SUMMARY: Photos
Boost's death was so sudden, and Tika's death was so recent before that, and my dad's illness was so bad-- I never did a photo retrospective of their lives. This isn't one, either, but I wanted to gather some photos for a smaller project. Here they be.

Championship in CPE!
I had to hustle to be anywhere near her at the end of a dogwalk.

Boost loved the snow. Anything in the snow.
Heterochromic eyes, like her mom's and many other relatives.

Atop Coyote Peak, one of our frequent hikes.
Boost's absolutely favorite toy of all time.
Sorry, but had to do this:
