Remembering Shubert

I had mentioned in my last entry that I had a new plan to get my blog going again. I came up with the idea because for years on the BML our great friend Dale would post photos on his Friends page so we could admire each other's Boxers. With Dale's failing health I thought, why not? I could do this. So here we go.

The first entry is bittersweet because it is to commemorate one of the members of our Boxer family that has passed. That's the bitter, the sweet is Shubert was just a month shy of her 16th birthday and that's something almost unheard of for a Boxer. Shubert had been with Dianne Nelson in Alaska for about the last six years, since the passing of our friend Susan Barnes and was the last of Susan's "galz". Dianne sent me the following photos to share.

In December Dianne and Shubert participated in a skit at a talent show. Dianne is the one in the Dalmation suit.

Shubert right before they went on stage. She is wearing her Fido Fleece and a big red bow on her collar. She got to be so loving to everyone where as before Susan got her she was afraid of everyone and everything.

And this last shot is to let all the rest of us know what we're missing, not being in Alaska.

That lump of snow in the middle? That's Dianne's truck.
