Buddy came from someone who lives around the city of Baltimore, and I don't know if there are any programs there that would have allowed his owner to get the care/food that Buddy needs, I know there are around where I live. I also *think* that he had found a job, but that it was going to be taking him away from home for very long hours. Being involved in these types of scenarios are always been the saddest ones to be involved in. And for Buddy, it wasn't and isn't like it's a needed surgery, or injury, it's all food related allergies that have caused his issues. Good food, the baths, and the medications he needs for his skin to heal may not seem like a lot to spend, but for the owner, it was just too much to take on, and I know we all understand that, and hope that we are never in these kinds of dire straits where these decisions have to be made. ~Kim at Golden Pines~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02001523468339091407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-62906798242771352192014-11-17T06:15:10.631-05:002014-11-17T06:15:10.631-05:00So sad that lifelong companions are forced to be s...So sad that lifelong companions are forced to be separated because of money!!!...:)JPjp@A Green Ridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15217268829093983376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-70832895393326006122014-11-17T04:10:53.664-05:002014-11-17T04:10:53.664-05:00Crikey ..... that is just too sad.

Excited, thinking he was going to the park....What a tear jerker. I know our local food bank collects pet food for those that cannot afford it. There is also another program that collects needed supplies for pet owners that cannot afford them. Is it not possible to help an owner with needed care, when it is obvious that they love each other, or is there more to the story. I know I read that he had been on the streets of Baltimore. <br />I know Buddy desperately needs medical help and obviously his owner had a huge heart to let him go, but it just seems so sad. I hope his former owner has some needed blessings in his life. Thank you for loving and taking good care of Buddy.<br />This hit me extra hard, because Gus will be 5 tomorrow. I know his former owner loved him and cried when he gave Gus to us. He could afford him, but didn't have the time to take care of him properly. He wanted to keep Gus, but knew that it was not in his best interest. He still occasionally emails asking of his welfare. Gus is such a wonderful dog and I know if they had known how to raise him properly, they would not have had to give him up and go through that heartache. I can't ever imagine giving him up. <br />Gus' Momsophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235597043756467342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-74218954430645716952014-11-16T22:11:22.717-05:002014-11-16T22:11:22.717-05:00Buddy's former owner obviously loved him selfl...Buddy's former owner obviously loved him selflessly.
