Buddy Mann 1997 - May 25, 2013
After 16 years in residence on Kerrville Folkway in North Austin, "Buddy” moved on to Doggie Heaven last week.
Known as the "neighborhood pet” for his welcoming grin, better suited to a Cheshire cat than a mixed-breed canine, that grin had begun to fade in recent months as muscles in his back legs deteriorated. Read more... |
Buddy Mann 1997 ~ May 25, 2013
After 16 years in residence on Kerrville Folkway in North Austin, "Buddy” moved on to Doggie Heaven last week.
Known as the "neighborhood pet” for his welcoming grin, better suited to
a Cheshire cat than a mixed-breed canine, that grin had begun to fade
in recent months as muscles in his back legs deteriorated.
This open-jawed, happy-to-see you border collie mix was having to endure
being toted from his long, deep sleeps to food and water bowls. Then a
heart murmur found several years ago by renowned neighborhood
veterinarian Doyle Wood returned, making every breath Buddy took labored
and, I suspect, painful. His doorstep greetings had come to an end.
Early on a Saturday, surrounded by his Kerrville Folkway family and the
loving team of vet Dr. Doyle Wood’s Balcones Animal Clinic, Buddy moved
on. He was at least l7.
Survivors include Bob Mann and Valerie Phillips who welcomed a
badly-wounded Buddy into their home in 1997 where he fell in step with
the glorious park romps and home life of his new hosts, the energetic
and comical mother-daughter mixed dachshund team of Wally and Molly.
Like all pooches we grow to love, Buddy was, indeed, one of a kind, but, in journalism lingo, there is a "back story:”
That 1997 summer, I motored in my red Miata to my high school class
reunion in Cameron, 70 miles away in Milam County, where I grew up and
where my parents lived for more than half a century. Read more... |
