    The aging Boxer

    My girl Sunny will be 6 in July we have noticed that she has slowed down a lot this past year. She used to run next to my bike and now she trots. She would jump up higher when coming up on the bed and now she just makes it. My Vet told me in December that she would start to slow down this...

    Discipline

    the "right" puppy food

    Digging

    I may have to try that! :eek: She escaped under the fence to go across the street and play with her buddies. She is a Boxer and always one step ahead of us. She is by far the smartest dog we have ever had, that is a good thing and a bad thing, but we do love her. Hap Sunny's Dad
