Good-bye Doodle Bug

Image
About 7 years ago Molly the boxer came into our home. She was a friend's dog who needed us to adopt her. We said good-bye to Molly, AKA Doodle Bug, on Saturday, and she was 12 years old. That's a long life for a boxer. I think it was a good one, too.  Molly, as you can see, was a beautiful boxer with the full white collar. We were told she could have been a show dog in her younger years. But when she got to us she was a family dog. We were shocked at how well behaved she was. Her first parents trained her well. She ate a collar the first night with us, because she was anxious, but then after that.....I don't think she ate anything but her dog food. Ok maybe an occasional table scrap. She gave us good nibble tickles, the really gentle ones, but she NEVER bit anyone. She ALMOST bit several Chinese food and pizza delivery men, because she was the world's best guard dog, but she never got angry with us or even played too hard. Keeping us safe was her priority. In b
