Been Another While

It has been awhile, again, since I was here, writing about my buddy Bobo.  But, it is possible, with Bobo being the topic of this blog, to start almost anywhere.  So, in this writing I will begin at the very beginning. My aunt found Bobo wandering in a field. She always had canned food available…

Bobo’s Chow

It has been awhile since I have posted in Big Dog Bobo.  Since then, I have thought a lot about Bobo and about how Bobo might have lived his life had he been in different circumstances.  While I cannot image Bobo being in bad circumstances he could have been born someplace where he did not…

Bobo Back Again

Bobo is back again.  Yes, Bobo has been revived.  Not that Bobo was ever far away. My Aunt always seemed to have a fondness for Bobo that she didn't have for some of  the other dogs in her collection.  Bobo didn't mind, he loved being at least one of the favorites. I remember, on more…

Bobo’s Excursion To The Living Room

I remember when Bobo decided to come inside.   My aunt did not let him in, but I left the sliding doors open once and Bobo took the opportunity to browse inside her house.  My aunt was in the back of the house and did not see him.  I knew he went inside, but to me…

Bobo’s Lair

  I am not sure why, but Bobo loved to lay in the sun on my Aunt's deck.  The deck was thick concrete and I doubt that it got real hot, but Bobo obviously thought it was ideal.  One of the games I played when I was a child was to try and sneak up…

Oh, But Bobo Would Love It

My aunt's house had a side yard that was surrounded on three sides by fencing and on the fourth side by her house.  There were steps where one could go down into the side yard.  When I would visit my aunt, Bobo would frequently stop, take the bowing position, and they bark at me as…

Ubiquitious Dogs and People Some Favored

There were always two things that you could depend on to be at my aunt's house.   Dogs were everywhere and frequently there were kids around. Those kids were my cousins and we all have fond memories of my wonderful aunt and her love for us. My aunt loved Bobo very much, as she did all…

Bobo and The Big Bald Hill

     From the patio of my aunt's house I could see a big bald hill.   It was always amazing because I did not know exactly were it was.   My aunt's house was on one of the highest hills in the area.  At some point I estimated that one could see close to fourteen miles from…

When I Met Bobo

Bobo was a friend of mine.   I do not remember what age I was when we met, but I think I was around four years old.  Bobo belonged to my aunt.  From my perspective as a four year old boy, he was a gigantic dog.  I don't know if it is because of Bobo's influence…
