Although Boo moved
on to the bridge today (30 Dec 04), I can't help but reflect on
all she accomplished in such a short time on this earth. She
felt the sun on her pretty white coat. She felt the breeze
of a fall day in her face. She tasted turkey on her first
Thanksgiving and devoured it in one gulp. She romped in
ribbons and bows, ripping through wrapping paper on her first
Christmas eve. She reaped the unending attention and laps of
all our relatives, and spared no licks upon them. She
savored each little cookie and loved sparring for it with the
others everyday. She enjoyed laying on the sofa every
evening watching us watch TV. She adored my teenage daughter
who took her to bed with her every night. Boo taught my
daughter responsibility and how to comfort one who is suffering.
She taught the other dogs (Bebe, Toy, and Trinket) tolerance and
loyalty. I truly believe they rooted her on too. We
were so very blessed to have her in our lives for the short time
she shared with us, We will remember her sweet
face, her funny little stretches, her raspy little yaps, her
darling way she opened her little mouth to pretend to chew on
our fingers, and her way of snuggling into our arms whenever we
picked her up. My daughter, our other babies and I will
miss her. Thank you all for your support and kind thoughts.
