BoBo by Mary Hanks / Mary

BoBo came into my life when I was 2 years old. So I do not remember all of the times we had together when he was a puppy. Growing up Bo was ALWAYS there for me and I could always count on him to love me unconditionally and protect me. Bo was the kind of dog you would look at and love no matter what he did or how mad he could make you. Never once in my life did he try to hurt me, but always tried to make me happy.

He was a loving dog, and my mom, dad and I all considered him part of our family. In a way he was like a brother to me. We always did everything together. We would take walks, play together, watch movies, and I would even talk to him, it always seemed as though he would listen to me. As he got older he had to have surgery, to amputate his toe, that was something that took a lot of patients, but all worth it in the end. As his 13th birthday came I knew in my heart that he would not be here forever, but I had hope.

About four months later. It was so sudden and unexpected. He had been having problems with his legs and just didn’t seem to be “himself”, but nevertheless i never thought about the end. We went away for one weekend and he was at the vet. The day we went to pick him up they said that it was time to put him to sleep. I was in shock, and cried and cried. I can never explain the feeling inside. It’s like I’m loosing a part of me that I’ve had all my life. It was so hard. Now it’s been a day. He always used to sit in the office, so whenever I open the door I expect to see him there smiling, looking up at me with love. BoBo will truly be missed.

 

I love you my baby Bo,
BoBo
