This morning, our beloved cat, Buddy crossed over the rainbow bridge, taking his last breath naturally in the arms of his human mom, with his human dad by their side. He was surrounded by his family, knowing he was truly loved.

He came into our lives, by happenstance, the same day our dog, Jesse crossed over 13 years ago. He immediately became best friends with our son Tristan, who was 10 at the time, and our daughter, Ashleigh, who was 11, immediately fell in love, and all of us with him.

He became very ill a couple of years ago, but both Tristan, and Buddy were determined it was not his time, making an amazing full recovery. Recently over the past week or two, we noticed him becoming weary of his time here on earth, realizing he may be ready to cross over the rainbow bridge where he can be free and full of life once again. We will miss him tremendously, but our hearts will be full knowing he is running around, full of life and keeping an eye on all of us, as we did him. We love you Buddy!
