Northwoods Boxers

  JUST MY DOG
She is my other eyes that can see above the clouds;
 my other ears that hear above the winds.
She is the part of me that reaches out into the sea.
She has told me a thousand times over that I'm
her reason for being.
by the way she rests against my leg; 
by the way she thumps her tail at my smallest smile;
 by the way she shows her hurt when I leave
without taking her.
I think it makes her worry when she is not along
to care for me.
When I am wrong, she is delighted to forgive.
When I am angry, she clowns to make me smile.
When I am happy, she is joy unbounded.
When I am a fool, she ignores it.
When I succeed, she brags.
Without her, I am only another person. 
With her, I am all powerful.
She is loyalty itself.
She has taught me the meaning of devotion.
With her, I know a secret comfort and a private peace. 
She has brought me understanding where before
I was ignorant.
Her head on my knee can heal my human hurts.
Her presence by my side is protection against my fears 
of dark and unknown things.
She has promised to wait for me, whenever, wherever
in case I need her.
And I expect I will, as I always have.
  She is just my dog.y

This poem by Gene Hill perfectly describes my relationship with my beloved Boxer Bella.eloved Boxer                  

 Bella is a Beautiful 3 yr old dark brindle American Boxer. There are 38 champions in her 4 generation pedigree. She is my shadow, her world literally revolves around me. Bella is the love of my life, I think that she has to be the sweetest most loving soul on this earth. She would follow me to the end of the world, there is not a shadow of doubt in my mind. Bella is just as as beautiful as she is loving and she knows it too, sometimes just seems to pose for the camera. I think that she missed her calling and she should have been a boxer model:)

Bella is kind to all other animals, she loves kids and adults and she is an amazing mother, she is so attentive and careful with her babies. She has done a wonderful job with her past puppies, they were all gorgeous and such wonderful puppies, they all went to great homes and they are so spoiled, you can see them on the Past Puppies page.

Bella is very athletic and she is well muscled and agile. She loves to run and jump over the tallest snow banks that she can find. She can run laps around the property like a maniac and tears through the woods but when she comes in the house she just lays on the couch or in front of the heater (if it is winter, that is her favorite spot).
