Moxie's birthday/ an anniversary...

Today is a special anniversary date for Mom... because it is Moxie's birthday. For those who don't know, Moxie was Mom's dog and Mom loved her dearly. This is a photo of the first day they met, and after that first kiss, Mom and Moxie were bonded. Moxie and Mom went on many adventures together and did so many things, and Mom realized time and time again, what "dogs can do for humans" and always treasured knowing.


Sadly, dogs don't live as long as humans, and when Moxie passed away, Mom's heart was broken. She really didn't want another dog just then, afterall, she did have Hunter, Trevor, Camille and Cole still to love, but there was still a place in Mom's heart that felt so empty. So....Four years ago today ---- Moxie's birthday, is when Mom decided to raise "a puppy or two" for NEADS. She was so happy to be accepted into the program, and now as it turns out... I am the fifth puppy that she is raising for NEADS.

Some day, Mom will probably get another baby cocker to be her own, but she told me for now, raising service puppies keeps her heart happy and when she does this, she is keeping Moxie alive in her heart. And with all the puppies that she raises, she sends her prayers and best wishes that service puppies (like me) will find that bond that only a human and a dog can have....

I am hoping so...I am hoping to be someone's very special dog.. just like Moxie was...

life of.... Rylie!!!!
