MEMORIAL - Princess
It is with great sadness that we have to report the loss of a boxer that touched our hearts.
Date: September 23, 2012

Princess came to us from AABR in 2001 at a time when everything we had known was changing.  She was a constant for us – something stable, something good - and our first rescue dog.  She was a busy youngster who grew into a sweetheart of an old girl.  She barked a bunch, passed gas at will, licked her belly raw and wiped her dirty lips on the couch or us.  And I’m not a good enough writer to convey how much we loved that dog.  

She had a nub of a tail that we’re convinced was cropped by an amateur.  It just wasn’t quite right. It was just long enough to sound like a knock at the door and when she wagged, her whole butt shook.  She "talked” for attention, especially when you were giving it to another person or pet.  And even earlier this week, she was still making the run around the shed with the pit bull.  She’d only make it around once or twice in recent years but she’d make it. 

Princess was my weekend co-pilot on rides to the produce store, preferring to sit up like a person unless her big ears were flying in the breeze out the window.  I swear she knew what time it was and what clothes I was wearing and thus, could tell the difference between a workday and a weekend.

In the last year, she passed her Canine Good Citizen test and became a therapy dog.  We volunteered at the hospital where I work.  She was known to the staff and loved to lie around at a nurse’s station tapping the floor with her tail while lounging on her side.  We could go on and on about her, but will sum it up by saying she epitomized unconditional love…..with four paws, dirty lips and a “voice” we’ll miss hearing when we get home.
