Our Beloved BooDog


July 27, 1996-October 20, 2008

We said a final good-bye to our BooDog today. We were blessed with his presence in our lives for well over 12 years, rescuing him from Larimer County Dalmatian rescue when he was roughly 1 1/2 to 2 years old. I have many stories to tell about Boo, but they'll have to wait just a little while.

For now, I just want to say, "We love you BooDog. Forever and a day."

Here's a quote from one of the people at Dalmatian Rescue of Colorado. I feel every word of it today.

"There is a cycle of love and death that shapes the lives of those who choose to travel in the company of animals. It is a cycle unlike any other. To those who have never lived through its turnings or walked its rocky path, our willingness to give our hearts with full knowledge that they will be broken seems incomprehensible. Only we know how small a price we pay for what we receive; our grief, no matter how powerful it may be, is an insufficient measure of the joy we have been given."
