We appreciate your nomination. Your submission is the first step to creating change. The goal in 2022 is help or celebrate four individuals.
Bubba we love and miss you.
Bubba was born May 23 2011 in Tempe Arizona. Named after Bubba Jenkins, All American Wrester at ASU who gave Derek an ENTIRE litter of puppies to look after over summer break. With no instruction whatsoever the space between the couch and the wall in the living room of Derek, Zach Hyde, and Michael Lange became home.
According to Derek, Bubba had a bark or a grunt for everything and if you listened he would tell you what he wanted. Normally it was to be covered up under a blanket or he wanted a snack.
If Derek cast a shadow you would better believe it had four legs. To say they were together a lot is an understatement. Bubba was well traveled and even has a pretty good reputation in doggie jail from what I hear. If Derek had to go somewhere, so did Bubba. To this day Bubba still has more concrete experience than me.
Bubba was and still is the most gentle hearted dog I have ever met. So well behaved in every way. There is no doubt Derek would have been a great Father after watching the way he raised, interacted and loved Bubba.
Bubba lived a life of danger but in the end he died of a broken heart. Passing away just over two months after Derek. Reuniting the pair in Heaven on May 19th, 2020.
