Leaving on a Bittersweet Adventure!

My dad and I are off to Europe! In about an hour we will board a flight to Switzerland where we will spend about a week before going to Italy for a few days. Excited to see friends, explore new places and see new birds! 
Meanwhile back at home our old dog Bukki is not doing so well. So very sad to say goodbye today knowing that when we return home in a couple weeks he may no longer be with us. Love you Bukki!! So happy to know he is in the loving care of my mom...

I was six years old when we first adopted Bukki. This is our first hug! He quickly became my best friend.
