Bud


Black and White

After the loss of our elderly dogs, we decided to adopt an elderly soul from a rescue organization.  I searched all over, and kept coming back to Bud.  Thanks so very much to Arizona Border Collie rescue for allowing Bud to share our lives.  They allowed not only an out of state adoption, but out of country!  We are indebted to them.

Bud needed a home, but more importantly, we needed Bud.

He was deaf, had a bad leg (which had been surgically fixed with metal plates) so was arthritic and hobbled around.  He was a wonderful old soul.

He got along well with all our dogs, our cat and was wonderful with our young son.

Bud was only with us for less than a year, but in our hearts, he was with us all our lives.

We miss him terribly, and know he awaits us at the Bridge with our others.

Til we meet again old friend.

We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, as they
prepared for their journey and waved goodbye,
and 'slipped the surly bonds of  earth' to 'touch the face of God.'

- Ronald Regan
