A picture from the first week we owned Bo ~ 8 months
One of his favorite spots in the house, looking out the window and sunbathing on the floor beneath the window
A recent picture of Bo from November ~ 7 yrs old
I found Bo dead Saturday evening after we returned home from spending the afternoon at a church event. Rob and Dallas had just played football with Bo in the backyard fours hours earlier. He had turned the corner with the Blastomycosis. He had gained back about 10 lbs. His blasto antigen level had dropped to a readable value on the scale, although still high, he was still on medication. His outward symptoms were all gone. Rob thinks he had a heart attack and went quickly, and that is reassuring to me.
Bo was a great dog. He loved our kids, and loved other kids even more. He rarely barked. He was loyal. His favorite activities were retrieving a football, eating sticks and chasing squirrels. He loved getting treats from the kids and was great at cleaning up the floor. I liked that he didn't lick and he didn't beg (although he would try to stare the food out of you!) I always wondered what he was dreaming about, he was so animated when sleeping. We were so thankful for the wonderful time he was apart of our family.

I am so sorry to hear about Bo. Ellen's dog died while we were on vacation, your dad lost his dog. Now they are all in dog heaven playing together.
So sorry for your loss! Dallas told me in Sunday School that Bo had died. I had no idea it was so recent. A 4 year old's concept of time is pretty fuzzy..
