This tribute to Bogart is so beautiful and moving, Dee. I believe you shared this piece with me when I wrote about my dog, Tala, a few months back. I was celebrating her gotcha day and telling her story. Since then we had to let our first boy, Bodhi, go. So the pain of taking on their suffering and making the decisions to let them go (so they don’t have to suffer) is something very raw in my heart at this moment. In fact, we are spreading Bodhi’s ashes next week at his favorite spot in NorCal. Thank you for sharing Bogart’s story. He was clearly a soul dog and a special being that should never be forgotten. I hope he’s somewhere beautiful chasing his Penn balls in the snow as I write this!
Such a beautiful tribute to Bogey. I firmly believe dogs are sent to us to teach us about what really matters. I have a rescue named Stella (11 years old). She’s been with me since she was a pup. I see her slowing down and I dread the day I have to say so long.
Like Bogey did with you, Stella picked me/rescued me. Not the other way around. And I swear she is in sync with me more than any human in my life. Bogey licking your face that night, like that - she sensed it all. No doubt.
That’s a beautiful story!!! Bogey and Pistol Pete....I love that duo!!! I’m certain dogs come from heaven to take care of us in emotional and spiritual ways. I felt the pain as you described his final days. I’m sorry you had to go through that but I these friends are so worth it. Best of luck with Oliver and the new crew!!
On a side note; I lived in Silverthorn and then Leadville from 87-91. I worked at Copper Mtn.

Thank you so much Troy! I’m sure Bogart and Bodhi are running together in tall grass 🙏❤️
I hope so too! Thank you.
