In loving memory of our Buddy Allen who we love so much. Buddy Allen will be greatly missed and be in our hearts forever.

Bud~ When I found you in the woods on that rock you were only 5 weeks old and I couldn't believe that someone could abandon you like that.  We had an instant connection, I knew I was going to save you and take care of you but what I didn't know at the time was that you were going to take care of me too.

You were my best friend, you played with me, let me dress you up, let me hug you when I needed to cry and helped me weed through boyfriends until I found Jason.  You were there for Jason when his dad died, you were always our rock.  You never missed a beat, you knew us better than we knew ourselves, you were remarkable.

I remember all of the fun we had, you loved chasing the red dot, playing with your favorite ball, sniffing the fresh air, laying in the sun, watching TV,  tapping my face with your paw when you wanted a kiss, helping me type my papers in college (thank god for spell check or you would have gotten me an F), sitting on the deck and sitting on the window ledge "running the neighborhood".

Jason and I love you so much, so do grandma and grandpa.  The love you gave us, the lessons you taught us and your spirit will never leave us.  Until we meet again Bud, and I know we will...I love you.  xoxoxo
