Digger Dan had to put his 4 1/2 year old BEST FRIEND 'BO' to sleep today..Bo has shown signs lately of liking to nip at bicycle and motorcycle riders..just after we got hame from Moab, Bo was let out of the house and promptly went after a young lady passing by on a bicycle...he embedded his canines into her thigh...thus the Sheriff's dept. was called..and Bo was placed in quarantine for rabies evaluation..but...being the Dog that he is, he was not happy being isolated,(He was always at Digger's side and free to roam) so he commenced to mutilate the chain link cage he was in at the vet's...and show his anger to anyone who got near..so bad that the employees were afraid to approach him for feeding, etc. so the Vet called Digger and the decision was made to put him down...Digger had a very bad day today and misses his pal very much. Unfortunately, Bo did not complete the quarantine period so the vet has to send his head to Boise for a final rabies examination...Like Digger said.."I hate to lose him, but I can not afford another incident like this, luckily, the victom has been very nice and did not want me to put Bo down" Next trail ride will sure be different without Bo there to keep tracl of Digger!! Farewell Bozer...
