Please say Hello to my newest pet a Boxer named TheGreatest!
This pet is special for several reasons.
#1. I grew up in the same town as the Champ.
#2. My Dad was/is a huge fan, he loved Boxing and Ali was his favorite! He met the Champ on several occasions around town and once sat beside him on a plane. (My brother has the hat Ali signed for my dad framed in his shop.)
#3. My Dad also has Parkinson's Disease. He was diagnosed several years ago. People like Ali and Micheal J Fox have helped draw attention to this terrible disease.
I feel I have lost so much of my childhood with his passing. I will never forget that grin and his famous "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. You can't hit what you can't see !"

Awesome!! What a great reminder of some very special memories!! So many of my pets have special meanings also - it's why I can't quit my kids accounts (even though they have) - there are so many great memories wrapped up in them!!
