Hello everyone,
I hope you are doing well this week.
Robert and I received terrible news on Monday afternoon (March 9th) that our bloodhound Buford had pasted away.
For those that did not know the story of Buford; he was given to us by a woman in Charlotte that Robert had met while working for Loomis. She was unable to care for such a large dog in the city limits and offered him to us. When we went to pick Buford up he was covered in mud and in a small outdoor kennel. We placed him in the back of the truck in January of 2007 and took him home.
Robert began to nurse him back to health and on our vet's visit only a few weeks later we had learned that Buford had heart worms. He had already won my heart and I remember just crying in the vet's office that Saturday morning. On our way home I cried and cried because he was such a loving dog. We decided to take Buford on his first hike with us to Hanging Rock; who would have known he was sick the way he walked us! We decided to have him treated the following week.
Buford loved Robert's parents and his dad would take him on a long walk everyday and give him his favorite treat...a hotdog! Buford fathered 10 puppies with our bloodhound Daisy in the summer of 2007 and they were beautiful dogs!
We will all miss Buford so very much! He was our furry friend and our baby!
