Buddha
Buddha: In late October, 2022, our precious 21-year-old Buddha passed. I held him close, in my arms, through his final hours. He had suffered an apparent stroke yesterday and simply couldn’t recover. Buddha has been an integral pillar of our lives since January 18th, 2018, when we welcomed him into the Leashes End family! Buddha came to us from a family that could no longer care for his increasing special needs. Honestly, Buddha came to us as a hospice case and we could hardly believe his longevity. Buddha suffered from advanced heart disease, fainting spells, an enlarged prostate, an old eye injury, a neck injury, and other ailments typical of a dog his age. Since seeing our cardiologist, Buddha’s health improved tremendously, but as you can imagine we always took life one day at a time. Buddha was a lover … he loved people, cats, and young dogs! He was a snazzy dresser, rarely seen without his signature t-shirt, sweater, or bow tie. He enjoyed life to the fullest, sprinting around the yard like a pup and flirting with other cats & dogs. And what a terrific snuggler! Without a doubt, Leashes End will never be the same without our Buddha. Run free! Z”L. Hug your pets close. Our time together is much too short.
