Hi, Jorge and Buster

Thank you for stopping by my thread about my LIttle Guy. Just wanted you to know I read you post there and did just answer you there so please stop by again because I want to make sure you got to read what I wrote you.

Hugs to both of you....always and forever

Thank you Love Them I did. This morning went to the park again and exactly to the Creek where My Buster just to get in for many years and get all wet and I seat down for a while and no one was around at that time and took the opportunity to speak with Buster for a while about many things and told him that I will named this place "BUSTER'S CREEK" in his honor, I think he would it like that, to you all thanks for stopping by and reading this for us, Blessings always, Buster and Jorge

I'm so sorry you lost your baby. I understand how you are feeling and wish there was some way that none of us had to feel like this - that we could keep our beautiful little friends forever and ever. I know we can in a way in our hearts and memories. Thank you for being here for me as I deal with losing my gorgeous little Sabra, and please know that I am here to do the same for you.

What a beautiful memorial Jorge. I think I'll do the same thing. What a great idea.

God Bless

BUSTER'S CREEK......

I like that, Jorge. I like that a LOT! Buster must be wagging his tail off to know something is named after him and him alone.

Hugs to both of you

Thanks Love Them, Candy's Dad, RhiRy and myhrtisbrkn. I had some invitations to go over some neighbors to have a good time and watch the fire-works [they all know about my loss] but I did not feel like partying, I went to rent some movies and spent the whole weekend doing nothing really I just miss My Son Buster so much that every time I think he died I get so depress and the pain I feel it is so unbearable and so is the sadness and really hate my flash-backs, seems that am not able to erase from my memory the exact moment when he was dying in my arms and every time that it happens and am lying down I have the need to jump up seat down fast and cry out loud big time and really I don't know what to do, I wish he was here with me and am asking God to give me another chance to see him in my dreams more often 'cause it only happened just once, I hope I will dream of him soon again, I miss you My Son badly, hugs to everybody that stopped by to see how I was doing, bye for now, Buster and Jorge

Jorge:

I understand what you mean about pictures in your mind that upset you. I have those trying to get into my mind about my boy's last day with me and it is hard to do, but I push them out and just remember I had no choice in what was happening to him. And whatever power made him sick, made sure he could not be saved. It is an awful painful memory of something out of our control.

It is brave of you to go through this by yourself at home. I could not do that. When I lived by myself...I had to have one of these babies with me. I needed to hug them physically. If I could not have my boy back...I had to open my empty home to another who had no home. I had no more boy to hug and Lucky, my adopted one, had no one to hug him...so we fit together. Without control of the pet population there are always so many who are waiting to be needed and loved..and I have always found the distraction of giving a homeless one my home...has always helped me get through my grieving.

We never forget our special ones who were taken away. Our spirits are bound with their forever. They have a special place in our hearts and our minds and memories that is theirs alone and because they always loved us so much and so unconditionally...they do not want us to be in pain. I found I do not want an empty home, I am too emotional and the pain is too great. I have to be distracted and a new boy gives me some peace. I can't help but be distracted because these babies always want all our attention.

Acceptance that we cannot change what has happened is one step. I went to the local SPCA and looked into the eyes of so many until I felt a connection with one. He was one of 400 living together and now he is one of one baby living in our home. He is his own personality and at times, there are things he does that make me miss my boy but I have to push that hurt out of my mind because there is nothing anymore that I can do to help my Little Guy. I have to learn to live with him gone. It is not easy and it was never easy with others in the past...but I still do not regret getting another when one is taken from me. I can't stop fate from taking one from me but I have not been stopped from getting another...ever. Grieving is painful and exhausting and depressing because we know there is nothing that can bring them back to us. But we can only exhaust ourselves so long...our babies wanted us to always be happy just as we wanted them to be happy and with that wonderful love they gave us, I have no doubt they watch us and are happy when they see us smile or laugh again..and for me, that means I have to have another to hug.

As one Mom here said: The pain of losing him will never ever be greater than the joy of knowing him. I agree. I am glad I had him in my life and we always know someday that terrible day will come when they are taken from us...but I still am glad I welcomed him into my life and I would do it all again for him to be with me and I treasure the years we were given to be together.
It is babies like ours that teach us how to love them and show us how much they love us..and when they are taken....they surely hope what they taught us..we can share with their brothers and sisters who are still here...for that is what "unconditional" love really is all about.

I think of my Little Guy everyday because I make sure his pictures are everywhere but I know he is not walking in the door to greet me anymore...that is what cruel fate took away. But I am glad I adopted Lucky as it feels good to be able to hug again and feel that love inside them that appreciates what we do. It just helps me so much...I can't help going on about it.

Keep posting, Jorge, and I think the next time you go to Buster's Creek...take a picture of it and put it in a frame with a note it is Buster's Creek and put it in Buster's special place so he and his Creek are together.

Hugs to you and Buster

My Son Buster I remember bringing you home. You were so small and cuddly with your tiny paws and soft fur.
You bounced around the room with eyes flashing and ears flopping. Once in a while you'd let out a little yelp, just to let me know this was your territory.
Making a mess of the house and chewing on everything in sight became a passion, and when I scolded you, you just put your head down and looked up at me with those innocent eyes, as if to say "I'm sorry, but I'll do it again as soon as you're not watching."
As you got older, you protected me by looking out the window and barking at everyone who walked by.
When I had a taugh day at work, you would be waiting for me with your tail wagging just to say, "Welcome home. I missed you." You never had a bad day, and I could always count on you to be there for me.
When I sat down to read the paper and watch TV, you would hop on my lap, looking for attention. You never asked for anything more than to have me pat your head so you could go to sleep with your head over my leg.
As you got older, you moved around more slowly. Then one day, a disease took its toll, and you could'nt
stand on those wobbly legs anymore. I knelt down and patted you lying there, trying to make you young again. You just looked at me as if to say you were old and tired and that after all these years of not asking for anything you had to ask me for one more favor.
With tears in my eyes, I drove you one last time to the Vet. One last time, you were lying next to me.
For some strange reason, you were able to stand up in the Animal Hospital; perhaps it was your Sense of Pride.
As the Vet helped me out putting you on the table you ate your last three biscuits you liked so much and drank lots of your ice water then he asked if we were ready and I looked at you one more time with tears in my eyes again and told you "Am sorry I have to let you go" hugged you and kissed you and we say yes we are ready and as soon as he get into you the first chat you looked at me with the sweetess look as if to say, "Thank you for taking care of me" and before he gave you the second chat I thought and said out loud, "No, Thank you for tanking care of me" then you closed your eyes half way and I helped you out to have them completly closed then dry out your tears with your soft towel, kissed you and hugged you one more last time, looked at you and they took away but I stopped them one more last time and kissed you and hugged you again one more last time and you were still so warm and saw you going away from me one more last time. Then losted and cried and the Vet and his helper came back to me and saw him he had also tears in his eyes and told me am sorry one more last time.
My Son Buster, am so lonely without you I wish you were here with me like always I miss you like I never thought I would, am a total mess right now, always you will be in my thoughts every day, every hour with every second for ever, love you still and always will, your Daddy Jorge

Hi my Son Buster how are you? I hope you are ok up in Heaven without me. Me?, well you know I miss you big time, the pain still there fresh like it dosen't want to go away and glad about that, 'cause I want to keep your memories as one. It has been only 20 days since your died and sometimes I lay down on my couch and I go Wow! can not believe you are really gone and your face comes to my mind as fresh as always and cry, wish you were here with me right now to hug you and kiss you like I did for so long, forgive me for feeling this way this sad and I am a total mess, nothing I want more that to have back now, sorry for still feeling this way but I can't help it 'cause I loved you like I never love anyone or anything before and just thinking you were taking in the most unkind way makes me feel that my heart it's broken into so many pieces hard pick them up. I know there are some people that have lost their loveones too at the same time I did but I don't see them suffering as much as I am right now, am not trying to sound selfish but I see it this way. I think you would it been glad to know that I named the Park Creek "Buster's Creek" in your memory, I Love you Baby Son Buster and always will till the day I died, I love you again and again and miss you a lot, Dad Jorge

Hello to all of you. "FROM THE DOGS"
SEARCHED HIGH AND LOW TO FIND A WAY
TO TREAT YOU LIKE A DOG TODAY
AND SPOIL YOU THE WAY YOU SPOIL ME!

Hi to you all, new news for you all, am a new Daddy today! My next door neighbor she is 89 years old and her son and doughther took her to live to a home do to sickness and officially I adopted her 8 years old Yellow Collie Mix her name is Trixie which just to be My Son Buster's next door's neighbor, they just play together every day in the afternoon and some evenings too so I know her well as she knows me, I know her since she was a poppy. Also early this morning went on line to my nearest Humane Society Location and Surprise! they had another Tri=Color Collie Mix available for adoption, he is a boy 3 years old and looks just like Trixie only a bit younger and a bit darker too. Well I have lost Buster and am sure he helped me out helping this two new Angels in my life and to be under my wings now, probably he saw me so sad and desperate without him that he tought "You may have lost me but I am sending you this two Angels to take care of each other." I promess I will take new pics of my two new Angels soon. I know no one can re-place My Son Buster nor my love for him but I got the chance to be a new Daddy and sure I am that he is very happy to see me loving and receiving love from this two my new Angels kids. Their names are "Trixie" she is 8 years old Yellow Collie Mix and "BJ" that is for "Buster Junior" he is 3 years old Tri-Color Collie Mix also. God Bless you all and thanks again for all the help received from all of you thru all this sad, desperate and dark days I had, love always and always here for you all, Buster, Jorge, Trixie and BJ {"Buster Junior"}

Jorge,

What can i say...I am very happy for you...
Although new here, i followed your story with Buster and saw how much pain you were in..

I'm so happy your new Angels have entered into you life...I'll look forward to seeing their pictures.

All the best Jorge, Buster, Trixie and BJ

Hey Jorge!!! I am ecstatic to hear your GREAT NEWS!!! When you first talked to me about Trixie, I remember you had some reservations about taking her in for your neighbor. In my heart I knew you would eventually adopt her for YOU!

There's no doubt in my mind that Buster is so very proud of you for taking such good care of his friend. Sharing the love you have keeps Buster's love alive. Extending his and your love to two special dogloves is amazing. This is such a wonderful thing you have done not only for your neighbor, Trixie, and BJ..............but for yourself as well. Everybody involved came out a winner this time. Buster must have HUGE smiles on his face as he watches over you in these exciting times seeing you feel some happiness and joy.

May all your days together be filled with love as both Trixie and BJ, these two very special earth angels, spend the rest of their lives with you.

Hugs to all 3 of you,
Beth

OH, Jorge

This is absolutely wonderful news. You have found (or Buster led you to) 2 new babies who needed love and a home and you needed your home to not feel empty anymore. Another physical body can do wonders. Knowing how dogs are, I would say you will be so appreciated and loved...and double now.

I am so glad for you and for Trixie and BJ and you can tell them all about your angel, Buster, and....take them and show them Buster's Creek.

Sometimes I wonder about the timing of things. I lost my Little Guy in September and my new boy, Lucky was found abandoned and taken to my SPCA down the street in...September.

You just lost Buster very recently and here are 2 babies....needing love and a home and you need to be able to hug, give your love and a home to a baby who needs one..and there they are.

It must be Buster helping you....and Little Guy helping me. I look forward to pictures when they are ready. In the meantime, these 2 sweethearts will be keeping you busy...in the nicest way possible. How wonderful!

Thanks for sharing your good news. Jorge.

Hugs to you and Trixie and BJ...and we will never forget the important Angel named Buster. We send him our love and hugs too.
And thank Buster for your new ones....He just never stops showing his love for you, does he? Just beautiful!

Buster's Memorial and Resting Place, RIP my Sweet Angel and Dear Son Buster, will miss you for ever and ever, Love always, Papa, Jorge

Hello to you all, how are you today? Like to thank one more time to goliath, Love Them and justme and many but many others for the nice and kind words for Son Buster and me. Here is one of the first pics I took yeasterday when legally became Trixie's and BJ's {"Buster Junior"} New Daddy, I hope I made the right decision, did I? Always, Buster, Trixie, BJ and Jorge

Jorge

What beautiful pictures of Trixie and BJ. Thank you for posting them.

Believe me, Jorge, after myself having to make many decisions about these sweethearts in my lifetime, I am just 100% positive that....YES, YOU MADE THE RIGHT DECISION!

You have just given two lost souls a home and lots of love...how can that NOT be right?

And the timing of their need and your need...just makes me keep thinking that
Buster had to have something to do with this happening.

Hugs to you and Trixie and BJ....and your Angel forever...Buster

Congratulations Jorge!!!


That is great news! I know they will help ease your transition.


God bless!
