    Pet Peeves

    Corporate goons who abuse words like leverage, utilize, paradigm, etc. Like nails on a blackboard or chewing on tinfoil to me. How this lot doesn't get laughed out of the company I'll never know.

    24/7 Unsupervised Access to a Dog Run?

    This is great. Thanks for the info everyone. Some of the risks mentioned won't apply. We'll put a lock on the gate. It's more rural than suburban and there won't be any kids nearby. House and run are set far back and not visible from the road...... Just had a bright idea, I may get an...

    24/7 Unsupervised Access to a Dog Run?

    We're building a dog run for the fellas and the BH (better half) is going back to work this fall. I'm wondering what kind of idea it is to let the guys go out to the dog run when we're not around. The alternative is crating for the 7-8 hours we'll both be gone and that sortta gives me the...

    What pays the bills?

    Computer programmer. I do those horrid applications that ask you to press 1 for this and press two for that on the telephone (ducking virtual rotten fruit and vegetables being justly tossed my way). Quite a few of you have probably talked to my handywork. Meh, it's a living. Cheers, Dave

    Boxer bashes in New Jersey?

    Burlington county (after moving this Saturday) checking in. We've been to Freedom Park in Medford and loved it but haven't met up with the Boxer bunch yet. Should have an acre fenced in this spring or summer if anyone's up for a trip to Edgewater Park. It'd be a hoot to host a Boxer Bash and...

    Many thanks to the BW community - from a new boxer dad

    We decided to get a dog about 10 months or so ago. Didn't know that much about them beyond the ASPCA dogs we both had as kids so we read a bunch of books, talked to folks, went to dog shows, and all that. Learned a lot and settled on boxers when one came up and gave my wife lots of boxer kisses...

    ever fallen asleep at work?

    Guy in the cube next to me was snoozing a couple of months ago and some of us saw him. We started speaking in clipped and hushed tone in his cube about what sort of pranks we could play and various and sundry other wise cracks. A few more folks saw what was going on and joined in. When he woke...

    Excessive Panting After Play

    Thanks Becky. He didn't get lethargic and may have had a lot to drink. It was a pretty cool night at about 70 degrees. I'm thinking he just really gets into this and the combination of the mental and physical causes him to overheat a little. Thanks again.

    Excessive Panting After Play

    Louis regularly wrestles for hours with his buds at the dog park and goes on a 2 mile walk almost every day. Fine after both activities. Recently we got a laser toy and after playing with that for 20 minutes or so he takes about a 1/2 hour or more to calm down which is pretty long for him. A lot...

    Hey From Croydon, Pennsylvania

    Hey Gang, Just got our first dog since we had them as kids 20-ish years ago. Our first non-ASPCA mutt. Neither of us knew much about dogs before we (ok, she) did her homework and Boxers quickly went to the top of the list. Saw a few at a dog show in Harrisburg a few months ago and that, as...
