So very sad. The loss of a dear life-companion is always so heartbreaking.

Replace that dog ASAP. It wouldn't hurt to throw in a kitten or two....

Thanks Yrna...I hope the home gets another dog....it will not replace Buddy..but it will help the residents cope with living in a non-normal situation....

:-( noted. maybe they can go to a shelter and adopt...?

thx yrna, noted with sadness.

buiddy was very important for them & as gysele noted, the shelters could provide another buddy to them, but not another "buddy"

Sunday February 13, 2011, 5:21 pm
my heart goes out to the residences i hope someone brings them a new dog, maybe one from a shelter or rescue!

Sunday February 13, 2011, 7:33 pm
Noted... how sad! I think it would be nice for someone or some place to donate another dog to the facility. Wish I could... and would if I was able, but I'm not. These people need a cheerful little buddy to replace the one who's now gone..

Sad. Thank you Yrna.

Yes they need animals to keep them happy.

My deepest sympathies. Animals are the greatest joys. Everyday they do something to make me laugh, or teach me how to get out of my stupid head and just be. They are the greatest teachers of unconditional love. I would be simply bereft without them.

rip precious buddy. lets hope the retirement home adopts another doggie and a cat or two or three.

So sad.

I know how sad it is but what I know is all these animals had a good home and happy life and they loved and were loved by their human. I really think they should get a new pet, of course not to replace Buddy (no animal can replace each one), but just to have a new companion for all the residents there.

Animals love so generously. They leave a gaping hole. Thank God for their presence in our lives.

Monday February 14, 2011, 6:51 pm
I'm sure MANY shelter animal friends would love to live here!

SAD, INDEED, BUT HE LIVED A WONDERFUL, HAPPY, PURPOSEFUL LIFE! NOW HE MAY TRAVEL OVER THE RAINBOW BRIDGE AND MAKE ROOM FOR ANOTHER BELOVED DOG AT THE HOME! THIS IS WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE WITH ANIMALS IN SHELTERS ACROSS THE WORLD! PLACE IN THEM IN ELDER HOMES, THERAPUTIC RESIDENCES, HOSPITALS, HOSPICES, PRISONS, AND ANY OTHER FACILITY WHERE THEY CAN HELP BOND WITH HUMANS AND STRENGTHEN THE MORAL AND SPIRITUAL EVOLUTION OF HUMANITY! THEY ARE THE SUPREME TEACHERS AND GUIDES OF THE PLANET, AND THEY ARE REWARDED FOR THEIR GUIDANCE WITH NEGLECT, ABUSE, AND MURDER.
WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO....AND A LOT TO LEARN FROM OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS ON FOUR LEGS. MAY BUDDY BE FROLICKING IN DAFFODILS, CHASING BUTTERFLIES, AND CHEWING BONES WITH HIS MANY CANINE COMPANIONS IN HEAVEN AS WE SPEAK.

a place like this is a perfect spot for an adult shelter animal...or 3...it benefits the people and the older pets for adoption at the shelters who get overlooked for the younger cuter animals.

Monday February 14, 2011, 8:07 pm
Noted Tks... R.I.P. Buddy....

Monday February 14, 2011, 9:55 pm
May Buddy rest in peace, and once the grieving is past may they find another Buddy.

Each death is actually a new beginning ... The death of Buddy is a great loss, but also represents a great hope that a dog from a local shelter might be saved!

Tuesday February 15, 2011, 4:13 am
AWWWW, so sad, this doggy was loved. Hope they can adopt another dog, sounds like a nice place for a homeless pet! I thinks they should get a couple of pets form a shelter!

Tuesday February 15, 2011, 5:09 am
How sad!! Pets are a great way to give comfort to the elderly.

Tuesday February 15, 2011, 9:31 am
Am so sorry about buddy, he's in a better place.

Tuesday February 15, 2011, 12:21 pm
They should honor Buddy by giving a home to another older dog who has a lot of love to give. The local shelters are full of them... and it would be a beautiful match.
