What can we say.? Budda was taken from us unexpectedly and tragically and we are still lost without him. It took us a long time to allow a boy back in our hearts after we said goodbye to our first boy Bastian and we had so many hopes and dreams for him. He was a joy to own.! Smart, funny and the biggest sweetheart. He loved to cuddle with you or learn a new trick and you only had to show him something once for him to remember it forever.! i was constantly challenged by him as he was always looking for something new to do or see or try.! He helped me accept that while no-one will compare with my heart boy Bastian, others can come and make their own space in my heart. I nearly gave up after losing Budda, and my heart still cries over all the things he will never know. But Budda has helped heal something in us both that we didnt understand was broken and for this alone we will never forget him.
Waiting at the bridge with the rest of the Sokari pack for the day we're all together again.
Bastian was our first dog. He was such a sweet boy and so smart. He taught us so much about accepting each other and loving him was an honour. He had a funny habit of taking a bit breathe then sighing very loudly just as he passed to sleep. All was well in my world when I heard that sound.
Bastian was my friend, my mate, my soul mate, my guardian, my shoulder to lean on and my knight in armour when I needed saving.
Sadly he was only four when he made the journey to the bridge. Losing him was the hardest thing I have ever been through.....but having had him in my life has taught me so much that I would never give a moment back.
Kaylha came into our lives by chance. She was not a puppy and had not had the chance to be. She taught me patience. It was a hard road with Kaylha....she wasn’t always well, but she would always light up when she saw me. Friends who had her stay with them would always say what a quiet girl she was....happy for a cuddle but always reserved and proper. Till she saw me....and she would be a boisterous outgoing girl...up for fun and boxing fights.!
During our time with K she blossomed from a frightened, lost soul into a happy loving girl. She joined our family and made a place in our hearts and everyone who met her loved her.
I will always love and miss her. She was my little old lady.
Lulu was one of the sweetest girl ever. She came to us not long after Kaylha did and looking for love. Her favourite past time was sleeping and cuddling, which she did a LOT of......! We were happy to oblige of course.! When she came to live with us, Lulu was scared of toys. She had not had any it would appear and had no idea what to do with them. Fortunately for her when Lolli came to live with us, she was more than happy to teach her the joys of toys.! And then we had to lock the toys up......she would run and get them all and put them in her bed.....and you would see her trotting round the backyard with some bright coloured ring or dumbbell hanging proudly out her mouth.! She never wanted more than to be with you. Now she is waiting at the bridge with Kaylha and Bastian for when we come for them. I miss her so much. My baby is at peace now.
