Sorry to hear about Bado, I remember when you were first united with your little babe… Love to you and Jason and Dumpling from across the sea and land…
Mandy, my heart is so sad to hear this news. Sending well wishes across the sea to you… losing a pet is the hardest thing… they are such good friends of ours. Rest in peace little Bado!
Oh my darling! Such a beautiful dog…a beautiful friend. I’m so deeply sorry! I’m almost afraid to admit it – I’ll do it just for you – but I was more heartbroken and lost when my beloved pet friend died than when my mother passed away a few years ago. My pet was like my baby. My home was so empty. My condolences. May peace come to you soon…
Stephanie, she was just like our daughter yes. The most gentle girl (unless if other dogs try to take away her ball…) and we’ll miss her forever. I’m so sorry for your loss, too. I feel how you feel.
sweet sweet bado. she’s so beautiful.
hopefully she’s in doggie heaven now, gnawing on endless supplies of barbecued dog bones, chasing around new buddies
RIP
Oh no Mandy, I’ve so sorry to hear your loss. Hopefully there is a pet heaven where she is running around with her friends (and meeting the dogs I have had too). Hugs, Sofia
I recently had to put down my dog of 16 years two weeks ago. The pain is immeasurable and I’m sure you’re finding little to no comfort. Take faith in your recipes, your pups, and your loving husband. Because that shit is REAL.
