If Buddy could talk he would have told you thanks for loving him enough to let him stop suffering a bit ahead of schedule. Clearly you loved him very much and he must have known and that means he had a great life while he was with you. Rest in peace, Buddy.
I have a cat named Ollie that wasn't supposed to live past a couple of weeks old (run over, collapsed lung, severe herniated diaphragm)... some of you know he has pancreatic issues as an adult and has needed surgery a couple of times, yet he has hung in with Megan and me for 6 years so far. I dread the day I have to think about letting him go but in the mean time I am so grateful I get to have him with me. He is truly one of my best friends. All pet owners will have to let go at some point but we can at least be grateful for the time we have our furry friends and all the unconditional love they give us.
