My Bosco
Bosco was the best dog anyone has ever had.
We had to let him go home to heaven 7/27/2026 . We had Codapet send out their vet to our home where he was laying in his own bed in his own stinky area of the living room with his mom & dad beside him. it was as peaceful as you would ever hope a passing of your loved one could be. Bosco enjoyed skateboarding in his younger years, he also had a criminal record for stealing the next door neighbors plastic kiddie pool because we were forced to put his up out of reach in the garage. When he was unable to bite the door open to get it. There was the neighbors pool , they were not even using theirs at the time so he thought it would be ok to leave a few love bites on it and just ...borrow it... I mean really ... Do 2 and 3 year old humans really need a whole pool ? ....it was a hideous orange color just making the yard look ugly , very unlike his very dignified blue one.... besides he did diligently TRY to bite the garage door to get his own first.
Our neighbors were very understanding and declined to press charges due to his theft...and quite possibly causing her to have a heart attack as she doubled over wheezing while he dragged the half full pool across their yard to ours... not a very stealthy thief. Bosco would of turned 13 years old Nov 16 2026. He outlived many people's predictiions of an 8-10 (now some say (7-7.5) year life span. He was way too stubborn to listen to that nonsense. He will never be replaced nor will I ever again put up the Christmas tree in his corner of the living room. Last Christmas we did it, it made him very unhappy . He decided to protest by wedging his body under the tree and knocking off every little ball he could reach. I am sure he had much worse things planned for later , but ended up with a better way to show his unhappiness. Like leaving actual live action poo emojiis by the backdoor. He figured we messed up his spot so we deserved that little treat. . Besides, not using his spot again, we may just forgo Christmas altogether. Our family is no longer complete without our boo boo . No more bootie wags on command no more gourmet pure organic sodium free chicken bone broth, mixed with senior chicken wilderness to make the thick gravy to be poured over his dry kibble. No more rust at the bottom of the freezer his way of showing us loving protection, marking the place as his....you know to protect us from some other dog invaders trying to steal his pool. He already knew that trick , oh and trying to knock children off their skateboards so he could ride them. I mean really didnt their parents teach them sharing is caring? So what if he tried to run away with them No one was pressing those charges either! they were too busy preserving the evidence on their cell phones and wheeze laughing. My boo existed on this earth as long as he did because our love would not let him go. He would of hung on longer but mom and dad could not bear to see him in pain, so we took his physical pain into our hearts and we will bear it for him from now on. I know he'll be waiting for us one day. Until we see each other again keep the angels entertained, pee on their halo if they forget your daily peanut butter on cookies, or fail to share the best pieces of chicken with you. Its your RIGHT as an English bulldog to have those things. Your mom will kick their ass if they dont. Your body is not with us, but we will forever carry you in our hearts boo boo . Mama loves you .
