Last night for the 2nd time in as many months, Austin just stood up and started peeing. and he peed and he peed.....i took him outside and he peed and peed more. Doesnt raise his leg...just stands there peeing, like he is sleep walking. First time he did this, he had just laid down for maybe...

hi everyone, I think I have licked my wounds long enough...you may remember me last year (I'm Austin's mom in NC) I tried adopting a sweet boxer girl Jazmine and it didnt work out ...well it wasnt a good match for me. I kept her for about 6 weeks, hoping it would / could work out, but it was an...

I have been working with my new girl Jazmine on the same thing. I have made rather good progress with having Jazmine sit and pay attention to me...when she is giving me attention instead of kitty...she gets a treat....it is now week 3 and when she goes after kitty...I call her...tell her...

Austin wouldnt touch a Kong before his sister Jazmine arrived. Nothing seemed to spark an interest for him Peanut butter would dry up and actually flake off and cookies would go stale before he would eat it . Since she cannot have rawhides and has a special diet I fill the kongs with a canned...

I tend to stick with plants that come back every year weather they are periannals or annuals that reseed...I agree Hosta has to be at the top of my list. For summer I have to include 4 O'clocks and morning glories. My 4 O'clocks have reseeded themselves the last couple of years and were one of...

I would also be interested in more information on this as well. Austin is pretty good as far as not steeling food, but coffee is another thing, I dare not leave a cup of coffee sitting with my back turned for a second or he is right in it. I dont understand the attachment to coffee, he doesnt...

I have found regular household cleaners/disinfectants dont get rid of the dog odors. I use Simple Solution for regular cleanups and also use it when I shampoo the carpets. I use lots of it. probably twice as much as I should but I dont want doggie odors in the house. And a friend told me she...

So letting them just play it out is not encouraging bad behavior? Last night I tried to get them to play tug with a toy, that lasted as long as I was holding the toy with rope legs. I am sure what I am seeing is just natural dog play, but it sure does go on for a long time and it is very rough...

Jasmine and Austin are having a ball playing together BUT....they play constantly...very hard....very loud. They nip at each other constantly and are in each others mouth all the time. So what do I need to do to calm them down. Or will they just play out after getting use to each other? (...

congrads on the new addition to your family and welcome to BW. you wont be sorry to get a rescue. actually I think they are the best, but then I just got my 2nd rescue last Friday night. :D there is tons of information for new parents on this site. I belive someone has already mentioned to use...

Hi, Its mom here , I see my Deamon Child has been at the keyboard and shared the news before I had a chance. So I'll do the update. This is day 3, Jasmine has had a difficult life and is now left with IBS ( Irritable Bowel Syndrome) She has been so good, not one accident in the house, but I...

Hi, My name is Austin and I just wanted to tell you I finally got my Christmas present " a new boxer sister". Mom is doing the dishes and I have sneeked in here to the computer so I can tell all you guys about her. They call her Jasmine and she came here for the 1st on Thursday night to...
