Still Winning

I confess, I have my favourite blog subjects and today I get to share one of them again, Ms Jordyn.

This is a photo of Jordyn and her buddy Stanley going Best Junior Handler at the Greater Humble Kennel Club Sunday Oct 6,2013. Honey is very proud of them both.

I love Jordyn's smile and the feathers in her hair.

 

Healing a Heart

It's the way of Boxers. When you lose one the time comes when you need another to help finishing the healing and maybe as a tribute to those who have gone before. Such was the case with Bella's mom and she has now adopted a petite lady by the name of Ruby.

Ruby has settled in to her new home and is enjoying life.

We stopped at a friend's house on the way home from being adopted and she took this picture.  Ruby was perfect in the car.

Enjoying one of her fav things to do, the boxer scootch!

She does not know how to play with toys but does enjoy the chew bones.

In Memory - Beautiful Bella

When someone asks me to do a memorial blog for their Boxer I will always say yes but I ask them to write it because they know the story best.

I lost Bella on Sept. 16th.  I took her to a specialist on the 13th for an ultrasound which revealed a   huge tumor.  I brought her home for the weekend knowing that it would probably be our last time together.  On the 16th our vet started surgery and the tumor was so invasive the kindest thing I could do was release her from her suffering and send her to the bridge.  Even if he had been able to remove the tumor she would only have had a short time and it would have been pain filled and miserable for her.  When I dropped her off at the vet I think she knew it would be the last time she would see me.  When the tech took her leash Bella kept coming back to me which was very unusual for her she was always happy to see everyone at the vets office.  I kept giving her kisses and telling her I loved her.  I always called her my angel dog as she rescued me as much as I rescued her.  I miss her so very much, she took a huge piece of my heart with her.  She was truly my Heart dog.

Bella, my beautiful girl, I was so blessed to have you in my life for 5 years.
