(The mighty, mighty Boone dog passed away quietly this morning. The rascally “pup”, who was once greased lightning, has now gone still. Somewhere in the ethers there’s a brown, black and white blur of fur laughing and taunting: Catch me, if you can! Rest in peace, old friend.) — YUR

So sorry to hear about Boone dog. I lost my little girl almost a year ago now – Feb 14/10. Leaves a gap in one’s life – but they give so much pleasure while we have them.
Hope your ankle/leg is healing ! You’ve had a tough time of it lately! Let’s hope the rest of 2011 will be better for you!
Thanks, MerSue!
Fortunately, we still have Ginger, our big beautiful, lovable Golden. I used to tell people that she was Boone’s *trophy wife*. She’s going to miss her *boyfriend* though.
From Christmas day on I’ve been having it rough! That’s when Ginger blew out her other knee. She blew out one a year and 1/2 ago. I’ve always said I’d never shell out big bucks for a pedigree dog (Boone was a mutt), but with these two surgeries I’m in the hole for $6K. Then I break my leg and sprain my ankle. And now, our dear old faithful pal has died. I could use some kind of a break from this string of bad luck.
Oh, well. Life goes on.

So sorry for you loss. I’m such an animal lover that it breaks my heart to hear this. Your bad luck is bound to change soon. Here’s to healing for you in body and spirit.
Appreciate it, Merle!
