Beau has been our faithful family companion since we adopted him in November 2009. He passed yesterday, April 27th, 2015.
In honor of his life, I'd like to share some songs my son and I made up for him. Some more original than others. But all are fun ways to remember my honorary guide dog and a valued member of our family.
BEAU BERRY:
Beau Berry Biscuit
Will eat all your Triscuits
and never give a single one back
Because Beau Bearry Biscuit
will eat all your Triscuits
and that's just all about that
He's Beau Berry

HE'S HUNGRY:
Beau's hungry
He's hungry
He's hungry, hungry, hungry
He's hungry
like a hippo
Because he's hungry, hungry, hungry
READY TO GO:
He's Beau
and he's got to go
He's Beau
and he's got to go
From the rooftops
shout it out
Boom, Bam-bam, Boom
Shout it out
It's so coincidental the episode "Thanks for the Memories" came out mere days before Beau's passing. But we know he's no longer dealing with all the conditions his body was quickly becoming overtaken by as a result of old age and a congenital, heart murmur.

Thanks so kindly for your thoughtful words and time to honor our beloved family's beloved friend.
Beau most definitely left a positive impact on those he had shared his life with. So I have no doubt he'll be waiting on the other side for more great times when our spirits reunite.

I know he is now in a much better place. It was a hard moment fueled by a very traumatic start of the day for the poor guy.
It was actually perfect timing when you called yesterday, too. I was really feeling lousy. But our conversation reminded me a lot of what Beau would've wanted. That being to move on happily and honor his memory by being the best friend, father, and husband I can be. :)

I'm sorry to hear about your dog. Pets become like a family members, and when they pass, the feeling of losing them is near the same as losing someone of your own blood. My father has a very stressful job. But my boxer Bruno always meets him at the door with kisses, which always brings a smile to his face. Bruno turned 8 on Saturday. It's going to be difficult for my father, when Bruno is not there to welcome him home.
RIP, Beau!
RIP, Beau!
Bruno is definitely the example on why dogs are truly our best friends. We love them and they love us. They have no expectations beyond being with you, enjoying some walks to see what's out there, and spending time with the families they are a part of.
Bruno is a great example of a therapy dog. He makes your dad's day a whole lot better. Just as I'm sure do yourself as you can. It's a family effort to make it through these tougher times with work and finances. So it makes me happy to know how Bruno, like our Beau, does so much to keep the family mentally happy and remembering the good things in life. :)

This is Bruno: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16200813/
He's the most well behaved dog that I have ever known. If the bathroom door is open, and you tell him, "Do you want a bath?" He'll jump into the bath tub and wait. While all of our other dogs have always fought, and would jump out. He just sits and drinks the water coming out of the faucet. XD

Bruno has a most lovable face. No wonder your dad is cheered to come home to it. I bet he has a most inviting, deep bark, too.
Wow! Not many dogs would willingly go into a bathroom. To know Bruno actually willingly jumps into the tub is an accomplishment in itself. And, like a cat, he'll drink from the faucet, too? Double wow!
You just got to love that personality. May he have many more wonderful years with you, your dad, and your family.
Thanks so much for sharing. :)

I know what you mean. Poor Beau was up in age and really not feeling well and only getting worse. The only solace I took in allowing him a final rest is knowing he wouldn't have to suffer.
It's so hard to let go. I'm sure, like we are now, you kept seeing Diamond all over the place. But the pain does pass with mourning. And, time, we move on remembering the good times and how much influence our canine companions had on us.

Oh that's so sad ;; I actually recently lost my dear cat of 18 years. It's been rough, he was my closest friend, strongest support, and has been around for most of my life. So it's been difficult to get used to life without him. I'm sure you feel similarly about your dog. I made a playlist of my own about my cat's life and death myself. And it's always nice to share happy memories. The happy memories I have are nearly endless.
It is wonderful how you were able to celebrate your beloved, feline companion's life through the arts. I bet it felt wonderful compiling all the songs and recalling all the wonderful memories.
It is my hope to, one day, homage Beau through my writing. Perhaps when I finally get to Project: Ezil?
It is really nice to hear from you again. You are someone who I miss a lot when I don't hear from. Hopefully you're hanging in there okay. Never forget you can always write, text, or call me if you need a friend. I'm here for you.

I talk about him every day. It almost feels like not a moment goes by where I don't think about him. The first couple days were rough, my body felt so heavy and I could hardly move, and wondered if there was a point in going on without him. I'm recovering, but it still feels so empty and lonely, and I don't know what to do with myself. I've found a new hobby to distract myself though. By the way, if you want I can link you to the playlist.
I'm sorry for not keeping in touch. I know you're dealing with a lot so I didn't want to burden you with my own problems. It's hard to think up stuff to say most of the time, I want to talk to you but I get so nervous about everything and don't want to bother you. Still, knowing that we're friends is comforting to me, and I keep up with your posts, even if I don't usually say anything.

I do believe I'll take you up on that playlist. Perhaps it will help me get some ideas on how to further honor our Beau. :)
Being apartment dwellers doesn't give us a yard to bury him in. So we had to have him cremated. :( The plus to this is that we are allowed to take his ashes. Our son, Ethan, wants them in his room. So perhaps I can use some of the playlist you have and work with Ethan to make a "Beau Playlist" for him to remember our family friend by?
Oh, Skye. Part of my coping with my situations is by sharing poetry and small notes. It is not meant in any way to detour you from reaching out to me. It honestly helps me more to be helpful to a dear friend, especially you, than to sit and write said poetry and such. So please know I am genuinely here to listen and talk to you about anything you wish to discuss. Please take no guilt in allowing me to share your burden because, for me, it feels right to be there for someone who has inspired me so much.

It is through the time and kindness wonderful friends, like you, have shared that I can say the blow has gotten less-and-less. Hearing from everyone reminds me to celebrate his life rather than focus on his loss. There are so many wonderful memories and those are what I wish to focus on as my family and I make it through the grieving process.
Thanks so much for your time and thoughtfulness. :)
