The Girls LOOVE the country!

My parents live outside of San Antonio on some land and the dogs absolutely LOVE going home! My parents have a few dogs of their own, so they get to play ALOT with everyone and they are free to roam where they please, almost 100 acres!

Recently when I went home the bluebonnets had already started to bloom and there is a large patch that I went out and took pictures of them in!



I absolutely love this feature on my camera, where I can make everything black and white except one accent color! I may not be a photographer but I sure like to try! =)

I love spring in Texas, the weather is absolutely wonderful, the sky seems to stretch on forever and the bluebonnets are breathtaking!

Laila Ali

After getting our first boxer Molly, 6 months later we wanted another one, we decided to get a sister for Molly. Laila was born on January 9, 2009. Only a mere 7 months after Molly. I thought it was a great time to get a sister for Molly, she needed a playmate! I once again turned to the online pet classifieds. I looked at numerous puppies, and really wanted a brindle, when I stumbled across an add for flashy reverse brindle puppies, I loved what I saw! All of these puppies were so beautifully colored, they were such a dark brindle and very original. There was a little female who caught my eye, she was so tiny and had alot of flash to her. When I went to go see the litter this female was the last flashy one left and I knew I had to have her!
At first Molly did not know what to do with this little thing that was trying to nurse off of her. It took awhile but she finally warmed up to this little thing, and soon they became great friends..or sisters! (Although they are not actually related)

We wanted to come up with a name that was related to real-life boxers, like Rocky or Muhammad Ali. Since she is a girl this made it a little more difficult, however we found out that Muhammad Ali's daughter was named Laila, so therefore she got the name Laila Ali. One thing we noticed right away is that her personality was so different than Molly's, for one she was very laid back, not hyper like Molly! She also loves to cuddle, and is very permissive. Another cute thing that is different is that she has a small underbite and a really long tongue which causes her teeth and tongue to hang out of her mouth. It causes her to look "special" or cute in my opinion! =)

Another cute thing Laila started when she was little was crawling under the bed, mainly to hide from Molly, and I thought as she grew older and larger she would no longer be able to fit under the bed. I was mistaken, although she is almost 60 pounds she still manages to slither sideways and squeeze under the bed! haha

Laila is a magnet to water, and was a natural swimmer from the start. She loves retrieving toys from the water, here she is jumping into the water...look at that air!


Due to Laila's loving personality and beautiful markings, we thought she would make a wonderful mom, that is why we have chosen her to breed!

Molly

Molly was born on June 15th, of 2008. In the summer of 2008 I had just moved to the Houston area and was looking for a companion. I have had many friends who have owned boxers and fell in love with their tough looking exterior, bold personalities and clown like humor. I had known for quite some time that my first dog would be a boxer. I first checked out the Lonestar boxer rescue, and when they had nothing available that was under 2 years old, I turned to the online pet classifieds. I must have browsed through 100's of puppy photos, but for some reason this adorable flashy fawn female stuck out. She was big for a female, and had cute white markings. She was not from a big kennel just a family home breeder who owned the mom and dad. When I went to go meet her, she was the most estatic puppy I had ever met, she was jumping all over, licking me and being extremely playful. I knew I had to have her, she had a outgoing and loving personality just like me.


Shortly after I got her home, I took her to the vet for a health checkup, but by this time I had already had her for over a week, and was in love with her. The vet gave me horrible news, she said Molly had a severe heart murmur, and that she could potentionally grow out of it, and may have no other issues, or it could get worse and she could die! I was shocked and heartbroken, but still blinded by love, I said I was not going to just simply give her back and give up on her.


As she grew older the murmur decreased and now when she is fully grown, it is still present but barely audible. It has reached it maximum size, and she should live a healthy life, we had an EKG done at the bay area specialist center to be absolutely sure and they confirmed the good news that it is not growing anymore!

To this day Molly still is very outgoing, she jumps and licks all over when she is excited and is still estatic about EVERYTHING! She absolutely loves life, and anything having to do with a toy or water. She did not just start out swimming though, at first she would literally sink in a pool. It wasn't until she was over a year old that she finally got the hang of it, and now at 2 years old she is a magnet to water. She will leap off of anything, a dock, a diving board, and even a small pool waterfall!


She is my first boxer and I have a feeling there will be plenty more to come!
