Sunday evening we lost a great companion, friend and family member. Buddy crossed over the Rainbow Bridge after gracing us with his love for close to 17 years.
We will miss him greatly and always remember his love of food, sunbathing, trying to make his bed, snowshoeing, interacting with our grandkids, car rides and most of all being with me from the start of Mad River Antler.
The routine was the same for almost 17 years. Always willing to help in the shop. Selecting antlers to chew of course, cleaning up all the antler dust from drilling and always reminding me to take breaks, hikes, lunch, happy hour and the most important, dinner time.
I enjoyed our time together and will Deeply miss him and our daily routines.
RIP Buddy Blue!
