Howdy -
Another hard post. Hubby says maybe I shouldn't do these post, but sometimes our fur children are part of this blog family just as much as our own family. This week we lost Miss Moxie. She has been getting older, and the last two weeks she has been really not feeling well. First off she didn't suffer, she just got old and weak. Nearly 16 for a outside farm dog is pretty good and we did our best to make sure she had the best life possible. She gave us lots of love and we gave it right back.
She was one of the neighbors dogs puppies - Three of the puppies were kept by the neighbor, who was never home due to work. So we took care of them. The neighbor moved off when they were still young and we adopted them. Heck they spent most of their time here with us. Niner and Nally were the other two doggies, we loved them too, time and wandering off and taking on coyotes and snakes were to much for them. Moxie... she was the sweetheart and never left far from the house at all. She adopted the donkeys as her siblings. Knew to stay just far enough away - but always close enough to "watch over" her family.
She has been a special part of our family - will be missed terribly - driving onto the property our hearts sink not seeing our normal greeting.
Always in our drive ears up and tail wagging.
And I just love that grin of hers. I just had to call her name and she would come running and smile at me.
She always followed us around the property as if she was taking count and checking on everyone just as much as "Dad". She was fed the the best we could usually all beef hot dogs, or hamburger patties, she never would eat that nasty dry dog food. She loved chicken too, especially shredded chicken tacos or nuggets! She had her cushy bed on the front porch under the porch light and with a heat lamp in the winter. She hated to be contained. Once she wandered in the back yard and the gate got closed and it was a really bad bad reaction.
She knew she live on our property and this is where she stayed happily.
We were blessed to have been the ones chosen for her to live with and for us to love so much. Everyone that met her loved her.
Miss Moxie you will always be the best farm dog ever! We already miss you and will always remember you and love you!

Sad news. Miss Moxie was wise to choose you. Best life ever. We will miss her too. Big hugs for you and the Mr.
I am so sorry for your loss. I have read about Moxie for so many years, she definitely was in our hearts as well so thank you for letting us know. I remember the other two as well and wondered about them, I am so very glad Moxie hung close and lived 16 years- that is amazing! It’s going to be sad for a good while but you can be proud of the life you gave her. Hugs, Lori K
Oh no, I'm so sorry to read this 😢. I'm really sorry for your loss (also Libbie). But all of your dogs have had the best life together with you ❤️. Big hugs, Jay Jay
I'm so sorry. It's almost unbearable when we lose them.

What a wonderful life she had with you.
So loved.
Such a pretty girl.
