itI am self empolyed and do heating and plumbing. I went to the LaClairs to repair furnace and did went upstairs and sat at table and tryed to write bill, Treppy would not let me write. I got down on the floor and we played for about 15 minutes. I had to leave so we stopped and he let me write the bill. When Evelyn the bill i told her that if she ev- got rid of Treppy that I wanted him....A few months later I got a call on a thrusday it was Evelyn and she told me that they were moving to Florida and could not take Treppy and if I would like to have him !!!! When she said this I started to cry. My wife was coming out of the livingroom and asked what was wrong? I asked if I could have a boxer. I was still crying and trying to talk and told all about Treppy and what he looked like and how he was house trained and obidence trained. (hahahhahahahahahahahah)She said yes and we went out saturday and pick -ed him up and brought him home. He was okay that day and when it came time for bed he jumped up on the bed and curled up and went to sleep. (foot of bed). Before long he was between my wife and I.He gets cold easy. We now have a heated waterbed and he loved it. We had treppy for 5 years and it was the best time of my life. He was our pride and joy. and he was spoiled rotten he had run of the house but his faverate pl- was at night when I went to bed I would say night night time and he and I would trot off to bed and he would get next to me and put his head on my chest and go to sleep. On a scale of 1 to 10 he was a 25. I miss him so much he was my boy and I loved him equial to my kids. sometimes more.He was always there and was my best buddy. Well I an having trouble typing this so I will close. Thank you Ray and Deb DiPietro
