Working with animals is the most rewarding career, with fabulous highs and devastating lows. Today has been one of the lowest because we lost one of our own. Boomer has been with us from the start. He was the exception that proved every single rule! He loved without boundaries, when he decided to love, and I was so fortunate to be on his list! We're not supposed to have favorites, but this stubborn little man wormed his way under our skin and into our hearts, with his determined bark and flashy belly bands, he would examine every newcomer as they arrived. They usually all met with his acceptance, and boy-oh-boy, did the girls love Boom! This month brings heartbreaking endings, but we weren't prepared to say our final goodbye to our main man Boom. Fly high, and don't let the big dogs push you around, just like here on earth! R.I.P. Boomer 💗💙💔🐾🐾🐾 Darla Elder Jason Elder
Just to clarify, John and I were lucky enough to be Boomer's second family when his real family traveled or needed him someplace safe while they had life happening. I love all of our guests, but Boomer was truly special and one of a kind! 💔
