EAO76-Sorry for not responding sooner. I just logged on today for the first time in a while. No huge update, though I did speak with a local trainer yesterday who told me she wants to help and will forward info about Taebo to a bunch of other local trainers, as well as posting Tae's info in...

DSmitty-Thank you SO much. Have you had any luck? I am getting pretty desperate. I tried to take Taebo to someone else to keep her for a bit, but she freaked (it was a kennel setting) and I just couldn't leave here there. We had to make her a place in the garage (she has multiple beds in...

Johann-Thanks for the response. There are 2 Boxer rescues in my area, but neither is likely an option. I know that both are full. Taebo cannot stay with my dog sitter anymore (after tomorrow), so I've been desperately trying to figure something out. No luck yet. I have been in touch with...

Thanks to you both for your replies. I wish this weren't the case, but we know for a fact it is allergies. We had our little girl tested. Additionally, Taebo has been living with my dog sitter for the past 6 months and LOs red, teary eyes (and other symptoms) cleared up pretty quickly, once...

Let me begin by saying I read the rules for this forum and hope I didn't miss anything, or misinterpret them. I have a huge sweetheart of a Boxer and I am devastated to find myself in a situation such that she must be rehomed. My little girl is allergic and my heart is broken. I have been...

I did not contact the 2 NC rescues, but I think they already know about the dogs. I received notification of them through the local Boxer club. The NC rescues are pretty plugged in, as well.

This just breaks my heart. There are 4 Boxers in the Lincoln County animal shelter in NC. Two are brindle, one fawn, and one white. All male, except for the white girl. They are purebread and sweet. The brindles and fawn look to be semi-flashy and the fawn has somewhat cropped ears. He's...

This is a hoax/urban legend! This information is actually inaccurate. It's an urban legend that's been circulating for over 2 years... http://www.petcaretips.net/swiffer-wetjet-cleaning-product.html

I wanted to chime in, as well, that I have several friends who've done IVF and had twins. Both friends ended up with a girl and a boy. I don't know how manh times the tried. I also have a friend who tried everything and finally gave up. A couple years later, she wasn't feeling well and went...

After two years, I just recently decided to banish Tae from the bed. I loved cuddling with her and feel awful, but I was tired of the dog hairs on my sheets. Since it's still cold, I went out and bought a "throw" sized electric blanket. I put it on top of Tae's bed and turn it on when I start...

Brian--here's a thread I posted last summer when Tae hurt her tail: http://www.boxerworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77667 Maybe it will be of some help. Tae acted a bit funny and kept looking back at her tail. Since this episode, she's whacked her tail on the door frame/wall again and...

Some success! OK, so I must report that yesterday evening I bought an electric fleece throw blanket at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It was $35 before my 20% off coupon and the nice lady that rang me up informed me she'd bought one just like it for $20 at Wal-Mart back in Dec, but it was the last one...

The fleece blanket in the dryer is a good idea. I think the key, though, is something that will be warm all night. Once the warm blanket cools, Tae will likely be back in the bed--probaby when it gets really cold about 3-5 AM. I did plug the heater thing in two hours before bedtime. I put...

OK, OK, I know everyone's probably laughing at the title of this thread. I started allowing Tae to sleep on the bed when I adopted her two years ago b/c she was waking me up in the middle of the night and I was an exhausted new Boxer mommy. Naturally, she feels it's where she belongs now. As...
