The story of Boomer is one of love, pure and simple. He was “that dog” for me…what some people refer to as a “heart dog”. Boomer was where I was. He and I were stuck like glue. He would wake from a dead sleep to sit up and make sure I was still next to him, then fall immediately back to sleep once he knew his world was good. His eyes looked into my soul. He was always happy, unless he was at the veterinary hospital with me. Then he was miserable. He would whine and bark and hit every nerve and ear drum within the building. When his life came to its end point, he was lucky to spend his final moments at home, where he was comfortable, with the family that loved him dearly. This is the inspiration for Boomer’s Love. An in-home euthanasia service for your beloved pet.
