** Our Cutie Patootie Awards will be especially for Buddy this week. ♥️ Norman and Donna, we are all sending you much love and great big hugs.
