Bandit commonly called Bubba 1991-2004

Donna's Husband Bill called today to tell me that Bubba had to be put to sleep. He did not want to tell Donna while she was driving home, so He asked me to tell her when she got here.

Bandit got out, and ran into the street, which is something he NEVER does, and was hit by a lady in a pickup. A neighbor rushed him to the vet, and called Bill, but he was too badly hurt to save.

This is devastating to all of us. He raised Sadie, and she would not go outside without Bubba-dog. unfortunately she was too rough on him, as he had arthritis bad, so DOnna took him back to Ellensburg.



He was Donna's Soulmate. She does not really care for animals, but tolerates them, and he followed her down the street when he was just a puppy. She took him back, and he jumped out of the box where they were giving away puppies, and followed her down the street again. It was Fate. She owned a dog. Where ever DOnna went, Bandit went.

He loved her and she loved him. She called about 10 this evening and said she was going home, she had called Bill from the Ferry line, and he told her. This is like losing her child. I feel so terribly bad for her and Bill.

Why do these Damn animals worm their way into your heart like this. I hope that where ever Bubba-dog is right now, that there are lots of open spaces for him to run, and lots of doggie friends to play with. He was a wonderful animal.

You will have to excuse me tonight, I cant see the keys through the tears. and the nose is running down my face...
