Foxy is our latest family member. She has been with us for 5 years and came from the Boulder Valley Humane Society. She had come to them from a different shelter with two of her puppies. Foxy is a Shiba Inu/Cattle dog mix and is very cute and very smart. When I brought her home from the shelter she ran right over to my wife and has stayed by her ever since. She takes two walks a day with me but I must be content to be second in her life….and I am content.

The joy a dog can bring to your life is worth the eventual pain of their loss. I feel our job is to make every day for them worthy of our sharing their love. When our first dog Duchess died the vet said “we want them to live forever but they don’t”. That simple statement of fact was very consoling to me. I no longer expect my dog to live forever except in my heart and I will forever love Duchess and Queenie and Foxy, here or gone.
