"They say that Boxers can hear things under the ground like bugs and critters and such moving around, is it possible that what she is doing??" Jaxon, I know a lot of times this is what Berk is doing because of where she is wanting to dig and it being a mole mound - she does have a great...

Love the sand box idea! Never thought of that. The holes will get MUCH bigger. I have to replace the dirt when she digs in the wrong places and they certainly aren't small. She can have a hole you can trip/fall into in less than 3 minutes. Just wanted to say thanks for the sand box idea. I...

I am curious what resposes you get from everyone. Berkley is 9 months old and LOVES to dig (especially when she smells a mole hole - we live in the coutry). My husband thinks that I shouldn't let her do it (his thinking is that if she is ever in a fenced yard she will try and dig out). I am...

Thought I would add that I have tried laying on the ground so that she would be curious and come back (I think I read that here somewhere) which works until I move to get her and she bolts, tried the long rope, tried making a triangle of my kids, husband and I with a ball (which does work...

Berkley has a problem with come. She just turned 9 months. She will sit, lay, stay, you name it (in the house or on a leash) but REFUSES to come when we are outside. We live in the country where she has so much room to run but I can't take her out but on a leash because if she gets it in her...

Berkley has this "thing" about standing over other animals and us when we are laying in the floor. She is not being aggressive at all and I am taking this as she is trying to be top dog but I am wondering if I should start correcting this now? She just turned 7 months old and it's something...

Ok so we went back to the vet today to get Berkley checked out for a discharge (yellow) and frequent peeing and drinking. She is 17 weeks old. I haven't been so worried about the discharge as I have read about puppy vaginitis on here but was a little more worried with the drinking and peeing...

Just wanted to say hello and welcome. I am new also and have learned so much. Congratulations on your new baby! You will love her/him! My baby has stole my heart. We have 3 kids 19, 16, and 6 and Berkley has just fit right in (2 boys and a girl in the middle). Your boys will LOVE her/him...

Just wanted to say hi and welcome. We are new and from Texas also. What did you name your new baby? My baby is Berkley and she just turned 4 months old. Can't wait to see pics of your new baby :-) Best wishes for your family and your new baby. PS I noticed you have a chihuahua. My...

Just wanted to say welcome and thanks for the welcome. :-) I still haven't figured out the smilies - lol. You mentioned being from Texas. How is your Sonia liking the weather and the SNOW? I know it was like a week and 2 weeks ago but wasn't that crazy (we got 9 inches the first snow)! I...

First off, I love her name and she is beautiful! I am still new to the boxer world with my baby but have had many cats and dogs spayed and know how you feel. In my experience with the other animals they feel fine within a few days. Hope she does too. Wishing you two a good weekend. How old...

I just wanted to thank you all again and apologize for so many questions. I have learned so much from you all. I hope my questions aren't too much. I do research on here constantly. I am either in the kitchen on the computer when she naps or on my phone when she's a crazy girl - lol. I...

Thanks to both of you for your help. I will go ahead and switch her while we are just getting in to the dry food. I am wondering which one to start her on as there are sooo many choices. Does it matter? I looked for a puppy formula at my feed store and didn't see one (every other kind but...

LILYLARUE, I can't thank you enough for all your help. You are great! My question this morning is... (sorry for so many questions - still learning). I have fed it in 3 feedings and this morning she had the most normal looking poo yet (it had shape and color - didn't know I would ever be...

Thanks so much for the help. I saw the TOW and knew in the back of my head that was the one I should have tried (they had so many to choose from I wasn't sure which one to try). Problem now is I already started the chicken soup. I purchased it this morning and have started feeding it to her...
