In Memory of Boo

Boo in 1998

This past Wednesday we lost one of our four-legged kids. We got Boo as a puppy in October of 1996. We had 13 great years with her. She was a great dog - she loved kids and other dogs. She was a trouble maker though. She loved to get into the trash and the laundry - our dirty underwear had to be kept away from her! I also have quite a few pictures of her with a muddy nose. She will be missed! Kayley especially is having a hard time since she grew up with her and she says she was the only dog that would follow her around.

Here's our Boo Girl the morning of the 16th. She had stopped eating and wasn't able to get up and move around. We didn't want her to suffer anymore. We were with her for her last breath.

HEAVEN'S DOGGY-DOOR
My best friend closed his eyes last night,

As his head was in my hand.

The Doctors said he was in pain,

And it was hard for him to stand.
The thoughts that scurried through my head,

As I cradled him in my arms.

Were of his younger, puppy years,

And OH...his many charms.
Today, there was no gentle nudge

With an intense "I love you gaze",

Only a heart thats filled with tears

Remembering our joy filled days.
But an Angel just appeared to me,

And he said, "You should cry no more,

GOD also loves our canine friends,

HE's installed a 'doggy-door"!
