I’m off to pick up the remains of the real BooMan. Now I just have to figure out what to do with them. I can give him no better eulogy than Lord Byron gave his Newfoundland.
Near this spot
Are deposited the Remains of one
Who possessed Beauty without Vanity,
Strength without Insolence,
Courage without Ferocity,
And all the Virtues of Man without his Vices.
This Praise, which would be unmeaning Flattery
If inscribed over human ashes,
Is but a just tribute to the Memory of
BOATSWAIN, a DOG
