My Story:

Over half my working life spent in the RAF, some of which was overseas - mainly eastern Med' and Persian Gulf. We are what you may call displaced persons as our places of origin no longer contain family members. Our childhood haunts are still there but the roads are narrower and full of parked cars! Since leaving the RAF we have always had Boxers - the first to replace my daughter when she went off to music school. Harriet (the dog) was less argumentative and didn't use the bathroom! After Hattie there was Wilma who we traumatically lost, aged five, in January 2010 to an undiagnosed gastric illness. We are now the proud parents of a twelve week old bridle boxer bitch with a tail - hell on legs to some - but a bundle of fun to us! Roxana is aptly named especially when shortened to Rox 'cos she seems to consider them a part of her diet! House training has or seems to be, touch wood, a bit of a doddle but the 'studio' floor is fair game! Need the long walks soon to lose the half stone that I've gained over the past four months! We look forward to at least the next ten years of 'puppy' time with her.
