BOOMER SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED MR LUCKY INSTEAD OF BOOMER. HEART WORM, CAR ACCIDENTS, HEMATOMAS AND ALLERGIES COULDNT DAMPEN HIS SELF RELIANT SPIRIT HE WAS MY LADYS COMPANION FOR 15 PLUS YEARS AND MINE FOR THE LAST 2.5 YEARS HE WAS A STUBBORN LOVING MUTT AND WILL BE MISSED DEEPLY. WE CALLED HIM THE CANTANKEROUS OLD FART ON MANY OCCASIONS. He was a gift from God 2 days before Christmas, a small ball of fluff that won our hearts. His two sisters, Ruby Begonia and Muffin will miss him greatly. He taught them so many things. Boomer loved people and hot dogs, but he did have his dislikes also. He did not like the water,(rain or beach), cats or meter readers. When I took him to the beach he would try desperately to go to the dunes, a raindrop or a spray from the hose would send him scurrying for cover. He was very playful for many years, slowing down as we do with age. His sisters kept him pretty active but he could ignore them too or let them know not to mess with him. We will miss him very much and wish him well on his journey over the rainbow bridge. WE LOVE YOU, BOOMER!!!!
