I'm sure they would Q1. Thanks for that.

I am so sorry to hear about the dog, And you are right- they will know when it's the right time and they will not regret spending those days with him. It will be especially important for their son.

keep us posted.

[Mad Aussie]

Will do.

I spoke to Graeme on the phone yesterday to see how things were going. He said to say thanks to Bambi and Q1 for their comments on Buddy.

Buddy is doing ok apparently. He's brightened up a bit on seeing them but sometimes looks quite ill. At one point he slumped in Graeme's arms and his eyes started flicking around and Graeme called Dean and Mandy over to say goodbye. Might just have been a small seizure or something because he rested and was ok later. Graeme says he can see Buddy wants to live and is having happy times for now so he won't put him down immediately. Literally it is 1 day at a time.

On the camera front he bought a new DSLR. After looking at both the Nikons and Canons in his price range he walked away with a Canon 50D. Virtually the same as I have for those non Canon users. The faster shutter speed and the fact he has a few old Canon accessories like a couple of lenses swayed him to stay with the brand. So ... the photos should start coming through once more soon

Just checked their album .... only this quick point and shoot shot by my sister of Mandy with Buddy after they picked Belinda and Buddy up from the airport

Still watching this thread with much interest, and again thanks for sharing so much of your families life with us MA.
As for Buddy, I am sure he has had a wonderful loving life with them and knows it. They sure do become part of the family, and the longer they own us, the harder it is when they have to leave. Just wish they could outlive us instead.
Keep the posts coming MA and let them know our hearts are with them.

Thanks HBG ... I will.

Let's see, he's a dog and he's in a car. If the window is rolled down he's happy.

It's good to hear that Buddy has perked up. May his last days, however many there are, be good ones.

Buddy was put to sleep yesterday. It was time to end his pain.

He's a dog we will remember and miss always.

Rest in Peace Buddy
