Just had Odie weighed in order to purchase his heartworm meds and he is a whopping 72 lbs. at 10 months!! He doesn't look overweight - very lean, tall and muscular. Anyone to share their males weight at 10 months? Interested to see how he compares :) Vicky Odie - Fawn Male - docked...

I will be brining home a 8 week old Boston Terrier pup (female) in a couple weeks and am wondering what is the best way to introduce my 10 mo. old Boxer (boy) to her. Any advice? She is going to be so small and my boy is 65 lbs and loves to play :) I want him to get acquainted with her but am...

I am looking for any insight, advice, etc. on owning a Boxer and a Boston. I have a 9 mo. old Boxer who is just the absolute best dog ever. Very affectionate, easy to train, . . . well you all know how great they are :) I have found a Boston pup (female) that I am considering. I have...

Just had Odie (4 months) to the vet this evening, and he weighs 35 lbs. He has grown so much in the 2 months we have had him. He is such a great dog - first boxer and am thinking another may be in the cards in the future :) Vicky "Odie" 9/3/06

Odie's Nicknames In the short time I have had him, Odie has several nicknames: Odie Doodle Odie Doodle Bop Odie Man Odie Dodie Booger Boy My DH calls him the O Man. He seems to take to any name as long as someone is paying attention to him :) He just started to kidney bean a bit...

Ouch! I know how it feels . . . Sorry for your mishap. I had one myself this past weekend. Literally found out I can't run with the "big" dogs or the small ones. Was taking Odie (13 weeks) for a walk with my two kids down a blacktop road. He decides he wants to run, so I say what the heck...

Thanks for your insight! Thanks, Eileen, for your insight. I think there were several things that led this to be an unsuccessful interaction. We were in my home (Odie's turf) and the playdate with the bulldog was at my brother's home. The 8 week old boxer was very skittish (his owners just...

Update on Lump Problem The lump I found on Odie's shoulder on Sunday had not gone away (didn't seem to get bigger either) so I decided to call the vet. They wanted to take a look at it and after trying to asperate (sp?) fluid from it (which none came out) they determined by examining the bit...

Odie had a playdate today with a friends' 8 week old male boxer. It was at my house, and the 8 week old was very skittish at first. Odie, of course, was so interested in smelling, etc. and was a bit overbearing (he is taller and larger at 13 weeks) and kept getting on the pups back and...

My 13 week old just had his second round of immunizations on Friday. Today I notice a lump about the zixe of a quarter on his right shoulder. One of the shots he received was under the skin on his neck towards the right side. I am pretty postive the lump was not there on Friday. It doesn't...

Odie went to the vet today for his 12 week shots and check-up. I was very curious to know how much he weighed (DH and I were taking bets). Odie was the biggest of his litter and weighed 15 lbs. at 8 weeks when we picked him up from the breeder. The vet tech took him out of the room to be...

Hi everyone! I posted a few weeks ago as a new member but wanted to let you know that we brought our furbaby boy (flashy fawn) home today!! He has been wonderful. Sleeping like a rock at the moment - think the 2 1/2 car ride home and all the attention has wore him out :) He has been in the...

Thanks for the info - What is NILIF?? Jen - Thanks for the info! We are so excited about having him that hopefully we will wear him out and he will sleep well, but I know that the crying is to be expected. I plan to keep him in our bedroom at the foot of the bed in his crate so he will be...

Well, its down to 5 days and we go pick up our new baby boy! We are all so excited. I have been reading up a storm all the great posts on this site, bought Boxers for Dummies, etc. to prepare myself for our new addition. This is not the first time having a puppy, but the first time having a...

When feeding your puppy, do you wet the kibble or leave it dry? We will be picking our puppy up in a couple of weeks and this thought occurred to me while researching foods. I have read some put in a bit of canned food with the dry but haven't seen any posts about wetting it. Thanks! Vicky...
