Mocha was our 9 year old boxer. We were her 4th and last home. I brought her home on December 29th, 2010 and have been grateful ever since then for her being in our life. She helped keep me busy when Aaron deployed and I was by myself. When he got home she kept him company while I was gone/deployed. She was the sweetest dog I’ve ever met and always tried to cuddle with us (even on our bed/couch where she wasn’t allowed). She also constantly played my shadow, following me around the house. A favorite spot of hers was on a bed in the kitchen, watching me while I worked. However, her absolute favorite things to do were wrestling with Aaron and going on walks. She was always so happy to hit the trails.
Unfortunately not even 2 years after having her in our home, she developed cancer (systemic lymphoma) and left us in July of 2012. It was so hard to deal with, especially because I was gone at school when she passed. We miss her still. However, we have a lot of fond memories that still bring smiles to our faces. I don’t think I’ll ever meet another dog with as much sass as her.

This is a shadow box I made of her things. In it is the sweater she was wearing when I picked her up from the airport after being shipped to me from Indiana. The paw print was given to us by our vet when she passed. Her collar and a name tag are in there too.
