I Spy With My Boxer Eye is a poem that tells the story of our Boxer dog, Ginger as we traveled and moved our children throughout Texas as we were going through life changes. We got her as a puppy when we had retired, were experiencing empty nest, our children moving and getting married and having children of their own. Our family has traveled throughout the great state of Texas; the Desert and Mountains, the Hill Country, the Coastal Wetlands and the Great Plains and Prairies; and our Ginger has been an inquisitive explorer in all the many landscapes we have had the joy to visit and live. This is her story in poetry form and the extraordinary illustrations that bring her story to life.
