I wanted to take a moment today to remember my little Buddy who I lost last year. I hope nobody thinks it a strange thing to do – it was just something I felt the need to do for myself.
Not a day goes by that I don’t think about him and I will love my little man always. He left a huge space in my life and I hope I get to see him one day again…
I miss you Buddy … Love Mommy.
Not strange at all. Losing a pet is a body blow and we all know how much he was loved.
Of course it is not, I actually dreamt about my cat last night. The cat I lost 7 years ago :/ And i still miss her
If it’s what you feel, that’s what you should do. The bond you shared and your love for him was so strong, and losing a pet is always such a loss for its family…
OMG, what a sad post! We all miss him too!!! Not like you of course, but I know I appreciate sharing in his life and finding new love with Sammy but never forgetting Buddy!
Hugs, Darlene. I’ll be feeling the same about Maggie come December. Hope you remember some of the smiles today.
That’s not a strange thing at all Dar. Buddy was a big part of your life and you loved him lots. Our pets become part of the family and it is heartbreaking when they pass. ((hugs)) Remember all the good times you had with Buddy. And you are lucky to have Sammy now. I think he’s got you wrapped around his little paw 😉
I don’t think it’s strange at all. Buddy was a member of your family – of course you miss him.
It’s not strange at all. I think it is nice to remember Buddy and have a little tribute to him. He was a huge part of your life and he will never be forgotten! I am sending comforting hugs!
Not strange, Dar. Totally understandable. We still think about Murphy a lot. Dogs are part of the family and we miss them when they’re gone. Sending you a hug.
Oh Darlene, this post brought tears to my eyes…nothing strange about it…it shows that you have the capacity to love unconditionally…that’s a wonderful thing.
Hugs my friend…
Thinking about you today. Take care and lots of hugs.
Not strange at all! Great picture of Buddy!
He was an adorable little guy, so very sweet. Even tho he isn’t with us any more, he can still live in our hearts and memories. He was part of your family, and he is missed.
Thinking of you..
Big hugs to you, Dar! I remember my sweet Eddie every day, and sadly he’s been gone for many, many years. We never forget our precious furbabies.
Not strange at all…hard to believe it’s been a year. Hugs to you today, Dar.
I do the same thing everytime Valentine’s Day rolls around. Hugs.
He is in good company in heaven along side 8 of my beloved, terribly missed cats.
Oh Dar, I think it’s wonderful of you to honor Buddy in this way. I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts. If it’s halpful to you posting about Buddy that’s all that matters. Your love for Buddy and the relationship you two had is amazing.
Buddy was adorable and I think he’d be so happy to know you adopted Sammy.
dogs have the kindest hearts, I can imagine you miss him terribly, I still miss our dog we lost when I was a kid.
thanks for stopping by my blog, yay for another Canadian! It is ALWAYS windy in Lethbridge, I can usually hear the wind even with the windows shut (wow, a lot of ‘win’ for a very un’winnining’ sentence). However, it’s saturday and that is as good an excuse as any for my first readathon!
perfectly normal – he was part of the family. Hugs Dar!
Our pets become so special to us that they aren’t just pets, they’re our family. I love my doggy as much as if I had given birth to her. Yes, she’s my adopted daughter.
HUGS!
I don’t think this is strange at all. I still remember my bichon Harvey who left us three years ago. There is still a space left in my heart where he used to be!
Perfectly normal, Dar. How could you not be thinking of someone you loved so much? Buddy was such a loveable cutie pie. I’m glad you have so many pictures of him.
{{{{{hugs}}}}
Anniversaries always bring memories of loved ones back to the forefront of our minds. Your beloved Buddy looks so sweet. Sorry for your loss!
I lost my first fur baby over six years ago, and I miss her every day, even though I have three others now! Remembering Buddy is not strange at all!!
Definitely not strange at all Dar…Sending hugs your way! Buddy was a part of your life and family and he will always hold a special place in your heart.
Thinking of you today Dar as you remember Buddy and how much he brought to your life.
This is a very sweet idea, and not at all strange. It’s been two years since my darling Nefertitti died, and I still think of her all the time.
Not a strange thing to do at all, Dar. We all know how much you loved each other and even though you have Sammy now, he will never replace Buddy.
Oh, I am so sorry for your loss – it doesn’t matter how long they’re gone…you just keep missing them. My girl, Caribou, died in January 2009 and I still think of her every single week and miss her still.
Buddy was a big part of your everyday life. I would think it odd if you didn’t miss him.
What an adorable face! I can imagine you miss him terribly.
Awwww. What a sweetie. He was your special guy. I understand. Hugs.
Not strange at all. I had a poodle from the time I was 10 until I was 25 years old. I still think about him and miss him…I will be 59 next month. When our pets become part of our lives they also become part of our hearts. When we lose them, a part of our heart goes with them.
Smiles,
Cindy W.
I find nothing strange about it at all. In fact, I’ve got tears in my eyes after looking at his sweet face and it just brought back all my hurt from losing Bruce. I’m writing this with Daisy laying right next to me and I’m so thankful that God put these sweet animals on this Earth for you and I to love!!
Hugs to you!

Not strange…beautiful. Buddy would appreciate it…and he loved you very much…and you took great care of him. I miss Charlee every day and can’t even put away his leash and collar….he’s got an honored place on my bookshelf these days.
Not strange at all. You brought tears to my eyes. I hope you get your wish.
As you can see, nothing strange at all by doing this. I love your post of him. He is so precious. When I moved, I had to leave my baby behind. I found a great family for him, but I still cry knowing that he is not with me. So, seeing this makes me think that our animals are not animals – they are tiny humans with fur!
Love you honey!! Hugs!
Such a sweet thing to do-and not strange at all. He was a sweet little thing and a big part your life. I dread the day we won’t have our Molly with us. Our pets become such a part of our lives—
*hugs*
I always enjoyed your stories and photos of Buddy and I’m glad you have shared this too. He was obviously a special little guy and he was lucky to have you. We all care about you and hope our words offer some comfort. Pets are very special and it’s so hard to lose them. I remember every one I ever had. I’m glad you have Sammy to share your love with now. {hugs}
Precious dog… he is looking over you, always.
Such a cute picture. I know how hard it can be to lose a beloved pet. He will never be forgotten and it is great that his memory and love can live on.
I have Charlee’s picture right above my tv in the living room, so I think about him every day and miss him horribly, so it’s not strange that you feel that way about Buddy. ((HUGS))
Not strange at all, Darlene! Our pets are like our family members…beloved, even after they pass. Buddy was adorable. My first dog when I was three years old looked a lot like him. Her name was Chilly. You know, even after all these years, I still miss her. She died when I was about 8 or 9 years old. I still miss all of my pets that have passed over the years so I know you are missing Buddy. I know in my heart that he is happy on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.
I also wanted to thank you for visiting my blog and for following. I’m now following you back. 🙂
I don’t think it’s strange at all. Of course you still miss him.
I hope that you were able to remember some happy moments on this day.
Aww not at all. Here’s to Buddy.
Dar, even I think about Buddy from time to time. Of course you’ll never forget him, and that’s a testament to what a loving heart you have. He wa your Buddy in more ways than one! I’m sure you have lots of happy memories and I hope those are the ones you focus on. 🙂
Dar, not strange at all! I still miss Hoochie Tina, and Robbie. Sometimes I call Amanda, Tina and D.J., Robbie. No matter how much time passes I will always miss them!
