Bogey, You're the Best!

by Connie Humston
(Johnson City, TN)

Bogey was a shelter puppy. My husband came across this little bundle of good fortune in 1994. On Jan. 27, 2009, as he drifted from this life into the next, we were there holding him and telling him how much we loved him and that he was the best dog ever. He loved to hear that and we know he must have known how much we loved him.

He was smart, funny, playful and so full of life and energy. We will never ever forget you Bogey, and we will miss you forever.

This writing is in memory of Bogey and dedicated to his family, who will never forget the "once in a lifetime" dog who shared and enriched our lives for 14 short years.

It is also dedicated to all the animals who will never know the love or feel the touch of a human, and to our Appalachian Animal Hospital friends for their exceptional kindness, care and concern for Bogey and us for 14 years.
