Happy memories....

Bukra (or Boo)
was my companion for many walks whilst my daughter and grandson were living nearer to me. Whilst they were working and at school, together with my Grandson, she would come to stay with me. We spent many happy hours together walking and discovering the local areas; we were often in Bushy Park and on Esher Common.

Sadly Boo passed away on Saturday morning - she's not been well for a while, and has left a considerable gap in all our lives - thinking of S & J.

So just want to say "thank you" Boo for all the happy times we had together and being such a great companion!

It's so hard to find the right words at such a sad time as this Tricia. But from me,you will always have those fond memories to keep of her, and she will never be forgotten.

Best regards.

It is a terrible thing to lose a companion but worse probably to leave one. Give it a while and find another puppy. They can be a pain but are great company. Commiserations from Moll, Alf and Adrian.

I'm sorry for your loss Tricia and wish you the best. Big hug from Iceland.

I'm sorry to hear that Tricia. Dogs are such wonderful companions; I'm sure the very happy memories will stay with you forever.
She was a beauty.

Commiserations to you all from Bobby and self Tricia. They do leave a large gap. Have been through that a couple of time these past few years.

Glo said...

Looks like a very lovely pet, and she will be sorely missed, I'm sure. Sounds like you all shared some wonderful times together. The unconditional love dogs share is very special ~ their soft eyes and wagging tails show what sweet souls they have. May she rest in peace. Condolences to you and your family.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I really like dogs and feel they're such wonderful companions. Boomer and Gary

Tricia Ryder said...

Pete ....thank you - hugs always help.

Adrian, Moll &Alf. thank you. I think a new puppy won't be a possibility as both my daughter and grandson are now out all day... but one day hopefully.

Paul - thank you - you've said the right thing as usual. Wonderful memories and I'll always know her favourite walks :D

Tricia Ryder said...

Keith - you're so right about their being such good companions; and yeah - def a beauty. When I stopped to take pictures she would sit/lie down just as in the picture as if to say "here we go again!" lol

John - thanks to you and Bobby. It's always a wrench isn't it!

Glo - Thank you - she was a wonderful family dog and loads of fun!

Hi Gary (and Boomer) and thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. Dogs are great companions definitely.
