🌸 In Loving Memory of Daphne 🌸
Daphne came into our lives as the best 30th birthday gift, and what a gift she was. From the start, she was full of energy, personality, and that unmistakable Boxer spirit. She kept us on our toes with her “full-on puppy play” — leaping up with all her strength, mouthing and biting our toes! and reminding us time and again, “that’s a Boxer thing!”
Despite all the training, rally, agility, and countless playdates, it was Daphne’s quirks that truly made her unforgettable. She became her dad’s faithful work-from-home companion, always ringing her special doorbell during conference calls — so much so that colleagues knew her by name: “Steve, Daphne wants to go out!” And of course, she never missed a chance to press her button for her beloved peanut butter paws.
Daphne wasn’t just our dog — she was Ellie and Evie’s protector, friend, and part of every school photo. She guarded the garden from pigeons with her low grumble, and even kept watch on hot air balloons floating overhead. Birthdays brought out her playful side as she happily chased balloons, nose-bopping them with endless joy.
She may have started as a whirlwind of puppy energy, but she grew into the most loyal, loving best friend we could ever ask for. Daphne brought laughter, love, and light into our family, and though her paws no longer patter around the house, her spirit will forever remain in our hearts.
She was also the heart and inspiration behind Happy Paws & Chores — the very reason our business began and the proud face of it ever since.
Run free, beautiful girl, until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge. 🐾🌈💖
P.S we are keeping Ted and friends safe for you. xx
Thank you so much to friends pet crematorium for looking after our girl and bringing her home. Everything is so special.
