My Constant Companion

We have three dogs, yes, three.  We have had a little black pomeranian and a black minature dachschund for the past few years and were completely happy with our little pups.   Well, this past September an abandoned 9 week old Boxer puppy came into our lives.  He had no tags, chip or collar.  His belly was bloated from eating out of trash cans and he had a few little patches of puppy mange.  After some TLC, good food and some meds, I am happy to say he is still with us and is a fabulous dog.

The pomeranian (Bentley) has always been "my" dog.  He lays close by me most of the time.  The dachschund (Daisy) is the "diva", in charge, and is my husband's constant companion.  The new boxer (Ducati, Duke for short) has fit in wonderfully.  The curious thing is Duke is now with me ALL the time.  He follows me into my glass studio and watches from the doorway while I make my beads.  He lays at my feet while I am at my desk.  He sits on the floor by the couch if I am reading or watching TV.  He is in the kitchen while I am cooking.  Everywhere I go, there he is!  So  I was thinking about a blog post and you guessed it, there he was looking at me so I decided to share a cute picture of my Boxer buddy!

Isn't he just adorable!!!  Don't know how anyone could have let him go, but  we are grateful they did!

  6. Besides being a cutie, this dog is probably the gentlest animal we have ever owned. I think we are all lucky to have one another!
