Annie Gets What Annie Wants.

Well, as everyone already knows, Jon and I got the most perfect little Boxer girl in the whole world. We got her from Legendary Boxers in Moroni, Utah and couldn't be happier with the relationship we have developed with hr breeder and have confidence in her quality and health. Just looking at her it is very clear that she is a beauty.


Little Annie is a sweetheart through and through. She is, of course, an active little thing, but is first and foremost a little cuddlebug. Don't get me wrong, my boys are a lot of fun, and I do adore them and love them dearly, but Annie is my first little girl, and my first cuddler and "people" dog. She just makes eveything a little bit better than it really is. lol.


Annie adjusted incredibly well to life with her new family. She goes home with Jon every night, and then is with me all day. It's only been three days and it seems that she already has the routine down and knows the drill. Even on the car ride home, there was only a few moments of crying, and then she settled right down on my lap and took a nap. She's wonderful. She is already responding to her name, and loves people. She has been a joy to have.



I know my family doesn't agree with the decision we have made but the fact of the matter is that it is a decision Jon and I made together, and we love her so much. Bringing Annie into our lives has strengthened our relationship even more, as it has given us this wonderful little girl to call "ours" and to care for and nurture together. We would not have it any other way. She makes life a little brighter, the sun a little warmer, and each day a little more meaningful. It feels wonderful to look at her sweet little face, and know that because we love her, because we take the time to care for her and listen to her, she will be alright. She will never know hunger, or the meaning of a raised hand. She will never shiver outside in the cold all night, or wonder the streets in search of love. She will never know neglect, or suffering. Because we care, Annie will always have everything she needs.



Annie is a riot. She loves to run around with my niece and nephew, and loves all the attention she can get. Annie is all about people, and being around people. We got her some new toys, and she loves loves loves her pink Kong Wubba Snugga. She absolutely adores it. She pounces on it, kills it, carries it around with her. It's the cutest thing. She isn't a little food mongrel like Grissom, and still isn't eating a whole lot for us, but at least she's eating. That's always a good sign. I know she'll fill up when she's ready, I'm just new to the finicky eater game. She also hates being left alone- especially crated- with a passion. We are working on that with her, and I know in time her confidence and security will grow and she will be fine. Until then, patience, patience, patience. lol.

I am so glad that we made this decision, even if it makes no sense to anyone but ourselves. I wouldn't trade one minute I've had with Annie for anything in the world. I love her sooo much. She's perfect. I could not be more proud of my Legendary Boxer.
