Last night Matt and I took Mona to the vet to have a few lumps on her checked out. The boxer breed is the most likely of all dog breeds to develop cancer so I have been pretty worried about her. We took Mo in last night- sans painted toes (ashamed I know) and found out that her lumps were just oil glands that got too full. Thank goodness! I know I would love to add another dog to our family, but it will be a really tough day when God takes away my 4-legged best friend.
Here are some of my favorite memories of Mona Lisa the pig-dolphin-dog.
1. The first time I saw Mona. The trip mom and I took to get her was an adventure in itself, but the first time I saw this white pile of fur barreling past me, I knew it was love.
2. When I realized Mona was a lot like me. We would be down at the pond throwing sticks in for Mona and Mable to get. Mona would wait till Mable would swim all the way out, bring the stick half way back, and then steal it from her before she got back on land.
3. Driving to Granbury from Canyon for Easter or Thanksgiving I can't remember. Mona and I finally made it with only one stop. It was late, but everyone had stayed up. Mona ran around like a crazy for a minute or two and then pooped in the floor.
4. Coming home from clinicals and realizing Mona had put a hole in my mattress by trying to bury a bagel.
5. Coming home from clinicals and realizing Mona had put a hole in the couch by buring a bone.
6. After one Thanksgiving, I brought a ton of frozen left overs home. They made the 6hr trip just fine. I set them on the counter to thaw and went to run an errand. When I returned, Mona ate them all...frozen....even my twice baked potatoes.
7. It was Matts last day when he came to visit me, we had all of his things packed and I was about to take him to the airport. As we started to walk down the stairs, I realized Mona had left a pile of poop at the bottom.
I was going to do 10, but I just have too many and I'm tired! I love you Mo and hope I have many many more years and memories left with you.

Bobby remembers that poop too!!!! You and Mona are alot alike - We were so glad that that you & Mona made that trip to Granbury - Mona can poop on the floor again if you'll come see us again!! This world needs more dogs like Mona!!
i love number 4 & 5! those made me laugh!
I can't believe you left out the screen door (running through it as if it wasn't there!) Or left out Mo's collar getting stuck on Sean's dogs mouth and her being drug all over the yard! Or just plain ole driving and watching her fat lip blow in the wind!!! Awe, Deborrah's right, the world needs more Mona's!!
