We rescued Buck from an animal shelter in Loveland when he was a tiny puppy.  Over the last 14 years he filled our lives with love, barks, and laughter. He was a smart, lovable, funny dog with the softest ears and longest tail, and he faithfully stayed by our sides through thick and thin.  During his time with us we also adopted his sister Rae Rae, and the two became best friends. He always made us smile and feel loved and protected. Buck loved being outside hiking, camping, walking, swimming to fetch sticks, running and chomping the snow, and playing fetch with his favorite squeaky football which we replaced at least 6 times. He had the most caring heart and the longest tail that always lovingly knocked everything off of our coffee table.  Thank you, Buck for blessing us with your love and enthusiasm for life.  Until we see each other again sweet boy, please know that we will always love you and miss you dearly. Ann, Klint, Oliver, Rae Rae, Roxy, Beatrix, Randall, and Barkley Hawkinson
