thanks thanks for the response - i just read about hyperthyroidism in dogs and she doesn't display any of those symptoms. i will watch her though. thanks

My boxer is a little overweight and can't reach some parts right now to clean herself. The inside of her hind legs (where they meet her belly) and around her "private parts" is looking black/dirty. I have tried washing her with her usual dog shampoo with a wash cloth in the bathtub with no...

Lily before we knew her

Just wondering where to get the best deal on Lily's heartworm, etc. protection. I have been getting it from our vet each month. Not sure if there is somewhere online or at a store that is a better deal?

Thanks for all the advice. On Friday I showed her the pedi-paws first and she sniffed it, then I turned it on and let her check it out. Gave her a treat. Had her sit and give me a paw. I gave her a treat. I would then touch the pedi-paws to her toenail just so she could feel the vibration...

I'm Lily's mom. My family and I have a fawn boxer named Lily. She is affectionately known as Lily Bird or Lily Bumpkins. She is a year and a half old. I did not know that she would be such a part of our family, not just a pet. I think it is so funny to read everyone's posts - Lily is just...
