Saydee Buentello

April 1999 - December 23, 2011

The twelve wonderful years Saydee has been with us will never be forgotten.  She was one of those companion dogs that owners would cherish for a lifetime.  Any new pet that came into our home, Saydee would let them know who was the boss!

Saydee loved to go for car rides.  It didn't matter if it was a ride to town, or a trip to Texas.

Losing Saydee to a tragic and unexpected death two days before Christmas of 2011 was very hard on our family.  We think about you a lot Saydee.  We love you Saydee and we will miss you.  You will always be close to our hearts.

Love, Buentello Family

I think about you alot Saydee. There's not a day that I forget about you. I miss the greetings every morning when I come home from a long days work. You always waited for me at the door with excitement. I miss the daily walks which you enjoyed very much. I miss the kisses that you gave me to let me know that you were there beside me, when I was taking a nap on the couch. Our home is different with you gone but we know that your with us. Love you Saydee

Today is Dads birthday, Feb.6th. Everybody at work was wishing me a happy birthday and all I could be thinking about was you. Every time I pull up in the driveway after work, I remember how you would always sat by the window waiting for me and start barking with excitement. I truly miss that. Bella, your partner in crime misses you also. When I pick up your collar, Bella's ears would perk up and she would run to the back patio door looking for you. I still take Bella out for daily walks and I know how much you loved that too. I still feel your presence near me while walking with Bella. You will always be with me and I will never forget you Saydee because Dad loved you so much.

Saydee Lady, this is your dad again. Spring time is just right around the corner and I know how much you loved this time of the year. Winter this year was very mild. The older you were getting, you didn't really care for the snow unless I was outside shoveling the driveway. You always kept me in your eyesight.
There's not a day that I forget about you. I think about you a lot and I miss you so much! Everytime I see your picture, I shed tears and I always will. I carry your collar everywhere I go and just listening to your tags jingle, I still look around to see where your at. Bella, your companion, misses you also. Sometimes I will call your name by accident, she picks up her head and looks around for you. I haven't been doing the daily walks since your passing. It brings back a lot of wonderful memories we used to have during our walks. I have a hard time dealing with it.
I've been telling mom to write to you but she is also feeling the pain of losing you.
Everytime when I'm driving, I have a habit of looking back to see you enjoying the ride but your not there and I will continue to do that because you were so special me and the family. Love you Saydee Lady. I will write to you again. Bye my puppy dog.

Saydee Puppy Dog, this is your ole man again. Spring time is somewhat here and you know what did during this time, Turkey hunting! Just before the season started, I went out scouting without one person beside me and that was you! I know how much you love to go out to the farm. You enjoyed it everytime I took you to the farm. I always love to see the excitement come out of you when we scouted Turkeys. You had to sniff and explore everything you came upon and I miss that dearly! I did come home with a Trophy Gobbler and I'm pretty sure it had to do with your presence being beside me. You were always my luck dog. I did have your collar with me and I will continue to hold on to your collar for the rest of my life! I miss you Saydee.
The only thing that has changed in our home is that we picked up some baby chicks for egg laying. You would have loved to terrorize them in a good way! Bella wants to eat them! I wish you were here to see them.
I'm glad that Bella had the opportunity to grow up during the time you were here. She has learned alot from you. I wish you were here now so she can continue to learn more. Nobody has picked up the dominance in our home because I think that Bella, Lucy, and Hanna still thinks that you will someday walk through that door and surprise them.
With the weather getting nicer, I spend a lot of time outside doing things. I look in the places where you always loved to lay. I still picture you there and it hurts to know your not there. I have the tendancy to call your name when I'm ready to go inside and I catch myself saying it.
It's going to be a long season without you here. I really miss you girl. Love ya Saydee! I'll write to you soon. Bye Puppy Dog!
