    bumps on skin

    Actually we just recently switched to the Cal. Nat. from Innova because we felt the Innova was making him throw up, we wanted to see if there was a correlation.

    bumps on skin

    Moab's developed several small and medium sized bumps on his skin over his entire body in the last week. They're his normal skin color, don't appear to have any fluid in them, don't seem to bother him in any way and other than being bumps, seem like normal skin. He's not losing hair on any of...

    Sensitive Stomach?

    So far, Moab's been doing well with the California Natural. I've been feeding him small amounts every few hours to make sure he keeps it down and so far, so good. He seems to love it as well as far as the taste. I'm sure it'll take a few weeks or months of being on this food to determine if...

    neighbor rant...need advice

    What a great way to handle the situation! My mom always said you catch more flies with honey than vinegar! It sounds like she simpy had no idea what to do but that, with a little guidance, will make a good dog owner. Who knows, they may not have even been the ones to buy the puppy. A well...

    Sensitive Stomach?

    Well, Moab's back from the vet after getting his last round of IV fluid and keeping food down successfully. The vet was pretty insistent that we start him on Science Diet I/D immediately but we politely told them we had some food at the house we wanted to try instead first. We bought a bag of...

    Sensitive Stomach?

    After a late night visit to the ER last night and several hundred dollars later, it seems Moab has a sensitive stomach / GI tract. Earlier this month, we had to take him to the vet because he started vomitting up his food for no reason. He did this twice in the span of a week (we feed Innova...

    I need help

    Wow! Saying you've got your hands full is an understatement. I'm 19 days away from my due date with my first child and I couldn't imagine having gone thru pregnancy with all of that going on! As for the housebreaking, I'd try bell training. Even though she can't hear the bell, she can...

    Housebreaking: WHAT am I doing wrong??? PLEASE help!!!

    You've been given some great advice but the one thing I haven't seen anyone mention that worked wonders for us was bell training. We literally had Moab housebroken in a month doing this and most accidents he had were when he rang the bell and we simply didn't get there fast enough to let him...

    exercise your Boxer in the winter?

    The laser pointer's a lifesaver for me right now ... that and a rainbow colored feather duster. Moab can't get enough of either and since not only is it cold, but I'm 7 1/2 months pregnant, he's not getting a lot of exercise right now. I used to take him for walks all the time, but once I...

    But mom ... you left them on the counter!

    That's what I couldn't figure out! The lid had one set of tooth marks on one corner, like he'd grabbed it and pulled it back in one smooth move. He's become very good at opening containers since we started taking leftovers to work more often and leaving the resulting dirty dishes in the sink...

    Cat Vs. Dog. Winner: CAT

    Our cat, Cleo, gets some kind of twisted pleasure out of tormenting Moab. She will occasionally wait for when he goes out the dog door, then sit in front of it and not let him come back in. He'll stick his head thru, she'll hiss and spat at him, he'll back out and try again only to be greated...

    But mom ... you left them on the counter!

    Okay, I haven't posted a funny Moab story, or anything for that matter, in awhile so thought I'd share this one. The Saturday before Thanksgiving was my baby shower and my sister and best friend came in town to host it for me. They made all the food (we did a brunch) and brought most of it...

    Is a boxer a protective breed?

    My grandmother has a Corgi (little dog) for a companion, but you can bet if someone came to the door that wasn't suppossed to, she'd be a good deterrant, if not downright threat. I agree with previous posters that it likely doesn't matter what breed of dog you have as much as the fact that you...
