  1. CandleImageBootsie gave her family almost 18 years of joy. She had so much energy and such good health for the majority of those years. I remember her last vet visit, a few months before passing, with the staff being amazed by her energy level compared to much younger dogs. She was a favorite at the vet office because of her unique personality. She was loved so much by her family and she returned this love in so many ways through her devotion and her personality. May her memory be a continual source of future blessing!

  2. The Boot gave us 17 years of love. She had a great personality. I can not tell you how much she was loved. She has 3 dads, 1 brother, and 1 sister. We are going/already are miss you. She had a bad heart, and the vet told us that she could pass away anytime. However, she lived 5 or 6 years after that. She also suffered from arthritis, lost her eye site. I love you baby. (The Boot). I will see you again one day. I love you, dad!
