Hudson

Our dear sweet, sweet Hudson (formerly known as Danny Boy),

The love, laughter and joy you brought into our lives for over 12.5 years was beyond immeasurable – unlike any other. We’ve never had a beautiful fur baby quite like you. We were like Velcro starting on your gotcha date.  Immediately you became a central part of our lives sharing daily life with us as if we had always been together. You gave us your heart unconditionally as we gave you ours. We were all so deeply connected for many beautiful years, our lives so very intertwined.

From the very first day together, I knew it was going to be special as you jumped right into my car and licked my hand on the way home. Your new daddy had something special on the grill for you that evening. From that day forward we were family – just the 3 of us., for the next 12.5 years.

You healed well from the heartworm treatment, gained needed weight, learned to understand that your reflection wasn’t another dog in the house. You chased squirrels, rode around in our golf cart, got a job at Rover Oaks as a social tester and became known as “Huddy Buddy” because everyone loved you. You learned to like the water enjoying wading in the pool, would only fetch if it was one way, became my co-counsel when I worked. We enjoyed going to the park, barking at the ducks, running through the sand traps on the golf course, lounging around and just snuggling, watching movies. Your kong was your second love as well as your stuffed blue doggie and caterpillar. Belly rubs were the best only succeeded by daily Yappy Hour. We never had to use a leash with you – you always wanted to be right next to us. There were many hugs, kisses and embraces every day. I would be doing something and turn around and there you were. You stalked your daddy knowing he was the much better cook and the head chef of your favorite home-roasted peanuts. You were his golf cart coach and best companion. You just loved being with us and loved and trusted us as much as we loved and adored you. We were family.

The ending to this earthly life together is overwhelmingly painful and we are deeply hurting. You were our beautiful furry baby – our heart’s joy. We hold your love in our hearts shaped as your pawprints. Please look over us with your heavenly wings as we grieve your loss, until that day when we can love and kiss and embrace you again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Love, Mommy and Daddy
