IN LOVING MEMORY OF...

BIS BISS Ch Emberstouch Ring O' Fire SOM LOM

My Codi was a once in a lifetime dog, his legacy lives on in his beautiful
wonderful children and grandchildren.

No words can express how devastated we are.  Codi was my soul mate, he meant
the world to me, and he raised me up during my most desperate times.  Having
to say goodbye to him for the last time was the most difficult things I have
ever done.  I wish I could express how special Codi was, but words can not
express his uniqueness or the bond between us.  His accomplishments were
special, but seem insignificant now that he is gone.  I would gladly give
them back for one more day with my special boy.  What I want you all to know
is that Codi loved life and expressed his love until the end.  I knew Codi
was special when I first looked into his eyes on the day they opened.  My
eyes were the first thing and last thing Codi saw.  I miss him desperately,
and I know within my soul, that someday I will be able to look into his beautiful dark eyes
again.  Until then, rest my love.
Codi was out of our first litter, our first Champion and he accomplished so
much more than we ever dreamed of.  His sire was Am Ca Ch Mephisto's War O'
The Roses SOM and his dam was our Ember, Ch Bravura's Spark At Emberstouch.
Starting his show career at his first dog show at 6 months, Codi took
Winners Dog at the Alberta Boxer Club Specialty, won Multi Best Puppy In
Groups, and finished his puppy career taking Best of Breed over Best In Show
Winners.  At 2 1/2 he started his Special's career taking Group 1 in his
first show back in the ring, he continued with consistent wins at the Group
level, won Best In Show, and won Multiple Best in Specialties, Multiple Best
Stud and Get Awards, won the Boxer Club of Canada's Top Sire Award two years
in a row, he won Multiple Awards of Merit, and at his last Specialty Show as
a Veteran; Codi Won an Award of Merit just before his 8th Birthday.  He
truly was an amazing Boxer who was always at my side. Codi was my total life
for the past eight years and 10 months.  We drove thousands of miles
together (my better half was never allowed to sit in the passenger seat if I
was driving because that was Codi's spot), we flew thousands of miles
together - never apart.

How I treasure each and every precious memory of our life
together, Codi will truly be missed forever.
