About Me
- Janiece
- I am a Hot Chick living in Castle Rock, CO with my fabulous family. We have a rescue dog named "Jackson," and she's a Basenji/Shepherd mix. She's something of a head case, but we love her. I'm a U.S. Navy vet, and I currently work as an Enterprise Solutions Architect, specializing in VoIP and multimedia contact center design. I care about social justice, libraries, science, the U.S. Constitution and the military. I'm a tax and spend liberal in a largely red county, but I try not to be stabby about it. I knit for charity. Stupidity, cupidity and wanton assholery piss me off, and I'm more than a little soft when it comes to dogs and those who serve others. I blog about whatever I feel like. I use foul language, so if that sort of thing offends you, feel free to fuck off now - if I'm unwilling to clean up my language for my fabulous Great Auntie Margie, I'm unlikely to do so for you. Newcomers are welcome here, especially those who disagree with me, but trolling and spamming will be met with the Shovel of Doom™.

I share your sorrow and pain. Boogie was a good boy and brought joy to your friends as well.
I'm so sorry for your loss. He's such a beautiful dog.
Well said, Stacey. Absolutely true.
Much love to you, the SmartMan and the HotDaughter and HotMom.
My mother sends her love to you as well.

Working and living on a farm, I have been in your spot many times. I believe the greatest honor we have in our lives as pet caretakers is letting them live, and leave, their lives with happiness and dignity. Hugs to you and your family as you struggle in this difficult time.
Oh, I'm so very sorry to hear that this day has finally arrived. Knowing it was coming doesn't make it any easier, I know.
I will be keeping you in your family in my thoughts at this difficult time.
Janiece, I am so very sorry for your loss of Boogie. :-(
Janiece, I am so, so sorry. You continue to be in my thoughts. Wishing you peace.
Group hug. Will always remember his button eyes and how he loved to wipe his wet beard on me after a cold drink...
Janiece, I am so, so sorry. Boogie was a very good boy and was very lucky to have you and your family as his humans.
Love and hugs and support to all of you, my dear friend.
Janiece, I am so sorry that Boogie is gone. He was such a good-looking boy and I know he brought so much joy into your life. My sympathies to you and your family.
He could always count on you to do the right thing.
My sorrow on your loss
Word fail.

Thank you all for the sympathy wishes. We had 11 great years of his antics and unconditional love. I can only hope that we enriched his life as much as he enriched ours.
Thank you all again,
Terry Comer (aka Janiece's SmartMan)
Janiece and Terry, I'm so sorry.
I'm so very sorry that your Boogie is gone.
And thankful that you had 11 years with the Best Dog In The World (tm).
Dr. Phil
So sorry to hear this. Peace to you and yours.
I am so very sorry.
My heart breaks for all of you, Boogie was such a great part of your lives. I have no answer to why we outlive them, I only know that we usually do. The love continues and our hearts will always break at every thought of them, our dear and beloved animal companions. Boogie was so very loved and enjoyed a life so well loved, he loved you like that too. Still, and all, my heart is breaking for you all tonight.Good dog, good life, good love. Great saddness.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry to hear this. I have always looked forward to your updates as he grew older, his triumphs and setbacks. I konw how much he meant to you, and it did you credit. May the happy memories outshine the pain for you soon.
So sorry, Janiece. "Courage" from France.
I'm late to hearing--hope you're okay, and my best to you and the Smart Man, Janiece.
He was a good boy, and I loved following his adventures. My sympathies to you and Terry and the rest on losing a cherished member of the family.
I'm so sorry to read this. It's never easy, even if it's expected--I have been there myself recently.
Boogie was such a lovely, handsome dog, and a wonderful companion. My heart goes out to you and your family.
So sorry to read this but knowing he had a charmed life with you and your family.
Your life was better because you shared it with him. His too.
I'm so sorry for your loss. The grief will ease over time, but you'll always remember him and he'll remain part of your life, even if you get and love another dog.
Ask me how I know.
In memory of Nora, the notorious soft-coated Giant Schnauzer mudqueen, Oct 12 1997 - Jan 9 2009
I am so sorry for your loss.
Dogs are companions in a way that humans can't be. I believe that to have such a relationship is a great accomplishment in this life. I am sure that Boogie cherished his relationship and life with you.
Take care of yourself and family and know that you are in our thoughts.
