Tunsafun Boxers Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 (edited) To my darling Boffa. Some 7 years ago you came into our life from the RSPCA. You were skinny and dirty, but you smiled the minute you saw us. We went for a quick walk behind the adoption pens and you strutted your stuff. You quickly made friends with the kids and us, and seemed very disappointed when we took you back to the pen. You must have thought we were leaving you. Little did you know that as soon as we put you back in the pen, we went up to the office and paid for your adoption. The kids were disappointed that we didn't get to take you home straight away, and quite frankly, so was I. You had to stay so that you could be desexed, and you seemed a little unimpressed with this, but didn't whimper. We picked you up the next morning, and on the way home we promised that you would never spend another day in a pound. You settled into our house really well, and took up residence on the couch within minutes. we had a bit of an argument over who actually owned the couch, and you were content to sleep in the arm chair. For many years, you played with the kids, chased possums and the torch light. you taught many puppies the ways of the world, and tolerated them hanging off all parts of your body. You protected your family and property fiercely, including any other dogs we brought onto the property. you always loved a ride in the car and loved the sound of us picking up the keys. you excelled in obedience training, and were happy to try new tricks, including some that you thought pretty silly, but you'd give it a go just to see us smile. In your last days, you spent a lot of time sleeping in your arm chair, but were always ready to have a play. Rest In Peace old man, you will forever be missed and loved in our hearts. Thankyou for all the love that you gave us, and I just hope that we made you as happy as you made us.

Bokezu Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 How sad for you Tunsa, he looked like a lovely man, a lovely tribute. RIP Boffa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunsafun Boxers Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 Thankyou Portia. I cant believe how much we miss him, and the other dogs. Pippa wont stop looking for him, and cooper is whimpering lots, so they are both on the couch getting cuddles from everyone. Im still crying, which I'm sure will go on for a while. I am so thankful that we had so many fantastic years with the boy, and he got a second chance on life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petal Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 What a caring account of how much Boffa gave you and how much he appreciated the loving home you and the family gave him - he was a fortunate boy. Snuggle up with your others and know you did right by your boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tunsafun Boxers Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 Thankyou all for your kind words and thoughts. We miss Boffa dearly, and the house seems empty without him. The other dogs are missing him too, especially Cooper and Pippa who are constantly looking for him. Cuddles for them seems to help. Thankyou once again Jenna & The Tunsafun Clan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
