A Tribute to "Boogie"

About 5 years ago Brent was on a business trip in Austin and called me on his way home to let me know that he had rescued a dog. I immediately wanted to know what kind it was, if she was cute, so on and so on. I'm sure he hesitated with his answer, because anyone that has met Boogie knows that she definitely has a face only a mother could love.
As soon as Brent walked in the door with her, I thought to myself "oh no, that thing is hideous". I convinced myself that I wouldn't get attached to her because she looked like she was practically dead anyway and probably wouldn't be around long. Well the years kept passing and she continued to stick around. Now several years later, I have grown to love that dog and all of her craziness.

Today we lost our special friend...sweet Sugar (affectionately known as Boogie) went to meet Jesus.

It's so strange to look at her bed and not see her shaggy grey face. I never thought I'd admit it, but I'm gonna miss hearing the non-stop pacing around the house with her obnoxiously long (and therefore loud) toenails or almost falling every time I was in the kitchen because she would be right under my feet just waiting for any little morsel of food to drop, or hearing her whine to go outside literally two seconds after she had just come in.

I know she's in a better place and back to her old spunky self, but I am sure gonna miss her.

I love you Boogie and am so blessed to have known you.
