    walk easy harness is great!

    Easy Walk Harness I purchased a Gentle Leader Easy Walk Harness today for Harley a 70 pound male boxer (and need I mention the love of my life?) I wish I had purchased this item months ago.

    Home Alone...

    I feel so fortunate that my 14 month old Boxer "Harley" is left uncrated in the house for 7 hours each day. He has been doing so for the past two months. He is such a devil when we are at home, however; he has not destroyed anything in the house while we are at work. I leave lots of toys...

    Kiddie Pools

    My 7 month old Boxer (Harley) loves his kiddie pool. At first, he was reluctant to go in and used it as a large water bowl. Over the course of a week, with some coaxing and mom playing in the pool with him...he has learned to like it! Try putting a kong in the pool. I add two each day and Harley...

    Mange will go away! My Boxer (Harley) was diagnosed with Demodex Mange when he was 5 months old. Our vet (who also owns a Boxer) recommended Mitaban dips. After 6 dips (every two weeks) the mange was gone. After much research and several conversations with the vet, I decided to go ahead and...

    from bad to worse

    Demodex My four month old Boxer (Harley) was recently diagnosed with Demodex. I would agree that it got worse before it got better. Our vet opted for an antibiotic to ward of any infection and Amitraz dips. Harley had his first dip last week and is MUCH better. He returns on Tuesday for his...
