Some of you will remember our first Boxer Josie. We promised Larry a male puppy when she had her first litter. Well, due to some unsuccessful mating dates, Josie only had 2 puppies - a female we kept (Kirby) and Larry's beloved Curtis! The night Larry took Curtis home was unforgetable for me. The puppies were running around the house and we were trying to play cards. Larry picked up his puppy and held him for the remainder of the evening. He was totally in love with this puppy! And Curtis was totally in love with Larry. It was soooo sweet! Even though Curtis wasn't as old as he should have been to be taken away from Josie, it was very clear Larry wasn't leaving without him! Curtis was soooo big even at that age that we didn't worry about it - we also knew Curtis was going to a home with a man that would spoil him to death. He loved that dog like it was another child. I don't think Larry really ever got over losing Curtis. They went through so much together. Larry - Dude, we miss you. Thanks for all the great memories. You'll always be in our hearts. Forever, Holmes and Lou
