Gretta was vomiting blood yesterday. Took her to vet. Had X-ray done. Today they tell me they see something in her pelvis and also felt something on rectal exam. They think her bladder is in the pelvis because they don't see it where it should be on X-ray. They are now recommending ultrasound...

Our newest addition: Gretta

Happy New Year to all my fellow boxer lovers. I haven't been on here in a while. 2013 was a difficult year for us. Filled not only with personal issues but our beloved George( our brindle boxer) passed away in August. It was so incredibly hard to say good bye to my best friend, and even now as...

I totally know what you are going through.Last year we thought we were going to lose our Boxer George. Our vet thought he had DM but turned out he ruptured both of his ACL's. We spent major money to fix his knees, hoping to give him the ability to do the things he loves to do and be comfortable...

name Thanks Kandi I love this name! You picked a winner! Good luck in your search for your boxer baby. Max is our 2nd boxer. He is now the baby brother to George who is 7 years old. George has brought us so much love that we decided to add another one to the family. Keep us posted.

Our boxer is a male who is 11 weeks old. We call him Max. We need to come up with his AKC name and I did want to try and incorperate his parents names as well. The dams name is Swampy Meadow Lacy and the sires name is King George Von Harvest. Any suggestions?

We brought our 11 week old brindle male "Max" home this weekend. I need to come up with a full name for his registration. Any suggestions?

update.... things are settling down. Max actually laid on his back in front of George which makes me feel so much better. Submissive is good!! We had a quiet moment without the kids around and George actually laid next to Max on the cushions outside. It was very cute. Then Max turns it all...

I need some advice. We brought home our new boxer baby last night. We have a 7 1/2 yr old brindle and now this 11 week old brindle. George (our older dog) seemed very interested but Max immediatly started growling at him. We have Max in a crate and George actually slept right next to the crate...

re:surgery Just wanted to let you know that our George ruptured both his ACL's and tore both of his miniscus. We decided to go ahead with the TTA surgery and he is doing wonderful. He still has a lot of rehab ahead of him but his spunkiness is back and hard to keep him quiet!

Looking for any suggestions to help us introduce George (our 7 1/2 yr brindle boxer) to the newest addition to the family,Max (a 10 week old brindle). We are picking Max up next Saturday and we are all very excited but nervous about introducing George. Also,any suggestions about traveling with...

prairie food I just recently switched George to the prairie dry food,using the beef and barley. He really enjoys it and eats it up! We switch foods frequently as he gets bored and won't eat-my vet does not agree with this and says I have now conditioned him that if he doesn't eat his food, he...

I am looking for any suggestions as to how to solve our smelly situation! Our dogs(we have 4 of them!) have their own fenced in yard. We pick up the "poop" regularly and my husband tills the dirt and puts lyme down,but the urine smell is still so unbelievable. Does anyone know of anything I can...

Hi Angela, George is very picky about his food and we have changed from so many brands-against my vets advice. When George was about a year old we switched him to Canidae which was fine for a bit,then he stopped eating that and we went to wellness. Again he became picky and stopped eating that...

Our George is really not left alone too often as my husband and I work opposite shifts. But there are times when he is left alone-sometimes it has been 8 hrs and he has freedom of the house. He spends most of his day on the couch as he is the ultimate couch potato! He also has access outside as...
