Legacy Boxer Rescue along with Humane Society of North Texas, Ellis County SPCA, Second Chance Boxer Rescue, Mountain State Boxer Rescue and One Tail at a Time Rescue is embarking on an important journey to get boxers to safety! Thanks to the combined volunteer efforts of these groups, we are going to make history with our first transport of boxers from Texas to the Northern States!! For anyone that regularly visits our website, and more importantly, our "boxers in need" page, you know that over the past several months rescues in North and Central Texas have been overwhelmed by the number of boxers needing our help. With over 70 boxers currently in foster care at LBR, we're simply too full to keep up with this boxer deluge. So, the volunteers at LBR decided to join forces with the above named organizations to transport a number of boxers to boxer rescues in the Northern states. Due to better spay/neuter laws in the northern portion of our country, these rescues are seeing fewer boxers in shelters, hence, they are able to help us out with our ever expanding problem of finding proper care for these boxers in need here in Texas. Beginning Sunday, July 1st, 2007, we will begin readying the chosen 9 boxers for their trip North. We will be picking up the individual boxers at their current location and transporting them to our "staging area". In the staging area they will be vaccinated against Rabies, groomed and given a clean bill of health for traveling by a local vet. On the morning of Monday, July 2nd, they begin their journey north. LBR has procured a diesel 3/4 ton pick up and well ventilated trailer for the journey, to assure these boxers are as comfortable as we can possibly make them for their journey "home".
LBR Volunteers, Melaney Munday and Amy Brown, have generously donated
their time off from their actual jobs to provide the driving force
behind this momentous transport effort. Never before has LBR attempted
anything so radical to help boxers in need, and we are thrilled with
the willingness of these other organizations to help us in our efforts.
We could not do it without them.
The Legacy Express road trip will consist of over 2,880 miles round
trip. There are several expenses involved as well such as truck rental
and fuel. The estimated cost for the total transport is $1,500.00. LBR
will be covering the costs of all
expenses for this transport. And, while LBR is on a tight budget
because of the 70+ boxers in our care who have recently needed some
very expensive vet care, including two Femoral Head Osteotomy surgeries
(for Dora and Andi), we feel that this is money well spent to save
these 9 boxers.
LBR would appreciate your financial support for the Legacy Express!
Please keep an eye on this site because our transporters will be in
touch with us through the entire journey and will be sending updates
and pictures all along the way.
Thank you for your continued support!!
All aboard!!!! |

Saturday was Brian's company picnic out at Sandy Lake Park. Kinda ghetto, but that's alright...we had a good time. Sandy Lake Park... the only way I can think of it is when the carnival comes to town... and stays. lol.
Then after bingo was the Potato sack races which Brain raced twice and lost by a toe! lol... Seriously the race was so close. Then after that fun stuff was the raffle for about 15- $20 gift cards, 10- $50 gift cards, 1- $70 gift card and 3- $100 gift cards. Well, we WON the 100 gift card!!! Along with the $20 card they gave everyone at the function... YEP~ i was so excited. Okay, Brian won, ... but We are going to use the car for something for the apartment so that means it's partly mine. ha. So after we were done with all the fun at the BBQ park of the afternoon we decided to take in some of the "rides" they had at the park starting with the bumper cars... it was fun, reminded me of being about 8 years old... Then after that we decided to take on something a little more intense (ha)
I took my dad to the Star Wars Exhibit for his father's day gift. It was insanely busy so we had to wait to tour the area... but in the mean time we checked out the cowgirl museum and hall of fame which was just BEAUTIFUL. I really
appreciate that they did such a great job with something that should be honored. They wouldn't allow any photos inside the Hall of Fame, but it was very beautiful. They building alone is something that just took me by surprise with it's beauty. If you're ever in Ft.Worth, PLEASE take the time to see the beauty in that building. Take a moment to honor some women who are often left out of the history books and stories told.
Now, that star wars exhibit... well, It was really neat. I didn't really think I was that big of a nerd until I nearly squealed when I saw Darth. Yes, I am my father's daughter. There's not much to say about the exhibit, it was very cool for a nerd like me and my dad! :)
I am beautiful.
I am in love.
He never calls me "big and beautiful"
I am just "beautiful, sexy, stunning..."
So are you.

work out and get healthy
... CHEERS to 2007 ... (even if it kills me).
So i've started going to the gym since the new years. I'm really determined to lose weight. i've signed a three year contract with Bally's Total Fitness and i've been going basically four times a week. One week Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday and then the next week Tues, Thursday, Saturday and then it starts all over again.
I've done really well with it all so far, it's pretty hard ... Im not gonna lie, but "full speed" running pace is most people at the gyms starting pace. lol. but ya know what? im doing the best that i can. It's been really fun with my nike+ ipod. I bought a work out from the Nike+Itunes, "improve your endurance 1- various artist". Let me just tell you HOW MUCH I LOOOOOOVE IT. I don't run on the treadmill right now cause it is just too much pressure on my knees and I've found I'm able to push myself more on the elliptical machine, the only thing that sucks about that is the millage and pace/calorie counter ect doesnt work cause I haven't synced it with that amount of pressure, it's synced with me running on the tread mill. I guess that's something I should redo sometime soon, but for right now I dont really mind. I do the work out and I dont worry about my pace or anything like that yet. I think for me the focus should be training my body to endure the workout to begin with and then worry about how fast im going and such. I really Enjoy the workout. The song to the left is the 1st "3min fast interval" song that you really have to push yourself and I love it! I'm "running" about THREE MILES every time I'm at the gym. The way the work out basically goes is a 10min warm up at a easy speed that you feel comfortable at and then a "3min fast" at 80% of your maximum heart rate and then you slow it down again to a faster than starting pace, but slower than your "REAL push". And it continues like that, I think its about 5 fast times.
"It may not have the dazzle of speed or the braggin right of power but endurance is the key to comfortable running --- and what runner doesn't crave that? Join Nike coarch and multiple-marathon cahmpion Alberto Salazar as he talks you through a 30-minute workout designed to help you run longer, farther, and with less effort. Album purchase includes a continuous coaching mix track (just download, play, and go), individual tracks of featured music to add to your library, and a digital booklet contaning expert advice. (11 songs & 1 booklet for only 9.90).
I've been trying to watch what i eat and trying to slowly change the way i've been eating. I've been making myself smaller portions of foods and watching how much butter goes into the things that I cook. Brian is SO INCREDIBLY supportive. He doesnt make me feel like i "have" to lose weight and never makes me feel like I am anything but beautiful, but at the same time he's right there beside me offering me water instead of beer or coke. The other night I didnt want to go to the gym at all and he let me throw a fit about it and then he hugged me and offered to drive me there, which i let him. Sometimes I act like a four year old and throw fits about stupid things, usually when im pmsing ( sorry if TMI there) but ... yea ... sometimes it happens and brian just loves me anyways.
he's amazing, did i mention its our 6 month anniversary today. that's exciting. we're going to dinner somewhere, it should be nice. :)
(ps, i get a freebie tonight on the diet... it's my time to celebrate)
Knowing you would tell me no lies
Our souls collided the day we met
I longed for love I had not know yet
The way I fit inside your arms
I knew I'd come to no harms
The way your lips fit unto mine
I've never known a love so kind
I'm here before you now
Giving all my life will allow
I'm not longer wishing on a star
Dreams come true with you
For now i know MY true value
i feel a love like this every day
The Queen
There are taller than you, taller.
There are purer than you, purer.
There are lovelier than you, lovelier.
But you are the queen.
When you go through the streets
No one recognizes you.
No one sees your crystal crown, no one looks
At the carpet of red gold
That you tread as you pass,
The nonexistent carpet.
And when you appear
All the rivers sound
In my body, bells
Shake the sky,
And a hymn fills the world.
Only you and I,
Only you and I, my love,
Listen to me.
so, tons of pics of Brian and Phoebe ... Phoebe ... Phoebe... Phoebe. then Lylie and Foster
