My Uncle Buck passed away after a short almost 7years, with bone cancer the final 6 mos. <BR/>http://www.badrap.org/rescue/img2/buck.jpg<BR/><BR/>So, I'm a happy-ending product arising from the grief of that loss.<BR/>http://www.badrap.org/rescue/endings.cfm<BR/><BR/>My life means so much more and dedication of my people much more vigilant in memory. Yes they appreciate every moment of Buck, as they had with Ol' Jake. Yet, I can tell you from experience that hearts break to let there be even more room for the next addition.<BR/><BR/>So, the best place for crying over a Bully Dog is to let those tears fall upon the face of another. You might not be ready yet, but somewhere there is a reincarnation of that special Horatio spirit waiting until you are.<BR/><BR/>In the mean time, I wish you could just squeeze me with your grieving hugs to get out all the pain and suffering so you can heal like you helpd Horatio "from the inside". And true to our bully nature, I wouldn't let out a whimper and just lick your face.<BR/><BR/>For some uplift, search the WEB for our favorite family song to help you remember: "When Love Takes You In" By Chapman. It talks about adoption. Horatio has been adopted by you and now is home together with one like you whose Love will never dissapear. <BR/><BR/>Our prayers upon your loss, <BR/>Boris e FamigliaBorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882525604461500267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261518555104995537.post-53846607176779493162008-08-02T06:40:00.000-07:002008-08-02T06:40:00.000-07:00My room feels empty, your bed is empty, your broth...My room feels empty, your bed is empty, your brothers and sisters wont lay on it because they know it was for you only.<BR/>I can still hear you walking to me, and barking at Zorro or crying for Loli.

You were with us for less t...My sweet love Horatio.<BR/> You were with us for less than a month and the time just flew by us. Never did we think you would not be staying around for a long time. Every day we just knew you were getting stronger and better and we were anxious to see you healthy and well. Sidney and Honey and all the other furbabies at my place were praying for you and waiting to see your glorious looks revealed. But it was not to be and we so miss that opportunity to play with you and watch you play with your siblings and all your new friends you had made that you didn't even know yet. So many people fell in love with you because they could see your heart right through your eyes. They could see you had the soul of a rare being and they were blessed to have the priveledge to know you. I know I was. I am lucky to have known you for the short time I did and so look forward to the day at the Bridge when you are reunited with your mommy who loved you so much, almost too much. And you loved her the same, crying when you couldn't see her. She was your heart and you were hers. It was the first time in your very short life that you knew love and what it meant to be loved by a human, and you were quick to return that love. And all of your brothers and sisters, too. You loved Loli the most, and even on your last day you jumped up to see her when she pushed her way into to see you. You let nothing get in the way of love flowing from your heart, much like God who gave you that heart. You taught us much and gave us far more than we could even dream of giving to you, for you it was natural. Like the rivers to the sea.<BR/>Your leaving has left a great hole in the hearts of those who knew you and those who wished to know you. Our lives were the better for knowing you and we should remember that when the grief of your leaving threatens to engulf us,as it often does. Your mommy is so sad she can hardly bear it, but she will because she knows her work here is not yet finished. Even though yours was, she has more to do before she and the others can join you at the bridge.<BR/>So run, free of pain and illness and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air and creeks and butterflies to chase and soft green grass and all the friends to play with there at the bridge while you wait for her. You have earned it brave soul. And so much more. Those of us left behind will strive to be worthy of the noble and courageous dignity with which you led your life. And the gracious love you so willingly bestowed upon us. Goodbye my friend, I miss you terribly already. Kisses to you.<BR/><BR/>LorettaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261518555104995537.post-6721790199099120842008-08-01T02:28:00.000-07:002008-08-01T02:28:00.000-07:00My beautiful, sweet, gentle, loving bullyboy, Hora...My beautiful, sweet, gentle, loving bullyboy, Horatio; this is Mommy; I am missing you so much but I am happy you are in Heaven having fun with 102, Bella, Mellow, Moony, Cookie, Sissy, Babette, Toro, Osita, Thumper, Flopsy Mopsy, Paquito, Mookie, Nino and Brandy along side Jesus, Saint Francis and my papi Pablo.
