Thanks Colleen - Those two theories make sense, especially the one about the wolves. Thanks for looking that up.

Hi all, Does any one know why boxers circle and circle and then finally flop down when they go to lay down? Do all dogs do this? Cody jumps up in the bed and goes round and round and round, then flops down - Same thing when he goes to lay on his blanket outside on the patio in the sun. I...

Karen, I hope you are there too when the next storm comes around. We hardly ever have thunder where we live in Calif. but when we do it is a big deal. People talk about it and are fascinated by the lightning and thunder. Our first boxer was afraid of the thunder and came running to me at first...

C.G. probably thought he had to protect you from those unruly rascals. A little story: Once my husband had our previous boxer Chopper off leash in an area by a little lake, pine trees around, scrub brush, so on. And wouldn't you know it Chopper tried to check out a porcupine. He got about four...

Oops! Just realized I did not post to the poll properly... This is how we learn ........

Cody has had separation anxiety from day one. We got him when he was 9 weeks old. He had flown on a plane with his brother at 7 weeks from Idaho to California. His mama remained in Idaho. We have had to crate him from the start as he immediately starting being destructive... answering machine...

Colitis/IBD and I once had a boxer that had severe colitis. Once it was diagnosed we ended up making him hamburger and rice which we sprinkled vitamins from the vet on. He took sulfasalazine 3 times a day and 1 5mg prednisome. He never did have solid waste but he gained weight and was a happy...
