Thank you everyone for your kind words and thoughts. For those of you who knew Cora and asked what happened, we still aren't 100% sure. After our
last trip to Baja at Christmas we noticed that she was loosing weight rapidly so we took her into the vet. We had spent the summer in Baja with her
and in Aug. we were on the Pacific side where she had a huge tick problem (she had a bad reaction to various flea/tick meds. so none could be used) We
reported the tick problem to the vet as an F.Y.I. He took blood tests and came back with a possitive reading for Rocky Mountain Fever. She was given
meds, but they made her sick. We never saw the results or the vet as he was always too busy.
We went to a different vet who did more tests and reported back that her titers were not high for Rocky Mountain Fever after all. (I think the first
vet was using that as an easy out)We tried various different meds to help her bounce back and nothing worked. She was loosing up to 2 lbs a week as we
waited for different test results to come in, and with her small size she didn't have that much more to go.
It finally got down to a "value of life" wait. Her mind and tail were the last things that were working. The vet thinks that her G.I. tract was
infected with cancer, as Boxers are prone to that awful disease.
We are going to be dogless for a while.
This is Cora, napping with her new squirrel she got for Christmas.

So sorry Paulina that you lost your beautiful girl.
Our animal babies own our hearts and it's unfair that they leave us so quickly.
Cora obviously had a wonderful life, full of advendure.
Thank you for sharing Cora's adventures with us. I write this with tears in my eyes.
Via con dios Cora.

Paulina & family,
I'm saddened over your loss. It's nice to see so many friends come forward to share your sorrow. Cora will be missed for a long time to come. I
know there are many times I miss by baja buddy Reineer (or as you might remember him as Beach Patrol) and he has been gone for many years now. I
still smile when I think of him and that is often. He will be with me always as Cora will be with you and your family. They never really leave us.

Ah, Paulina, We feel for you. We always have several Huskies in the house and they just don't live as long as we do.
Get another dog! It will quickly find a place in your heart and make you smile again.

Paulina. So sorry for your loss. If there was ever any doubt about the "unconditional love of a dog", here is an experiment. Take your dog, and
place it in the trunk of your car along with your spouse. Wait an hour. Then open the trunk, and watch who is the most pleased to see you.!!!!!

Sorry to hear the bad news. We lost our Rott Kayla shortly after we saw you Christmas. This weekend our Weiner dog Oscar lost the mobility of his
rear legs. I am waiting for Yvonne to make the call. We love our dogs so much.

David A , Talk to your vet
Our daughters c-cker lost her back legs too, Her vet told her to wait a bit. it might be a temporary thing. She did regain her legs after a while.
Also I see a terrier walking around here in a little wheeltype thing carrying his back legs. he walks with his owners everywhere. Good luck with your
baby,k

Keri has a point there. Our bulldog Charlie lost his back legs too. We took him in to see Dr. Antonio in Ensenada who was able to prescribe meds that
did the trick. We opted out of surgery because of his age. His legs lasted another 3 yrs. before we had to put him down.
Good luck, we'll be thinking good dog thoughts for you guys.

Paulina,
I am really sorry for your lose. Upsets me that the vet did not address and attack the issue better. My buddy is getting up there and it bothers and
scares me terribly to know I am going to loose him within five years or less.
My thoughts are with you,
Bret

A sad day for Paulina
Paulina,
So sorry for your loss. Cora looks like she was a fun and happy doggie. You provided her with some great adventures and have some great photos to
remember her by. I know this is a sad time. I hope your memories will help you heal.
Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!

"Death is nothing at all...I have only slipped away into the next room... I am I, and you are you... Whatever we were to each other, that we are
still. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way you always used. Put no difference into your tone; wear no forced air of
solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever
the household word it always was. Let it be spoken without effect, without the ghost of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the
same that it ever was; there is absolutely unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an
interval, somewhere very near just around the corner...All is well."
