Buttons

On March 7, 1999 Buttons Salgado was born.  She came to live with my step-dad Ray and his first wife Shirley.  I met Buttons right after I met my new step-dad.  She took me into her heart right away.  Mom and Ray just celebrated their second anniversary so I’ve known her a little longer than that.  When I would come to visit, she was so excited to see me again.  I will miss her so much.  I loved to hear her “snuffle” looking for food snacks on the floor.  When she wasn’t snuffling, you could hear her softly snoring.  I can still see her eyes glistening as she would look at me with love.  One time that I was visiting there were a lot of thunder storms and Buttons would not be happy unless she was sitting on my lap.  I think that was the same visit that she growled at a workman that came to the house because he wanted to shake my hand as I was introduced to him.  She was such a loving little soul.  She brought joy to my life and I miss her greatly!
