Spirited Baby Bu Heals Loss

If you’ve opened up your heart to a pet, you know how difficult it is when you lose that pet. Last year was a particularly difficult year for Kevin and me because we lost our much-beloved duo of Mykonos and Skylos.

One of the ways we eventually got through the sorrow was to get a new kitten. Buddha, or Baby Bu as he came to be known, added life and spirit back into the house and that was just what we needed.

Elfie was best friends with our cat Mykonos and when he passed away from cancer, she went into a depression. Getting Baby Bu, really helped pull her out of the depression and then helped her with the loss of Skylos.

Today, we’re celebrating one year since Baby Bu came home. Enjoy these photos from this past year with Buddha!
