New puppy inbound! We lost our Boxer, Meta 10 weeks ago. We had her since she was 8 weeks old and was a wonderful dog. Meta came from a buddy of mine that bred Boxers. She was the runt of her litter and I fell for her hard. She was a bit over 11 years old and her heart was failing and got so big it was taking over most of her chest cavity and shutting everything else down. We knew going into a life with Meta that Boxers are not long lived dogs. But man o man did the time pass fast. Meta's passing has ripped a hole in mine and the wifes hearts. The mourning has been awful. We did not know how hard it would hit us and how deep the sorrow would be. She was a wonderful dog and the world was here to love her. As I type this I'm tearing up. We really miss Meta bad!
Meta at 4 weeks old and 12 weeks old.

What a good dog.....
Wife and I knew a puppy would come to us. We didn't know how, when or why. But it's clear the house has to have a dog in it. The home is empty without a dog in it. Yeah we have a few cats and a turtle in a fish tank. But no doggy. Wife heard last week there was a gent out in the country that had a litter of puppies from a mother dog that had been dropped and shot out in the country. He took her in, dug the bullet out of her and saved her and got her to healing. She is a Rat Terrier mix. As she was healing she showed prego. This good man saved her and kept her the best he could and spent money on her at the vet. Same vet we use. We talked with him here in town and on the phone a few times and went out today to meet mother and look the litter over. Mother dog took to us very quick which floored her new owner and his brother. And she showed us her babies and did not have a care in the world about us handling them out in a old barn in Oklahoma. We didn't get pics of her because she is still in very bad shape. She is a good dog and is following basic commands and social. We took to the female runt of the litter. She is a little cutie!
Inbound in a couple of weeks is Dawn. Yes we have already named her. Have contacted the vet and let them know we will be bringing in one of the puppies in a few weeks and we are looking forward to her opening a new chapter in our lives. A new beginning. Dawn will be smaller than Meta with a good dose of Terrier and possibly a mixed small Aussie Sheppard. Pure Mutt! She sure is a pretty little girl.
