We said goodbye to our old buddy, close companion and good friend this past week. Scudder went to the Rainbow Bridge, where he’s now waiting for me, on Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 20. Adjusting to life without him has been difficult.
No more long walks outside as he sniffs every blade of grass to find the perfect spot to do his business.
No more counter cruising (he was very adept at that in his younger days).
No more sharing the couch and watching the Buckeyes together.
Nope, Scudder’s in a better place now, no longer suffering from a bad hip, no more pain from the possible cancer we suspect he had. And now he’s reunited with his long-time companion, Tessa, as well as Holly, Bubbles, Harley and Valentine.
Scudder gave us 16 years of joy, companionship, love and faithfulness — all the qualities that make dogs man’s best friend. The grieving will continue, but Scudder still lives in our hearts and minds and we’ll never forget him.
And so, one last time, goodbye old friend. I miss you.
