Thanks Gunther for all the info! After reading your post, I think you are exactly right… I have one jealous dog and one resource guarding… not a good combo. And hence, they don't respect us as pack leaders. I know a lot of that comes from how much we have spoiled them and let them get their...

Thank you Kisaq! You definitely gave me something to think about. I don't know that I would have thought about it that way… that Oscar could be resource guarding and Zoey could be reacting to that behavior. As far as me ever noticing that he guards his food from us… I haven't noticed...

We need some opinions and advice on our boxer buddies' episode! We have a 2 year old female, Zoey. She is spayed. We have a 1 year old male, Oscar. He is not neutered just yet, but will be getting neutered very soon. We had Zoey first and brought Oscar into the home as a puppy. They...

Thanks Boxer Mommies! Thanks Gatorblu! I did not realize that the foam could cause such a serious problem. I will take your advice and start taking her bed up when we are not able to supervise. I do not want to go through that again! PS I had read your post that night I was posting...

Zoey is back to normal! Thanks everyone for your replies. Zoey is fine. Not exactly sure what her problem was. It could have been just an upset stomach. But my husband thinks that she may have had something lodged in her throat. The emergency vet called several times checking on her...

Could anyone help me out? I came in this evening and my 1 1/2 year old female boxer, Zoey, was fine. I gave her a few slices of turkey meat and then some dry kibble... maybe a half a cup of dry. She did seem like she was eating quickly. She finished most of the dry and then started to...

Hello from another sweet boxer from Sweet Home Alabama!

We are going on vacation and will be gone 5 days. This is the first time that we have to leave our precious boxer girl. We are dreading it! We have an 8 year old Lab also. He has been left before and knows the routine. We are trying to decide if we want to leave them at home and have my...

Zoey's Recovery!! Thanks everyone for all the advice and well wishes! Zoey's surgery went very well. It was funny... when we picked her up from the vet... she came out and was so excited to see us. She was doing the kidney bean and everything! We were thinking... hmmm... she doesn't...

Thanks Susi! Thanks so much Susi, for sharing Cami and Raine's experience with me! I was just so curious to know what to expect. I didn't want to panic if she acted really different. I know the vet will advise me when I pick her up, but I wanted to hear from another boxer lover what...

My little Zoey is getting spayed today. She is 7 months. For some reason... I dreaded doing it, but knew that it had to be done! She is getting the laser procedure, which is by far the best way to have it done!! We dropped her off this morning. We get to pick her up around 4:00 this...

Thanks for the ideas! Thanks LilyLarue for your post! I have to say that is one creative game! I am definitely going to try that. Sounds really fun to watch! Zoey is a huge sniffer. I think she will really dig that game! And thanks larrygs for your advice on the frisbee playing. I...

Hi. This is our first Boxer! She is 7 months old. I was wandering if anyone could give me some ideas on games to play with her. We want her to be very athletic... like maybe play frisbee with us. We have begun to introduce her to it. She is really more interested in "chewing" on the...

We too have our first Boxer puppy! We too have our first Boxer puppy. We have a 7 month old female. We brought her home when she was 8 weeks. She has been a very good puppy so far! The only thing I could complain about, is we went through two doggie beds with her. She would tear them to...

Hi. Does anyone have any input or experience with my situation? We have an 8 year old male labrador. We lost our female lab back in October. That is when Zoey joined our family, a female boxer. She is 7 months old now. We are considering adding a german shephard pup to the mix. We...
