So, we have our Lola, a white boxer who's about 4.5 years old and we love her to death. Best boxer ever - I don't care what any of y'all say. :) We're thinking about getting our Lola a new friend. We recently took in a toy poodle from a family memeber who's situation was such that the poodle...

Update I just got back from the vet. I had my 3y/o son with me so I didn't catch everything that was said but here goes... The vet looked at the lip and said that dogs under 2 and esp. boxers get this little button growth sometimes. It's benign (sp?) and usually goes away after a couple of...

Well crud - it appears that vet's also like to take vacations. ;) So I can't take her in to her usual vet until next week. I'm going to swing by another place and have them just give it a cursory look and see what they think.

Ok - thanks for the info. I'm going to schedule a visit to the vet in a bit. I'll post back the results. Thanks

There's a lady in our neighborhood who feels it's acceptable to let her cat roam the neighborhood and the cat is less than friendly. We were in the garage of our house and this cat came up and scratched Lola on her upper lip - just to the right of her nose in the whisker section of the lip...

Is it normal for my boxer to be overly interested in her own poo? I've caught her having a little taste on more than one occasion. It's somewhat disturbing and I've not seen or heard about any other dogs do this before. I keep the back yard kept up pretty well so it's not like she's out of...

We've had our Lola almost a week now and we noticed that she doesn't have a nail on her left front leg where the thumb nail would be - the pad is there (tiny, but there) and the thumb nail on the right leg is kind of poking out in an akward position. It got me to wondering if I should worry...

Update!! So we had our house visit yesterday and it was immediately clear what a beautiful girl Lola is. She sniffed around and checked everyone out and proceeded to give lots of kisses to my kids and then us. She was so sweet to the kids and so very relaxed around them. Not nervous at all...

Very excited for tomorrow! :) Yes - we're going to meet our (hopefully) Lola tomorrow. We're so excited. We have so many questions to ask the foster parent but from all indications, she's going to have a new forever home soon. :) My wife goes crazy with pics of our skin kids (and anyone...

Thank you all so much for the advice. We have been contacted by a local rescue with a white boxer who has been socialized with kids and other animals. I think we're setting up a meeting to meet the dog and we'll definitely be bringing the kids. This particular boxer is about 14 months old, so...

Well - it looks like we're going to start the process of adopting "Lola". She's a white boxer almost 18m old. I think we're going to be meeting her soon and hopefully the home inspection will come soon after that and then Lola will be our first 4 legged kid. :) She's just about the age of our...

Too bad for us... Well - it looks like Lola is going to back to her original owners in Cali. Hopefully they won't just give her back up there. If they don't then that's the best thing for Lola. So - that means we're still looking. There is a rescue (the Cali based one that has a branch in...

I applied yesterday for Lola I think we found the dog that we'd like to adopt. There is currently an adoption pending on Lola. It's back to the original owners. They had to move from TX to CA and thought they wouldn't have the room. So, it'll hopefully be good either way. If that falls...

I didn't - his previous owners did. He had a thing for Greece.

Thanks all! Thanks all - actually, I hadn't even considered the Boxer breed until my wife pointed me to a white boxer girl that she found on Petfinder. It's not a boxer rescue, but it's still an adoption. I really do want to work with a person or group to help find the right dog with the...
