29 Jun Buddy
With a very heavy heart, I write something here for my companion, my bud, my best friend, my therapy pal and to my biggest love of all.
Buddy was born in Kelowna BC on Aug 17 2010 and was adopted by Jamie Lacroix in Vancouver BC on Nov 26 2010.
Buddy had a 1/2 brother who was 9 months younger named Boomer who passed away back in 2019 at a young age of 8.
We all moved to Vernon in 2018.
Sadly, Buddy passed away on Father’s day June 21 2026.
He will be greatly missed and never forgotten. I will cherish the moments, the days and the years we had together. My heart is broken 💔 but I know in time will heal. Until we meet again, you rest in peace and say hello/wuff to little Boomer.
I love you always my sweet little man.

My Little Angel
Nov 26, 2010, the love and bond did start.
When Buddy and I entered each other’s heart.
He was nervous the moment he walked into my place.
So, I let him wander to get comfy in my space.
I became his guardian to provide for, love, feed and train him.
Hence, he would grow up to be a part of my tree and limb.
We grew up to be inseparable with everything we did.
Like father and son, he was my kid.
I gave him a life a lot of dogs don’t get.
Home cooked meals, lots of toys and no regret.
I would do anything for him; he was my soul mate.
Even when I finished dinner, he would lick my plate.
He was my best friend anyone could ever want.
The love expressed to each other when we flaunt.
He was truly my therapy companion I needed him the most.
When life was challenging here and on the coast.
He grew up so fast, where did the time go?
My little Buddy taught me to love; oh, it did show.
He was more than just a dog for me.
He was my little angel for me to see.
On August 17, 2010, the day Buddy was born.
I lay him to rest June 21, 2026, for me to mourn.
Although the years will go by and the memories will last.
I will cherish the time we had together even though it went so fast.
I love and will miss you my little Buddy
For you my little Angel

Posted at 09:30h, 01 JulyHi Buddy, it’s me. I just wanted to say I miss you every day since you left me on June 21. It’s only been over a week and I know your spirit is around me as I do feel it. You know I will always love you even though your physical being is no longer here. Our spirits will reunite one day. Big hugs my little man.
