It always amazes me how quickly time flies. It’s seems like just yesterday, my family was welcoming not one, but two little bundles of joy into the house. After the death of Missy the Boxer, we had decided our house was just too quiet without the pitter-patter of puppy paws, so the search began for another Boxer to share our love.
I will never forget when Muffy was delivered to our house. Once her breeder sat her down, she ran straight to me, and never looked back. That is the way it is today. She never leaves my side. She shared my bed and my pillow from her first night here – and she still does.
Brody arrived the very next day. He was the last of the litter to find a home, and their breeder, seeing how Muffy immediately bonded with me, offered to sell him at a reduced price. Soft-hearted me could not bear the thought of the two being separated, so like I fool I agreed to buying him. I will never forget my husband’s horrified response when I told him at supper that evening that another puppy would be arriving the next day. “What were you thinking?” he asked. Well, clearly I wasn’t. But what a great name! And Cimarron’s What Were You Thinking came to his forever home the next day.
Yes, time does have a way of flying over us, leaving within our hearts memories of days which have past, and leaving us with a yearning for more. We’ll spend the day letting the Twins do all of those things they love. There will be baths, and they will tussle over who gets in the tub first. There will be a walk around the block, and while Brody will be a goofball, Muffy will be all business. There will be a trip to the pet store to pick out a special toy and a treat. And all the while, I will be wondering if this will be the last time the Twins will celebrate their birthday together.
We have switched Brody to a raw diet, and I have added herbal supplements to his regimen. He is tolerating his medicines well, and other than having blood in his urine, is feeling fine. He plays. He eats. He drinks. He snuggles. He is my clock, letting me know when it’s time to get up and when it is time to feed the pack. In fact, he is doing so much better than me.
But for now, we will celebrate. Happy birthday, Twins! August 9, 2010. 8 – 9 -10. Until next time…

Oh my gosh Ann, I remember when Muffy and Brody arrived, and here we are several years later. It’s been wonderful watching these two grow up, compete and be your dearly beloved friends throughout. Thank you for sharing this touching part of your life.

Happy birthday! It doesn’t seem possible but time flies when we are having fun. I agree with RaeDeen it has been a long time since we have had tails, err, I mean tales from the twins on the ‘puter! Wishing you two many more!
Ann thanks for sharing. I can’t have a dog now as I work and I feel it’s so unfair with all the road trips I make for work, so it’s nice to live the life with a pet through friends like you.
Happy Birthday to the twins… Hugs.
You sure love your dogs, I can see it in the pictures. One can’t resist the love of a pet eh?

Happy Birthday, Twins! It’s been a long time since Mom has let you play on the computer….sure miss hearing from you two. 🙂 Have a great day!
Thank you so much, Ann, for sharing your wonderful dogs with us. A great big Happy Birthday to them…keep posting those marvelous pictures!
They are 7 years old already? I can’t believe how time flies. I still remember the day you posted about losing Missy. I was at my desk at work boohoo crying. I texted my sister (who has Boxers) and had her crying right along with me. I was thrilled when you got The twins and I too thought “what is she thinking”, lol. But look at the joy they have brought you. You and Brody are in my thoughts daily. I pray for time and peace for you both when it’s his time to go meet up with Missy.
Happy Birthday sweet Boxer Butts!
Love the stories you share with us. Kris
Sending “Happy Birthday” Wishes to your sweet fur babies. I know the feeling of how our babies take the place of other things that is not as important. We have one that is almost 15 y.o. and is spoiled rotten. Enjoy every minute you have them.
Happy, Happy Birthday to the Twins! It’s really amazing to experience the warmth of the bond that develops with our adorable pets. Thanks so much for sharing!

Happy Burthday Pat’s to the adorable twins……and a special hug and pat to dear Brody! We made a commitment after having to put down our cat several years ago, to not have any more pets….hard but so far we have stuck to our guns, so to speak! I want a kitten or two and my guys would be happy with a puppy…but……
