On a slightly more positive note, my parents said their goodbyes to Buddy-Dog and even got him the small headstone they were thinking about. Basic epitaph: "He was our BUDDY" and gave the years of his life.
All that said and done, they found someone who was willing to give them a Shih Tzu puppy. They named him Buddy as well. I voted for Buster Keaton but what can you do? 🤷 Buddy 2 looks like Buddy 1 but with brown and white fur rather than black and white fur.
Got some pictures of Buddy 1 and Buddy 2 as well.

Fear is the mind-killer.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
