The fall of 2001 was a very exciting time... a new home, a new family, and the cutest baby Boxer pup, our Gracie. You were a stubborn, bruiser of a puppy who came into our lives and stole our hearts. You could even put your "brother" Baxter, who outweighed you by 60 pounds, in his place. Life was never boring with you around. And you were so brave and strong, never letting on to the severity of the disease that plagued your young body and would soon take you from us. We miss not having gotten to share more of our lives with you, but we look back and smile thinking of our feisty puppy, and the perfect angel she became. -Mommy & Daddy-
