I got an email from Buddy Dive saying that their dog, Puck, had passed on. While we stayed there, we had a blast watching her on "pigeon patrol" at the pool bar. I am donating a lot of animal supplies in her name to the bonaire animal shelter (I own an online pet supply store). I hope everyone who knew her, will remember her just as fondly as we do.

OH my heart is breaking and tears are flowing! I am so very sad to read this! We have stayed at Buddy Dive, every year, since 1999 and always loved giving her belly rubs each time we came "home" to BON! During our visit, last month, we saw her every day in the pool bar.

While not unexpected (she was getting pretty old), this hurts....

Such a touching story and sweet pup. It's lovely that the Buddy Dive staff and their visitors are remembering Puck in such a wonderful way.

Sure. I put it in there. Anything that is purchased for the shelter will get a 25% discount. Puck was really special, and I would like to help out as much as I can, in her name.

Hi, Cat. That's wonderful! I just checked your profile page but did not see the web address for your business. Could you check again for us?

Wasn't she just adorable. I love the pic of her sleeping under the chair.

Yeah, its a dog's life, but somebody's gotta do it! Puck was a good pup.

I will miss Puck. When Seb and I stayed at Buddy's, she and I would do a walk-around just to make sure everything was okay. I don't know who enjoyed the walks more, Puck or me.

I've seen Puck bark without even lifting her head. Truly a dog on island time. lol

She would really perk up if there was a lizard or pigeon to chase out of the restaurant area, though!!

We got to know Puck when we were there a month or so ago. I'm not allowed to feed our dog anything off the table at home, but with Puck, well, that's another thing entirely, and I relished the opportunity, but maybe not so much as Puck.

Such Sad News, In our 5 visits to Buddy dive, Puck was always a pleasure to visit with. She will be missed.

I don't know how Puck could live so long at the restaurant, and never become a mooching pest (like my dog!). She'd take food when offered, sometimes... but I never saw her beg. She definitely was more awake and aware on Steak Night.

Here's another Puck story for you.

Coo and Screamer (wow that cat is LOUD) stayed on our table outside our room the whole week we were there. No matter what time of day or night it was, that cat would scream everytime it saw us through the window. We actually had to keep our blinds closed just to hide! I remember I gave him some chicken, and he tried to scream with the chicken in his mouth! That was hysterical.

So sorry...we were there in May and saw that she was not moving too well..We were hoping that we would see her again next year..She was a good calm girl and would be sorely missed.
