    We're getting a new girl!!!

    Wonderful! Keeping fingers crossed here that all goes as well as expected with Apollo and Cami's first meeting! He'll be so glad to have a sister and companion. We adopted Iris earlier this year. She came from the same place as Cami! They could even be related! She is a great companion...

    Fostering after loosing Duke...

    We did that After we suddenly lost our beloved boy, Remo, to a spleen tumor in January, we started fostering. It has certainly kept us busy and the void was not so noticeable. We still miss Remo and talk about him and his antics. But we have now adopted Bob - and Iris - after fostering both...

    Boxers Sharking?

    Chewing the Drumstick Ah, yes, the sharking thing... When Bob wants Iris to play, he starts nibbling at her back legs. We call that "chewing the drumstick". When we have to lure them away from the water bowl due to prolonged drinks, we say "don't be a camel". Carol

    emaciated boxer

    Just say yes And then learn all you can about this poor guy's needs as you go along. Our Bob is a rescue who came from the same type background, bait dog for pit bull fighting. We know he went through heck in his previous life due to several scars on his front legs. But he has the...

    Pet-Friendly Fertilizers?

    It took awhile... ... but we did replaced the grass ourselves over the course of a few years. In fact we will just be going to get the last load of rock for the backyard this coming weekend. I'm sure a landscaping company could do it quicker - for the right price. The dogs love it and so do...

    Pet-Friendly Fertilizers?

    How about eliminating the grass? We decided a few years ago to take all the grass out of our fenced backyard and replace it with a stone patio, garden paths and planting beds with ground cover. Less to mow for one thing. And its a very natural environment for the dogs. We grow vegetables...

    Your given one magical chance to ask your boxer something, what would it be?

    Just one question? Bob: How old are you? (Rescue whose teeth have been filed; he's probably about 3 or 4 but he acts anywhere from 1 to 6!) Iris: Do you have a raptor in your family tree?

    shampoo

    Yes, we did meet at Petco, Monica. And isn't this a fun place? Hi, Teressa - our Bob is about 3 - also from rescue so we don't know for sure, especially since his teeth were filed down by "humans" he knew in a previous life. He's now an extremely happy, short, brindle guy with natural ears.

    shampoo

    Bob gets a dog shampoo with a product I buy from Origins. Also, did you see the recent thread about Listerine/ Keri Lotion/ Water to spray on/ wipe off - supposedly good for doggie odor? Bob tends to have dry skin and dandruff so we've cut back on baths - even though he loves them. Joyce P...
