Farewell To A Friend
The Boxer Mailing List has been around for a long time. I have been on it for almost 16 years and yet I could almost be considered a newbie. Many long lasting friendships have been forged thanks to our little internet list. My favourite photo of the Brindle and I is one taken by my co-admin when she visited us in Europe.
Recently we lost one of our members. Her passing was sudden and quite unexpected. Another member sent me the following about a quilt she made and sent to Jackie's family.
*****
Jackie was my best friend, we met on the BML. Although we never met in person we talked on the phone two or three times a day, mostly about our dogs. We became very good friends, like sisters.
She was always there to talk or cheer me up on good and bad days. She understood when most people would not. We discussed how her dogs had gotten sprayed by a skunk (several times) and how Lakota would stare up in the sky at airplanes when they flew over. We talked about Kera (the outside dog) and Shilo (her Boxer). I wanted to give Jackie something from my heart so I started making this quilt four months ago. I made each dog from the description she told me of them while on the phone. I had never seen them or pictures of them. She mentioned to me one time that she would have liked to have her mother's quilt. That's why I decided to make this for her.
I am sorry she was never able to see the quilt or know of my surprise for her. However maybe someway or somehow she will know and that every stitch came from my heart.

More Dozer
Here are some more photos sent in by Dozer's new "mom".
*****
Here are some pics of Dozer playing with his littermate - our friend's puppy, Boots. They live nearby and had the forethought to tire Dozer out before his 4+ hour car ride! Our daughter and our granddaughter came over to meet Dozer too.
I didn't realize till that day that his breeder-mom had wanted to
keep Dozer, it just wasn't working out with Dozer's real mom. It was
too hard for Nicole to watch us leave with Dozer ....
