New additions
So... we added a kitten to our farm the day before Buddy "wouldn't wake up." In our grief, we then picked up the kitten's brother as well as TWO livestock guard pups. In the same way Princess was Buddy's cat, these two kittens were the pups'. The dogs stood back to let the kittens eat their (big) puppy food, in the same way Buddy let Princess have access to his food. [I guess I should say the dogs belonged to the cats!] In the below photo, the kittens are curled up agains
Eulogy
Buddy was the BEST DOG ever! He was likely the most loveable, friendly big galoof out there. He was very talented and smart, but true to his breed, he wouldn't obey orders unless he chose to. Yet he was eager to please and always there to greet us with so much love, always wanting to be near us. We never saw him sleep - not until the day we found him "sleeping" instead of bounding toward us full of joy and life. We think he saved us from a very venomous snake. Either way
