our dog is super.
that's not a biased statement -- our dog is named super. after our previous dog passed away totally unexpectedly from cancer, we found ourselves lonely without having a sweet boxer as part of our family. we contacted the blue ridge boxer rescue group, and, after a thorough application process, welcomed super into our lives on november 18, 2006. she came to us with the temporary name of "shiloh", but we weren't too interested in paying homage to brad & angelina's daughter every time we called her. so, she became super. our last dog was spider. we're slowly going through the superhero list, although chris seems to think "anita" or "ivana" would be a comical choice next time.
we don't know much about super's previous life, other than the fact that she was found emaciated on the side of a highway in south carolina. of course, we don't really want to know much. sadly, we've noticed that she cowers any time a man starts to take off his belt in her presence, and the sight of golf clubs or long sticks sends her fleeing to the opposite side of the room. how anyone could possibly abuse and neglect our precious super is beyond our comprehension.
as i type this, i know without even looking that she's curled up on the floor beneath me. (the kids are both asleep, or she'd be with them.) she is loyal, playful, affectionate, often (unfortunately) flatulent, and always, in every way, lovingly protective of our children. she's great at fetch, skilled at catching discarded food from susanna's plate, and, as evident in the above photo, quite patient while liam ponders his next move in a rousing game of candyland. we love her so.
