Today we lost a friend. Baxter was our 1st child. When we were originally planning on getting a dog we thought that Boxer's were very protective and didn't bark a lot ... well, we got one out of the two! Many visitors were quite scared of him, but if they would have tried to pet and love on him he probably would have just peed on their shoe out of excitement. He was a wild and crazy dog. We used to have quite a bit of land at our old house and he'd run laps in the back yard so fast he'd throw up dirt. We could tell he had gotten tired the last few years. Everything happened quickly with his passing and we hope and pray he wasn't in pain. We appreciate his unconditional love and protection he's shown our family over the past 8+ years.
