I feel sad.

Come lay with me. - Samson

Right here (pat pat)

Do you see anything now?

Yep, that back tooth does look infected. - Buddy Love to Maisy

I kinda LIKE the way your breath smells though. Now...

clamp your jaws down around my head and let's scare the shit out of mom while she is driving.

I am so much taller than Sam.

I am really surprised I haven't noticed it before.- Buddy Love

Uh, oh! Someone shouldn't be on the leather ottoman.

At least it is not me. I have no idea who "Otto Man" even is....- Sam I am sweet

Yes, that story about the bad little dog is just riveting.

I am just resting my eyes, but I am listening. - Buddy Love

(Listening to my own snores soon I hope)

Two on two football

Squash your man Sam. Squash them like a bug. - Maisy

Girth beats mirth.

For Riley, Sam, Maisy, Harley, Neera, Lexie, Trooper (whitey black), and Minnie Mouse- my boxer babies.

Live Life, Love a Boxer !

He is the clown of the dog fraternity, canines answer to vaudeville. A laugh a minute, lives life to the fullest, a maximum velocity version of canine slapstick. But he is also a sympathetic soul, a shoulder to cry on, a confidante. He is all that is good in a dog. He is of course, The Boxer.

Hey YOU over there.

Come over and pet me.- Sam I am

Hey kids. Look this way for the camera.

Where mom?- Buddy, Sam, and Shanti

 Does anyone see her?  She must be hiding.

Yep, she's my mama.

Know how I can tell??- Sam

 Our tails match.

That song on my ipod always makes me sleepy...

Hope mom downloads some new funk for me tomorrow. - Sam I am

Gimme a beat. Who's that nasty girl?

Oh, mama dog sees something.

Get it mama dog! - Sam I am to Maisy Gray

One day I want to grow up and be just like her...

I swear someone is in there...

And they are about to go boating without me. - Sam I am

This just cannot happen.

I'm gonna lick my lips LL COOL J style...

Girls like it when you do that. - Sam I am sexy

Give it to me mama.

While Sam is not looking. - Maisy Moo Pig

(Keep looking that way Sam. I saw something over there)

I was only kidding

when I said "I will pee where I want, when I want". - Maisy Moo

Mom obviously cannot take a joke...

Silly human.

I don't need a pole to fish. - Beau

(Especially since you have a grocery store nearby...)

You wanna dance big boy?!

Then let's DANCE! - Ellen to Beau Beau

Make room up in heaven for one more angel...

OBIT

My Maisy passed away last night. She was 17 years and 1 week old.  She had bladder stones and her kidneys were failing so I let her leave this earth peacefully, gently, and with dignity at the hands of my trusted vet.  We did it at my home and her ashes will be spread in my back yard, and off the back of the boat into the lake where we lived together for 10 wonderful years. These are two places she loved.  She joins her brother-husband Harley in death and is running with him once again in some parts unknown.

Maisy was a purebred boxer, rescued from a kill shelter. She enjoyed cart rides, walks, boat rides, truck rides, snoring, sleeping on the couch, eating, passing gas, and love. She also had doggie dementia late in life which made her even cuter to me.  She was almost 7 when I rescued her, thus she lived a long full life. Up until the end she enjoyed her daily walks and golf cart rides, and never lost her gusto for food. She is survived by Sam (adopted son), Shanti, Buddy, and Riley (foster).

Maisy always wagged her nubbin and shook her butt for company. She was a crowd favorite due to her sweet loving nature. We will all miss you ole gal.  RIP my beloved Maisy Moo.  Thank you for enriching my life. Be free once again.

Maisy with Harley approximately 6-7 years ago.

( They were not supposed to be up on the couch but they always did what they wanted anyway- they had spunk)

Look what crawled into my kennel...

You are crowding me child. - Maisy in her "younger years".

 

Yes mom. I am still asleep.

It's my favorite thing and I am so good at it. - Maisy Moo

Good thoughts your way today baby.  Having surgery for bladder stones.

We do not look alike.

My breath is much stinkier than his.

And for that I am thankful.

Coming mom.

I got this. - Ri Ri (Riley- up for adoption)

If you want me to listen...

you will have to change that tone missy - Buddy Love

You really love me the best...

don't cha mom?- Sam I am

Shanti said you don't love me at all.

AROO! I love this woman.

Give me a chance for some lubbins too...- Buddy Love

Psst. Come untie me.

No one is looking and let's face it. I am not getting any younger.

Sometimes I wonder what my girl is thinking about when she spoons my butt.

Then I realize I like it so it doesn't really matter. - Sam I am

I smell fishy water Buddy.

We must be near the lake.  Keep looking and bark if you find water.  - Maisy Moo

Truly the blind leading the half blind....

You better move Riley.

The food door is about to open for breakfast. - Sammy Boy

I hope I get treats with my meal this time.- Buddy
