It’s been over a month since Budd went off to the Bridge. Little did we realize this guy had wormed his way deep into our lives. The screaming for breakfast was a little tough to listen to at first but he never yelled for supper. 
He belonged to the clean plate club!
We are joining Brian’s Home for Thankful Thursday as we thank the wonderful families on the blogosphere that gave us their understanding empathy and helped us through this unforeseen hurdle. 
From the many comments on our post to the cards and letters coming to our house……we are thankful for all your thoughtfulness and kindness, 
A big hug to Ann of Zoolatry for her memorial badge for Budd. Click on the blog names and go for a visit. 
A whisker kiss from the girls to Ingrid from Meezer’s Mews & Terrieristical Woofs. 
Thank you for these badges. They are wonderful.
BTW: Shoko and Tyebe are playing together which warms my heart.

Budd was loved by everyone. He was a special guy and worked his way into everyone’s heart including ours. We will always miss him. His badge will be on our blog when we go back to our regular theme after Halloween……We’re happy to hear the girls are playing with each other now – that’s PERFECT.

Yep, they actually play together and when Tyebe jumps on Shoko…..Shoko completely disappears. Tyebe is a big girl.

We know your hearts are still hurting at the loss of Budd. Mau has been gone three months (yesterday), and we have not gotten accustomed to this “new normal.” Those in the pet blogosphere are the kindest, most thoughtful individuals, and we feel privileged to be part of it. We know you will hold Budd in your hearts forever. Shoko and Tyebe playing together…is the world coming to an end? Snap sends lovely Tyebe oodles of whisker kisses.
