    Today is the big day!

    Update on Zeus!! Hey everyone.... I just wanted to give you all an update. He ended up having to stay the night :( He came home yesterday morning and was not himself at all. He just laid on the couch all day, he wouldn't even eat or drink. I felt horrible for him. This morning he was up...

    Advice Needed: Backyard Waste Management

    I was just thinking about that same thing. I hate picking it up regardless. This does look like a good idea though......at least this way it doesn't have to sit in the trash can until trash day. Hmmmm.....I might invest in one after winter. I had never heard of anything like this until now...

    Omaha Nebraska Boxer Owners?

    Dog Park? Where exactly is the dog park in NW Omaha? Is it fenced in? I am very interested in him being able to play with other boxers/dogs his size. We also have a Beagle at home, but she really doesn't like to play at all. Zeus just got neutered today though.....so he is out of commission...

    Today is the big day!

    The vet just called me and he is out of surgery and doing good. They told me I can't take him home until tomorrow at 9am. Does anyone else think that is strange since no one is at the vet all night? Just curious. I am going to see him in 3 hours......I can't wait! Thanks for all your warm...

    Today is the big day!

    Well, I just dropped Zeus off at the vet to be neutered and microchipped. I am going to visit him after work today and hopefully they will let me take him home. We will see though. I really don't want him to have to stay there if his surgery goes well.

    Calling all flying boxers!

    I would recommend you going commercial with your dog. You can normally get pretty good airfare from Germany. When I flew 2 dogs on Delta from Germany I believe it cost $600 for 2 large kennel spaces and then of course my ticket. It would be a lot easier on you and Dozer I am sure. At least...

    Does anyones boxer bark at the broom??

    Zeus attacks the broom, mop, lawn mower, any type of yard tool, the shovel, sprinkler, hose and the hair dryer. He also believes he needs to kill card board boxes for some reason. That just started at Christmas time. These are all awful things to have around him.

    Calling all flying boxers!

    I was stationed in Germany and brought a female boxer back to the states with me. I flew Delta and decided to fly her on the same flight as me that way we would get to the airport at the same time. I flew a cat on a animal charter and had a lot of problems. He got held up by customs in...

    full time job and puppy

    I got my Zeus when he was 10 weeks old and I was in the military at the time (working 8 hr days). I crate trained him and I came home during lunch to let him go potty. I would feed him 3 times a day once in the morning, lunch and dinner time. I never had any problems with him going potty in...

    Biting Hands???

    thanks, I will have to try that stuff. I think I shall go get some today. The toy thing doesn't work that great he will just spit the toy on the ground and go back to the hands. Thanks for the advice.

    Biting Hands???

    My Zeus thinks hands are a chew toy. Everytime I am doing anything with my hands (movements, typing, carrying items like paper towel rolls) he attacks my hands. When I tell him know he puts his butt up in the air and does a low pitched growl at me and then barks and goes after my hands again...

    Jumping on guests-ingnoring won't work

    I have the same problem with Zeus. He jumps up so high he is eye level with anyone that comes in the house. We had someone come in to talk to us about windows yesterday and I put his leash on him. It takes all of my energy to get him to sit and calm down. Once he calms down a little bit he...

    Calling to all male boxers

    Zeus is almost 13 months old and he always lifts his leg. I have to be careful when he goes out with our beagle because he tends to lift his leg when she is walking past him and you guessed it she gets a pee shower. So gross!!!
