This
is Callie, she is my pride and joy. This little boxer baby was born
on October 23rd 2011 in Marystown, Newfoundland. Now, let me explain to
you where she came from, and why I love her! During my search for my new
puppy, I posted an advertisement on the internet explaining that I was
looking for a boxer pup. The reason for this, is because I had a boxer
before Callie. He meant the world to me, unfortunately I lost him. When I
found myself ready to move on and "fill the void" so to speak, I was
determined to find the perfect one.
One cold night, in the middle of November, my cell phone rang. I didn't
recognize the number, but I answered it anyway. I was greeted by the
cheerful voice of a young woman. She went on to explain that she saw my
ad, and she is the proud owner of two pure bred boxer's, Jerzi and Jax.
She told me that Jerzi had recently given birth to eight boxer puppies who
were only a few days old. She continued telling me about the puppies, what
they looked like, how many were male and female, etc. Personally, I was in
search of a brindle, male boxer pup, just like my old one. Unfortunately
the only brindle puppies available were all females. I'd never owned a
female dog before so I was a bit skeptical. After our long and informative
phone conversation, the lady sent me some pictures of each pup. I browsed
through them a few times but only one caught my eye. There she was, a days
old, feeble, wrinkly, brindle, beautiful. I had never been more in love
with a photograph in all my life. I called the lady back the next day and
told her I had chosen the puppy I wanted. The biggest, the first born, the
most beautiful. She was thrilled with my decision and so was I. I soon
after paid the $300.00 deposit, and picked out her name. All there was
left to do was wait.
On December 18th 2011, I drove to meet with the lady's husband to finally
own my perfect puppy. I was overwhelmed with excitement I nearly jumped
out of the car while I was still driving to my destination! When I finally
arrived to the rendezvous, I paid him the rest of the cash, and held her
in my arms for the first time. It was cold, windy and snowy, she was cold
so I wrapped her in the blanket I bought especially for her. She snuggled
into me the whole way home, on my lap. I'd never been so happy to own
something in my life. I brought her into my home to show my sister and
family and of course, they fell in love.
Callie is the most brilliant puppy I have ever seen. She was easily house
trained, she knows quite a few tricks, and gets along famously with my
mother's dog, Max. I know boxers have a ton of energy but Callie is
something else! She'll run laps around the house, prancing and tripping up
in her legs at the same time, front flip into her bed and kick and squirm
and whine for her own entertainment. well, ours too, its quite the scene.
She gets too excited sometimes but can calm down as soon as I say so. Her
gorgeous chestnut brown eyes sparkle at me every morning and it just
lights up my day! She's so silly, so cuddly and so beautiful! I would do
anything for this little girl, she's my whole world! The thing I love most
about dogs, any dog, is that they will never judge you. They will always
love you. You are all they know. They depend on you. It feels good to know
you're the one they look up to. I wouldn't trade her for the world. <3
