🐾 In Loving Memory of Buddy Richard 🐾
Rescued in Watertown, NY
Passed November 11, 2025
Buddy Richard was more than a rescued dog—he was a blessing, a companion, and a loyal best friend whose love transformed every day for his family. From the moment Jackie and Scott Richard brought him home, Buddy filled their lives with joy, laughter, and the sweetest kind of devotion.
Known lovingly as Buddy Liscious, Wisher, and Bubba, he made sure everyone who met him knew his heart was as big as his personality. He adored his human siblings—Abbie and Deacon Richard, and Billy Barrett—as well as his furry companions, Parker (who welcomed him at the Rainbow Bridge) and Enzo, his playmate and partner in mischief.
Buddy lived life the way all dogs should—with enthusiasm and pure delight. He loved camping, the beach, taking walks, and of course, sleeping in the coziest spots he could find. His absolute favorite place to rest was in the bed with his parents, where he made it his mission to win the nightly battle for the covers against his dad.
His favorite snacks were Chewnolas, Busy Bones, and Pupperoni, and he savored them like treasures. After every meal, Buddy performed his signature full belly roll, complete with dramatic flair, as if it were a celebratory ritual. If someone happened to be lying on the floor, Buddy made sure to steamroll right over them, turning affection into laughter every time.
He had unforgettable routines—especially his strict bedtime schedule. When the hour arrived, he would stand at the bedroom door and bark insistently until his family came in to tuck him into bed. He was a snuggle bug through and through, happiest when curled up beside the ones he loved.
Buddy’s days were filled with simple joys:
• Playing with Enzo
• Having dinner “conversations” with Parker
• Watching the Buckeyes with Mommy
• Laying beside the campfire on family trips
• Listening to Abbie read to him, one of his favorite comforts
• Barking at Enzo until he sparked the zoomies, then delighting in the chase
He always wanted to be with his people, no matter where they were. That was Buddy—present, loyal, loving, and joyful. His heart was made of pure gold.
Buddy leaves behind a family whose lives are forever better because he was part of them. He brought warmth, comfort, humor, and unconditional love—every single day.
Rest peacefully, sweet Buddy.
Your gentle spirit, your silly routines, your deep snuggles, and your joyful heart will be cherished forever.
You were, and always will be, one of the best boys.
