I need some advice! I have been to two vets now but want to check and see if anyone has experienced the same. My 8 year old female boxer had a huge lump come up on her front leg around her shoulder area. I thought she must have gotten bitten by something. I mean it was really swollen. Well...

I too worry about snakes. We have some property in Oklahoma and there are many snakes. We have not seen any but I know they are there. I have not taken my dogs the last two summers. It is first too hot and second I am afraid of them finding a snake. I am under the impression that snakes are...

I wish you luck with your crate problem. I never (thank goodness)has a problem with Rocky and crate training. I always made it a very pleasant experience. I never used it for punishment. I use to put him out in the backyard for punishment if I had to. Also, I would give him a treat for going in...

I really have enjoyed all the feedback on pinch collars. It appears most of you feel as I do about the pinch. That is that it is a good tool with a big strong dog. I also confirmed how I feel about it Friday night. My stepdaughter and I walked Rocky 85lbs and Sam 47lbs. Sam spotted a cat...

Diego, I hope Logan will be okay. Please let us know as soon as you find something out. I will be thinking about yall.:confused:

Count me in I am so excited and glad I have not missed the event. I have marked my calander and plan to attend. I live in the Fort Worth area and hope to meet people close by who can get together sometimes. I hope to bring both my babies. If my husband also comes I can do that. I am...

My Sam and Rocky have all the traits listed. Samantha does not lay on her back though. I am babysitting my stepsons male puppy and he too lays on his back. I am wondering if this is boy dog thing. My female lays with her legs behind her but Rocky does not. He is so big and legs so long I don't...

I have a female and male boxer. My female is not dog aggressive at all. In fact she is 8 years old and Rocky is 20 months old. Sam really does not care to be too close to Roc. I know she loves him but she is a bit stand offish. But, I have never had any problems with fights. She has always...

Okay, I guess you can call the new sort of good. Bear does not have scabies. If you recall my post yesterday regarding the boxer pup my step son and his girlfriend left for me to take care of. Poor Bear is not in good shape but, it could be much worse for all. He has demodex (sp) mange...

I have a white female boxer who is almost 8yrs old and wieghs 47lbs aprox. She looks great for her size. When my 1.5 year old was a pup she was eating all his puppy chow and got up to 51.5lbs. She was fat and did not get around very well. She has always been hyper and runs fast. Not then...

Thank you all for your response Thank you all for your responses. They really help to hear from others who can relate to what I am feeling. I don't want to be unresonable but this is really causing abit of a problem. Someone ask how skinny. I mean skinny. It is not just his ribs. His...

My Samantha got the same thing My dog Samantha also had acne. She was allergic to her plastic bowls and frisbee. I had to take her plastic toys away and get her new rubber ones. The Dr. told me to get acne medicine over the counter and give to her. Rocky and Sam's Mom

First, I have a vet appt for this puppy tomorrow. My stepson bought a boxer pup for his 16 yr old girlfriend. We heard about it after the fact. Long story short, this dog is not in good health. Step son and girlfriend went out of town and there was not anyone to take care of puppy. I said...

Thanks Vanessa, I wonder why the 2 different trainers I have used frown so much on them. One reason they said is it made them appear to be mean. I cannot remember the others. I always feel bad for using it but..like I said it works and Rocky does not seem to mind. Thanks for your feedback.
