Remembered by Missy & Kirby Howard

When they say dog is man's best friend, that is 100% true. Dogs are the best companions and friends. They are therapeutic, selfless, and love unconditionally. They can get us through life's difficult moments and boy did Boomerang "Boomer" see our family through some difficult moments. He filled a void for my mom and Dad in 2007 when they drove to Pennsylvania to pick him up as a puppy after their recent loss of their two other dogs. Then, less than 3 years after adding him to the family, he helped all of us through the time of losing my Mom. For the next 9 years he was the most loyal, protective, loving buddy for my Dad who was navigating life without his better half. In 2019 when we moved my Dad into assisted living, Boomer moved in with us and was a great buddy for our Baxter. Then, we lost Baxter in October 2021 and Boomer was there for us, providing much-needed comfort.At almost 16 years old, Boomer was getting tired and was dealing with some health issues that weren't getting any better. Because he was so stoic we didn't know for sure what was wrong, but knew he just wasn't acting himself. As hard as it was to decide that it "was time," I know in my heart we did the right thing. The kisses he gave us right before we said goodbye to him gave us the confirmation that he was going to be ok.We will miss his sweet face, his playfulness, his bossiness, his protection and will miss him following me and Emmy around (she was his girl). We will miss how he used to bite at the vacuum, open doors with his nose so he could be in the same room with us. How he would go grab a toy to show off when someone would come visit. We miss the times when he still lived with my dad and how he would go ripping through the yard after a squirrel and bark like crazy at it! We will miss how he used to bark fiercely at objects that he wasn't sure what they were like the patio heater, toy train set, etc.Boomer, you will forever be in our hearts and we love you and miss you so, so much. We're finding comfort knowing you're back with mom and dad and Baxter. Rest in peace Boomey (June 1, 2007 - 3/23/2023) - until we see you again.
