Boo Bear ~ My Baby

I've been grieving all day. Today, we had to put down my baby girl. She was one of the greatest joys in my life. She was a perfect mutt. God only knows what she was, but she was very loved.

Boo was only five years old. She was a happiest puppiest on this earth. She was sent from heaven to be one of the greatest loves of my life. Last week she was diagnosed with kidney failure. We are not really sure why she got it, but the biggest thing we found out is that she had Lyme Disease. We think she got it as a puppy when we rescued her from a Miami backyard breeder. She was covered with ticks from head to toe. My mother spent hours getting them off of her with tweezers. From the day she was brought home everyone wanted her. She was just so striking. With her dark black coat and Scottie face. She was also so smart. As a puppy she knew the difference between all of her toys; she could open doors and she knew when you were talking about her.

For the past few years she has been living with my Mom. I was traveling in my job so much that I just couldn't take care of her. Whenever I would go to my Mom's she was always so happy to see me. She loved me so much and I her. I just feel like a piece of my heart has been ripped out of my chest. It's just so amazinig how animals can be such a huge part of your life. I know she is no longer in pain and that it had to be done, but when does your heart stop hurting so much?

Rest in Peace Baby Girl - Mommy loves you so much!
