Powder

Out for a walk near the pond
I had bred boxers for a few years and actually had 2 white boxer pups in one litter. One was deaf and had no pigment at all. The other had a few black hairs inside his ears. I was unable to breed my last female due to knee problems and thus went the end of a beautiful line. Then came Powder. A scrawny little man in a big window in a pet store. A place I would never get a dog, but there was something about him. He has the most soulful eyes and loves life so much. He is afraid of his own shadow, and many humans, but once he knows you, he loves you. He loves every other dog he has met, including a couple of horses. He loves to play with his "little sister" Shortcake the Pug. His favorite toys seem to be rocks.
