Inspired by Bones & Maylee,

 

When I was a kid around 13 years old, a white boxer followed me home one day, and he became known as Bones. He was always by my side and followed me anytime I went horseback riding and would defend me against any stray dogs in the neighborhood. I absolutely loved that dog and his owner discovered he was with me and told me to go ahead and keep him since he didn't seem to want anything to do with him so he got to live the rest of his life with me.  In December of 2000, in my 20's I looked in the newspaper in Calfornia for a Boxer puppy and Maylee a classic fawn found me and we lived the rest of her life together. She died at the ripe old age of 12. She loved her frisbee and was the most devoted, brave Boxer you will ever have met. Her ashes sit on my book shelf as I will always have a respect and love for her so deep.
