Bye Bye Boston

Boston, my neighbour's miniature pinscher died on Wednesday 20 April 2011early morning.  He is being buried in my neighbour's front yard. He was close to 14 years.  After having suffered a coughing illness for 1 1/2 years he finally bade goodbye.  The flowers were from my garden.

Of course neighbour is heartbroken and mentioned that she will never have another dog again but I told her that life goes on and she should have another one since she lives alone.

Like all small doggies, Boston had the loudest bark.  Good as a ''guard" dog in terms of noise but sometimes his continuous barking was irritating.  He  barked non stop at anyone who passed by but when the person moved towards him, he would run away and cowered in a corner!

Now that Boston is gone, life is not as quiet as one might think.  We have a bigger replacement version in the form of Max, our Labrador who behaves exactly like Boston.  We have to lock him up whenever he makes too much noise.
