Roxy

This is a portrait of a Boxer Puppy that my Mom got and tragically drowned 2 days later, this sad face forever haunts me. This was my first and last photo shoot with her. She was truly a beautiful spirit and a joy for the short time we had with her. She will forever be missed.

Thanks to the hosts of Cats and Dogs, You Big Softy, PhoDOGraphy, Pets are Us, All Soft and Cuddlies, Eye Contact and Our K-9 Friend for their features of Miss Roxy they are really

    Oh I’m so sorry, I love Boxers, and this one is just so cute. very sorry !

  • Diane Swarts replied

    Thanks Pat, I dont always understand why things happen the way they do, but I am hoping its for a greater good. She was an angel that just wasnt supposed to stay here on earth I guess.

    It is very sad. I raised basset pups. I accidentally overdosed a couple when treating them for hookworms. That still haunts me to this day. A fine tribute to Roxy. She was beautiful.

  • Diane Swarts replied

    Yes, she sneaked out unnoticed and got stuck under a pool cover poor thing. We didnt even realize she was gone it was only just a few minutes. When they are pups you have to be extra careful (and we thought we were being) and they can still get into what their not supposed to. Thanks for taking the time to talk.

    She looks so sweet and lovable and I am sorry for your loss. I know it does not help, but at least you will have that wonderful picture to remind you of her. Great shot and congratulations on your feature.

  • Diane Swarts replied

    Thanks so much Joanna, I am so glad I did this shoot on our first day with her, otherwise we would have nothing of her now.

    Stunning, I couldn’t take my eyes of of this gorgeous girl, we have four boxers, our most recent girl B’Ellana, looked very similar to Roxy. I really feel for you, they are such wonderful dogs.

  • Diane Swarts replied

    Thanks Mel, yes they truly are a special breed and the faces are so expressive, I just love them. She was a joy.

    my god, I’ve had that happen too, you take a photo of an animal, then they disappear and forever after that you cant help but pause every time that photo of them appears… Gorgeous shot, terribly sad about Roxy.

  • Diane Swarts replied

    Thats one of the things that draws me to photography its a memory captured forever, regardless of what happens in real time – thanks for looking ;-)

    Sheesh…what a sad story for such a great photo. My parents have had boxers for years. They are wonderfully tempered dogs.

  • Diane Swarts replied

    Arent they? I just love them, Roxy made such a big impression on my Mom that she hasn’t gotten another one yet, it may take a year or two to bring herself to getting another Boxer pup, because they all remind her so much of Rox.

    Oh, what an awful story….This is such a precious image.

  • Diane Swarts replied

    Yes it was truly a nightmare that we will never get over. But, at least she is remembered in this way, thats all we can do now, and I do think the image reflects are sweetness through and through. Thanks for commenting.
