Our dear dog Bub passed over "The Rainbow Bridge" on June 22nd.He was 12 and soon to be 13.We adopted him from the animal shelter back in November 1998.They thought that he was about a year old then.
The bottom picture was taken when Bub was about 1 1/2.He looks a little spoiled doesn't he! He loved sitting and sleeping on the love seat when in the living room.
Ken says that Bub was my dog.In all reality that is probably true.Bub slept on the floor at night on my side of the bed.He would also cry and whine and look out the window for me whenever I went somewhere by myself.He was always so happy to see me on my return.The funny thing is that Bub did not react like that whenever Ken went somewhere by himself.
The top picture is Ken walking Bub in the snow this past winter.I included that picture since Bub loved the snow.We have a fenced area in the far back of our yard that we let Bub run around in and do his business.He loved running and jumping in the snow back there.When we first got Bub we thought that would be a nice area to let Bub stay in and enjoy some time running around.He wouldn't have it.We tried a few times and he cried and whined when we left him.So,we would take him back there on the leash and wait for him to have his fun and then bring him back inside.He did not want to be far from us.
Our two grandchildren loved Bub.Our grandson can't wait to get another dog.We told him that we would go to the animal shelter in October to look for another dog.He is really excited about that.We have two trips planned before then and didn't feel that it would be right to get a dog then to leave it in a kennel already.The funny thing is that my birthday is in October and our grandson wants to know if that will be my birthday present.If he wants to think of a new dog that way it sure is fine with me.
Bub...you are really missed!
