Bella, our boxer, is going to be 12 years old really soon. We've had her for 11 years & it was such a blessing when the animal shelter (where we had put our names on a list in case a boxer mix came in) called us to say that they had a young purebred boxer that someone dropped off "because she had too much energy." We hustled over there and grabbed her & our lives have never been the same! She has been such a wonderful dog & has seen us through everything. In the beginning we would rollerblade, run, bike with her, play on the beach... Now we can only walk together for a block, but she still enjoys sniffing everything in her path! She has had her share of health problems recently, but she is still going strong. Boxer life spans are 10-12 years, so we're prepared for what will inevitably come, but we're enjoying her company while she's still here. She has recently taken a strong liking to Ava & Sofia's big soft doggy...
