A Goodbye and a Welcome for our family

[GBK]

We said Goodbye to our Buddy in September, he was 13 and my Best Friend.  He was up for anything and couldn't wait for me to give morning snuggles and ask him the question "what do you want to do today Buddy?"  We will miss him forever and he will be forever in our hearts and memory.  Smartest, Funniest, Sassiest and Sweetest dog I have ever had.

January 6th we Welcomed a new boy into our family.  His name is Baci (means kiss in italian).  I am sure Buddy had some say in us choosing this little stinker.  He is an Aussiedoodle that just melts your heart.  Of course that is when he isn't trying to eat you with those teeth.  Kona is adjusting and he is helping us heal.  We are all very tired from not enough sleep and constant vigilance with the new puppy.  I am hoping to be here on DK more, it has been too long and I miss the wonderful discussions, advice and friendship!Buddy

Welcome back.  So sorry for the loss of Buddy.  A lot of us know this heartbreak.  But Baci can help!  He is adorable and I love the name!

Thanks Barbara.  The name was on our list, and my Dad really wanted us to name him Baci.  So we did and it fits him!

Buddy was such a cool dood :-)  I loved that he was a cockapoo bigger than your labradoodle!
Congrats on your new darling pup!

Thank you Adina.  He was a pretty special boy :)  The new guy reminds us very much of Bud, and in such a great way!  We are lucky.

My DK notifications were going to my spam folder for some reason, so I'm just seeing this. 
You know how torn up I was to hear about Buddy. He was very special to me and to many of us here, even though we never met him. That's one heck of an amazing doodle pack they've got up there at the Rainbow Bridge. 
And Baci! That was a big surprise for sure! He is adorable and I can't wait to watch him grow up! Glad we'll be seeing more of you here!
