Was gonna go in to high school yesterday to jam with kids and i noticed my troop didn’t eat his pill in scrambled eggs and he was hacking hard trouble breathing the meds I give him and Mr big paws to take their vetprofin for arthritis. Then tried to give him his pill in peanut butter bread nope I felt his stomach he was bloated I called boys at their jobs at grocery store you got to come and help me.
We loaded him in 18 pathfinder folded the one seat down so we could love him as he rode in the back. Shit hold on had to run in and get a pillow for trooper to rest his head on stress and high strung emotions.
He passed in the exam table not alone we were with him 18 was looking into his eyes he peed his bladder released they were prepping him for blood work and x rays.
This morning we’re laughing joking saying Boog he probably at least pissed twice on the rainbow bridge and then he saw your mom he probably said lady where have you been I’ve missed you. WTB what the biscuits here I thought man lost you.
Boog came into this world 5/3/09 hooked up with boy 7/10/09 put his puppy ass down in the kitchen that first day and it was on. We always said his theme song was the Scorpions rock you like a hurricane that day he was on the loose Zooming oh look I have a KAT I will chase you and maul you Kat.
His choice of career was being a boog totally in love with his boy from the go and also a veteran of many contacts in backyard with skunks seriously a serial killer level of skunk murders many baths yet he do it again and again.
Besides being in solid loving relationship with his pack especially boy ,although with Nanna my wife’s mother they had a love to you aggravate the shit out of me dog Nannas words many times . Boog was like hey you’re my Nanna I love you yet couple times I left a load in the guest room was just my way of saying shouldn’t you be going home soon.
Boogs education was he was a failed candidate of obedience training at the parent teacher dog training meeting when he was being suspended she said he needs in house one on one training I can do it I have a program of two to three weeks are you both interested.
In the car on way home mister is leaning on my wife his body between the seats he was probably then eighteen months old I love you lady. I told Liz I’m not comfortable with the shock collar in house program so boog said hey I’ll obedience train myself I’m a stable genius.
Some of his more memorable achievements which he had many are eating Nanas birthday cake that Liz baked eating a pan of brownies for boys first grade birthday party oh eating a whole pizza at maybe seven months ooh I smell pizza. Chairs were not pushed in on dining room table it was gone.
Oh here is a memory we’re jamming maybe three four years ago and we’re running amps through surge protector. And he shocks himself we didn’t know why at first he cried then did it again upon investigation Boy discovers piece of hot dog bun on surge protector under amp cords.
He was an original we always would say if Mr Big paws the golden retriever best boy was human he would be a Astro physicist.
Then the Boog if he were human either John Belushi character from animal house or straight Danny Devitos character Frank from tv show it’s alway sunny in Philadelphia and by default that made boy Charlie Kelley they were a inseparable pair.
In closing 18 picked out a nice urn for mister will put him next to Liz yea lots of tears yesterday but mister would not want us to sad although we’re gonna miss him.

Gentle crossing of the Rainbow Bridge, Boog!
He has left you with a wealth of great memories. Take care of you! 
And it was obvious how much he was loved. We will miss him, too.
He was a character.
A blazing spirit like that will not be silenced!!! Something gets knocked over? It was him. Boog will always be there letting you know he's there.
I will miss Boog stories. That boy was so loved.
Rest easy Boog!
But you are dealing with it well. Of course he will be missed but he was a happy dog with a great family and will not be forgotten in your hearts and ours. I will miss the tales of his adventures.
Hugs to you and the boys and canine siblings.
When some proud Son of Man returns to Earth,
Unknown to Glory but upheld by Birth,
The sculptor's art exhausts the pomp of woe,
And storied urns record who rests below:
When all is done, upon the Tomb is seen
Not what he was, but what he should have been.
But the poor Dog, in life the firmest friend,
The first to welcome, foremost to defend,
Whose honest heart is still his Master's own,
Who labours, fights, lives, breathes for him alone,
Unhonour'd falls, unnotic'd all his worth,
Deny'd in heaven the Soul he held on earth:
While man, vain insect! hopes to be forgiven,
And claims himself a sole exclusive heaven.
Oh man! thou feeble tenant of an hour,
Debas'd by slavery, or corrupt by power,
Who knows thee well, must quit thee with disgust,
Degraded mass of animated dust!
Thy love is lust, thy friendship all a cheat,
Thy tongue hypocrisy, thy heart deceit!
By nature vile, ennobled but by name,
Each kindred brute might bid thee blush for shame.
Ye! who behold perchance this simple urn,
Pass on, it honors none you wish to mourn.
To mark a friend's remains these stones arise;
I never knew but one—and here he lies.

I am so sorry to hear this sad news, but your heart is full of happy memories of him that you will carry for the rest of your life.
Gentle journey, Boog. We all loved you and will miss you.
Safe passage, big guy.
Thank you for writing all your entertaining Boog stories, Pup. I feel like he’s been a part of our family from reading them.
Peace to everyone
Wonderful tribute to a very good boyo.
And your loves and losses. Keep music in your soul and keep playing. It will use up your mind for a bit and comfort your soul.
Boog will be missed by all of us

... by a creek that you guys shared and you will feel the spirit of your lab
friend with you and his spirit will warm you like a towel right from fresh
from the dryer.
His spirit shines through it, along with your sadness.
Peace, peace, peace…
My eyes are wet. Like everyone here, I have loved your tales about the Boog. I am so very sorry for your losses. I can only send many hugs to you and your family. Much love and honor to the Boog, for the joy and laughter that he brought to your family.
So sorry for your loss. 💔 🐾
I know he lived a happy & full life.
The Boog is much beloved here and your eulogy along with the many stories will live on, bringing abundant laughter and tears.
Goodbye, sweet doggie!
You are loved by many and will be greatly missed.
dammitt, got something in my eye. Hugs to you and the family, he had a great life with you all and was so lucky 
That's helped me ease up on myself a little whenever I think of where mine are.
Wonderful eulogy you've written for him here, Duncanpup. Thanks, and many hugs.
So sorry for your loss mate, and Godspeed to the legendary Boog.
...Mrs. Hatrack here, taking control of Hatrack's account for a few minutes.
There are so many people here on DU who love you and your (human and furry) family, even though we've never met you and probably never will. I'm so sorry you lost Boog, but so glad you had him in your life. He sounds like an absolute joy and maniac, in the best way. 
I kinda think that Boog needed to stick around for a while to comfort you and your family after Liz passed away, but then he needed to go be with her since he loved her so much. So glad you will put his ashes next to her so he can continue to keep you all connected and so you all can continue to enjoy the memories and funny and heartwarming stories they both were part of.
You and your family gave him a wonderful life, full of love, and you wrote a lovely tribute to him. He was lucky to have you as his hoo-mans.
Love and hugs to you, Duncanpup!
