BUDDY
11/27/91 - 01/27/09
Our Pomeranian had a good long life and we are sorry to see him go.
We learned a lot about dogs while Buddy was growing.
An anal gland problem as a pup due to feeding such a small dog just dry food.
This required a surgery to correct and after only wet canned food.
Buddy developed epilepsy and was put on medication.
Thanks to a very knowledgeable pet store owner we were told that
Epilepsy has been caused in animals just as in humans from red dye in the food.
Took Buddy off of all red dye products and soon he no longer needed medication!
Next, Arthritis attacked his legs.
Unable to walk, we thought for sure that he would have to be put to sleep.
Then another miracle, One morning he awoke and was just fine, acting like a puppy again.
Much later in his years, he slowed down, tired and listless, panting constantly in the heat of the summer. Buddy got a hair cut so he wouldn’t sweat with all his Pomeranian hair.
Wow, back to puppy time again! From then on his hair was kept fairly short.
Up until 3 years ago Buddy had no animal company.
Then Suzie our cat and Candice, my sons Jack Russell, were thrown into the mix.
Buddy was a trooper accepting them with no problems.
But the trouble they could get into was another thing.
3 months went by then Candice had to go back to her own home.
Buddy was lonely again.
A few months, our beautiful Doodle the ferret was found at our door step.
It was love at first site, chasing each other everywhere.
Then it happened, sickness struck again.
2 years ago Buddy developed a severe mouth infection!
Another surgery to remove most of his teeth.
Almost instantly he became ill with a kidney problem.
At his age they were shutting down and beginning signs of displacia were found.
Back to medicines until a change in diet to low proteins was established.
In the past year Buddy’s eye site and hearing started to fail, but he accepted Chase the kitten readily.
This winter unfortunately was just to much for a dog of his age.
With displacia and severe arthritis the pain was just too much.
We were blessed to share in the life of Buddy.
Living just over 18 years, longer than most Pomeranian's.
A joy!
