toronto dog photographer | Buddy, run free little man.

I met Buddy early last week for one of his final days on Earth.  He crossed the rainbow bridge few days later and he is running free.  His human sister called me a few days before the shoot to inquire.  She explained to Buddy’s health situation and it was a surprise for her mom.  Buddy is twelve years old and he no longer had the use of his back legs.  His vet was away, but upon the vets return the family was going make a decision on his future.  She was concerned we wouldn’t have time for the shoot, but for these types of sessions, I push everything aside from my personal and business life.  We booked the shoot immediately.  When I met Buddy, he was super happy, enjoyed the smells around him and was very attentive to the treats, he-he.  I was really surprised how well he was doing, but his sister explained to me that it was odd, he had been on a decline.  A few days after the shoot, I received a message that he was no longer with his family.  His health continued to get worse.  The photo shoot was his last good day.  It’s like Buddy knew he had to be a little model for his family.  Some of you may be asking, “isn’t this a surprise?”. Well it was, but Buddy’s sister couldn’t hold it in much longer.  She let her mom know about the shoot they booked for Buddy.  I haven’t met Buddy’s mom, but I know her and Buddy have a close relationship.  I want to send her and the family my love during this difficult time.  I know how hard it is to lose a furkid.  It hurts, the home feels incomplete, the days seem to slow, and you wish you could cuddle with them one more time.  I wish I could say it goes away, but it doesn’t.  You never want to feeling of missing a loved one to go away, but it gets easier.  You will start to celebrate all the memories.  The days you are sad, some how Buddy will be the one that pops into your mind and makes you smile.

Buddy, it was a pleasure to have met you and you left a paw print in my heart forever.  Rest in peace little man.
