If you're reading this, you know we love our dogs. We REALLY love our dogs. Rowdy just finished week 1 of his TPLO recovery and is doing great. The hardest part thus far is convincing him that he's not the little puppy seen in this photo anymore, and as much as he wants to play already, he cant. It's really hard to keep a 2 year old boxer from playing, but we know in the end - we're doing the right thing.
Rowdy is our 2 year old male boxer who has the most personality of any dog we've ever met (we are biased), and he completely changed our lives forever. We rescued him from a puppy mill situation and he absolutely chose us - how could you resist a little guy like that right?!?
In the last 2 years, we've gone from dog loving people to dog obsessed people. We photograph dogs, volunteer for the MN Boxer Rescue, donate time to the HSUS and do anything else we can do to help animals in need. We really owe it all to Rowdy as he's shown us what true love is. He loves us 110% of the time with 110% of his heart. It's this kind of love and devotion that we feel so passionate about and truly feel that every pet deserves to feel.
We get asked sometimes why we're doing this site, and we thought a little background about how much Rowdy means to us would be helpful. So if you're reading this and going through what we're going through right now, asking yourself if it's the right thing to do (because it is very hard), think about how much your dog loves you and impacts your life and know that you're absolutely doing the right thing.
Your pup is going to wonder what they did wrong, why you won't let them play, why are you confining them to a smaller space than they're used to, why can't they jump up on the couch, etc. You have to remember that it's all for their quality of life long-term, and think about a way that you can turn that experience into a positive one for others.
