Buddy’s Journey

Hello Everyone!

My dog’s name is Budrick Guiseppe Darling (Buddy).  He is a 10 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback Mix (I think).  We rescued him in 2006 when we were stationed overseas in Naples Italy.  He’s a true Neapolitan boy — both stubborn and handsome beyond belief!  He’s a true joy!!!

Buddy lost his right hind leg to Osteosarcoma on Oct 30, 2105.  We are currently formulating our treatment plan even as we speak.  He will have this sutures removed this week and we will meet with the Oncologist to determine if we will attempt Chemo.

I started this blog because joining the website is the best thing I could have done for my sanity and for Buddy’s as well (I’m sure he wonders why I cry all the time).  The forums, blogs and helplines have been a Godsend and I no longer feel alone.

I plan to follow Buddy’s lead as many of you have mentioned to me and to enjoy each and every minute, hour, day, week, month……..(hopefully longer) that we have together.

Thanks again to the Tripawds Community for welcoming us with open arms.

See you soon!
Buddy and Julie
