ALL DOGS GO TO HEAVEN.......BOO....8/23/1998 TO 9/30/2010

OUR BOO.....
AUGUST 23, 1998 - SEPTEMBER 30 2010
It is a sad day in our house today....
We took Boo to the kennel yesterday and he collapsed as we took him out
of the car...
We brought him back home and he spent a peaceful night eating
cherry ice cream and lots of cookies....
We took him to the Vet this morning and he
passed away peacefully at 9:15....
We love you Boo and we will Miss You.....

Sue, I'm so sorry. I know the raw hurt of losing a beloved furry.

Bless you for giving Boo such a loving home, he was a very lucky dog and I know you must feel so lucky to have had him as a member of your family. He was a beauty in all ways.

Sending you gentle hugs. ((hugs))

Ahh Boo is beautiful My heart and prayers reach out to your family today -there is truly nothing like the love of a dog. I bet he was a good heater on cold winter evening :-) Hopefully you can sit around this evening and remind each other of the silly things he did.

Oh, my dear AM, I'm crying. I wish I could be there and hug you.
Other friends of yours have already written that, but me too I can't help to think that he has been a very lucky dog to have you as parents and you to have him as big furry boy. He will be always in your hearts.
Thanks God you were still at home and not yet away.
All my love

I'm so sorry for you and your family. I'm sitting here crying because I know exactly how you are feeling and it is horrible. They are such members of our family, our precious pets, and it is so hard when they pass.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Our pets are our family members and I know how deeply you are hurting. May you find comfort in knowing Boo had a wonderful home.

Sue, I'm so sorry to hear about Boo. Pets become such a huge part of your lives. We had to put our Lexi down in May. She was a bischon and just precious. Sometimes we think we can hear her walking thru the house. We were so sad the first couple of months. But at least she is no longer in pain. Boo was a beautiful dog and looked so loving in all the photos you posted. Thinking of you.....Lynn

Oh Sue, now this is something I wish we did not have in common -- the loss of a much-loved dog. We lost 3 dogs in 5 years; it never gets any easier and I still miss them.

I'm sending cyber hugs your way, and will lift a glass to your dear Boo tonight, in celebration of his life with his wonderful family.

I'm so sorry. Cass

Oh my! Tears in my eyes - not as many as are being shed by you, I'm sure. So glad he could enjoy his food to the end - must have some Italian blood (or New Jersey) in him. Cry hard and remember with fond memories! Take care of yourself. Sally

I am so sad over this and didn't even know Boo however I know he was a very good dog.
I have been through that before and it hurts.

I believe all dogs go to heaven or God wouldn't have saved the animals during the big flood. He loves dogs as much as we do.

Sorry for you loss

Oh Sue, I know you loved that furchild like crazy! He sure looked like a very content, well loved baby. I hope that soon the pain of loss will ease and the wonderful memories of Boo will fill your heart.

I wanted to thank my Wife for all the love and tenderness she gave to Boo over the years. Her love and care helped make his life special. Even though she often commented that he was "My Dog" because he would only come when I called him.....Boo never took his eyes off her each night while she prepaired a loving meal for us.
I have lost my Pal, but I am still the luckyest man in the world to have such a wonderful wife!

Sue, your knew it was coming, but gosh, that doesn't make it any easier, does it?! I know how you loved your dog!

I'm glad for you that you were with him at the end.

Big dogs leave big holes. I know all too well (she said, crying as she typed!) When our dog Howard died, someone sent me this essay: http://rainbowsbridge.com/poem.htm

Oh BOO indeed. :-( I just hopped over here after seeing on your FB page. I am so sorry...when I think about how some day we'll be without our Miss Maggie, it just tears me up. So I know how you must feel.

Thinking of you...and I promise to get back to blogging (or at least blog visiting -- having a hard time carving out time because, um, my job is kind of bad. There, I said it.). Enjoy your 60th b-day weekend!!! xoxo Laura

Dear Sue, I'm SOOOO saddened to hear about Boo! I had missed this post earlier and saw something that made me realize you had a pet that died. :( Losing a beloved pet is just the hardest thing and I truly understand how hard it is for you and the entire family. We had a Sheltie that was 13 yrs old that we ended up having to put down after he became extremely ill. It's still hard., and he's been gone for 9 years. I have his pic on the frig with angel wings on him...His name was Starry! I'm sure Starry & Boo are in Doggie Heaven together. You take care...and I will be thinking of you and yours! May your memories of Boo keep him close to your heart always... Hugs, ~CC Catherine

Daughter got a call on Wednesday at 4:00 a.m. from our home town Police Force..... It seems the "Big Boss" called them after seeing women in his closet and a dead man hanging from his Ceiling Fan.... Only Problem.......He doesn't have any ceiling fans in his house... Daughter...... having to make the decision what to do with him.....since we were home in Georgia sound asleep....and unable to hear even a bomb go off... Had the police take him to the local hospital...... Now the BB is heading towards 90 in a few months.... He lives alone and still drives.... We have been trying to get him into an Assisted Living Home for the past three years... He refused to budge.... He refused to let anyone into the house.. We also tried to get him to give up his license....to no avail.... The sad part is we could not get anyone to assist us... His doctor told us years ago that he was a grown man and we couldn't tell him what to do.... So back to the ER this Wednesday he was checked ...
