Bora joins the pack

Now, in October 2009, this is old news. However, since I've not introduced her, and she's become such an integral part of my home, and she plays such an integral part in the lives of my foster dogs, it's time to introduce Bora.

On of February 20, 2008 I became the boxer rescue girl with no boxer. Dreading that moment that I knew was on its way, I had to bring my dear boy, Kuno, to my wonderful vet and end his life. Kuno lived a good amount of years with us and was quite ill after diabetes and some mobility issues complicated by it. I still miss him every day.

On April 30, 2008 miss Bora was born. I chose to add a puppy to my home because with so many personalities needing to be dealt with already, a puppy would be the best mesher. Bora's dad is a fantastic 'specimen' and is owned by a friend of mine, a friend of Boxer Rescue of Atlantic Canada. One lone brindle girl existed in the litter of 8. I didn't have to meet them. I didn't follow my own advice. I based my decision on her resemblance to Kuno, my love for brindle, and the fact that I wanted a female.



I figured that with the number of boxers I have owned and fostered that I could mold her. HAHA! She's a challenge every day and very much her own dog, not very pliable at all. She creates her own mold as she goes.

But she's a wonderful dog. She has her quirks and she's very much a highly driven dog and tests me numerous times each day. But she's my girl and she's certainly filled the boxer sopt in the house. She's now almost 18 months old and she adds her boxer flair to all of our house guests' lives and enjoys every minute of it.
