Saying goodbye is never an easy thing.
Meeting someone who does not pass judgement, loves you for who you are, is always there for you, kisses it better, and loves you absolutely unconditionally would usually be a hard find. Not this time, not with this friend.
I met Buster towards the end of October of 2016. I walked into his house and he barked at me while wagging his little nub. As he cornered me against the door, I thought this is the most vicious guard dog on the planet...NOT! I bent down to pet him while he kinda barked and kissed me. How could I have known I would love him so dearly. He would be my helper, confidant and biggest pain ever! Literally. He was always right behind me, under foot. I will miss that the most.
When my soul mate and I got together, we were sort of like the Brady Bunch. She got the unfair part of the deal. She brought 2 loving dogs while I brought what my friends fondly called "The Devil Dog". He barked at everyone and was a menace to society. Not even this deterred Buster. Instead, my Sampson not only tolerated him, but would cuddle him, even though he would sometimes still attack him, we knew he loved Buster. The power of Buster. They would stare out the front window together and bark at the passerby's.
