Boca my best friend!

I took this 5 minutes ago. Gavin is home with the Stomach flu and Boca is keeping him company.
Her big ears are my favorite!!!

Gavin and I were talking about how life would be without our Boca baby, and we can't imagine our home without her. She brings us so much joy and happiness. When patients at work ask me if I have any children I always tell them I have a daughter, she has 4 legs and a tail. We sure do spoil her like she is our child. A quote that I heard when watching the preview for Marley and Me was really touching. "A dog doesn't care if you are rich or poor. Give her your heart and she'll give you hers." That is such a true statement, and that is why Boca is my best friend. Every day without fail, as soon as I walk through the door she is whining and jumping on me because she is so happy to see me. So our ritual is as soon as I get home, I immediately put my stuff down and kneel down and hug her, pet her and then she gets her toy for me to throw. It is one of my favorite times of the day, not matter how my day went I know that Boca is waiting to give me love when I get home!

Sometimes I worry about Boca when we are away from home and Gavin says she is just a dog, but I know he loves her as much as I do. They are always going on walks, and snuggling together. We are so blessed to have her in our family. Thanks Dad, Josh and Liz for helping me pick her out!!!!!
