I just posted in Dog General that my brothers dog had cancer. He lost that battle suddenly this morning. I still do not have details of his illness, but it really doesn't matter anymore.
About 10 years ago (more or less) my SIL was at PetSmart getting food for their other yellow lab mix, Digger. She came down an isle and at the end of that isle a young pup (who reminded her of Digger) was peeking around the end of the isle. Just at the sight of him she fell in love. She ended up bringing him home with her. Go to the store for food and come home with another dog.
They named him Boo because of his "ghostly" coloring. Boo loved Digger and Digger was less than thrilled with the "puppy" that liked to chew on his hind leg when playing. But they got along without problems.
Some years later Digger and Boo went on a voyage across the street. When called back home Digger was hit by a car. He lived four days at the vet, then went to the bridge.
Three years ago my niece was at the library waiting for her mom to pick her up and came across a black lab mix puppy just wandering the streets. Her and her mom agreed they couldn't leave her there. So they took her, tried to find her owners and when no one claimed her she became their Lucy Loo. Boo accepted her with no problems either. I felt it was payback in a way because Lucy bugged Boo just like he used to do to Digger.
Digger was my "dog boyfriend", so when he was gone Boo became my boyfriend. He would sit in front of you and sit up on his bottom with his front paws on your arms while you petted him. He was the sweetest thing.
In a couple of weeks we will be going there for my nieces graduation. It's going to be so weird without Boo there.But I know Digger is showing him the ropes at the bridge and he is pain free now.
Here are some pictures I've posted on here in the past.
RIP Boo Boy, I'm going to miss you!!
