Hi, I have a 2 1/2 wk old baby girl and have some questions about what are normal reactions for boxers around children. When Macon sniffed Leah's dirty diaper the other day, she started humping. And then the other day when I squatted down while holding Leah, so Macon could sniff and check her...
In the late summer/early fall time, Macon had a HORRIBLE reaction on her neck and we're pretty sure it's from the weeds (environmental allergies) because she gets something just about the same time every year. The poor thing scratched it so bad, her neck looked like raw meat. It was awful...
Our vet told us to give Claritin (we use generic brand for Loratadine) and since most of them are 24 hour pills, I give 1 or 2 per day depending on how bad her allergies are. You can also give Tavist, but be sure it's not Tavist-D. Benadryl doesn't seem to work as well for my babies either.
If...
If they don't know his background, I wonder why they think he's not good with kids. Maybe just because he's a boxer puppy and a little rambuncious? Hmm I don't know. A lot of people don't know that boxers are great with kids usually. I would be curious if he is full blooded boxer or not, which...
We feed the Natural Balance Duck/Potato and the girls love it! We've fed the Natural Balance Venison/Rice in the past too. If you have a PetCo or Pet Supplies Plus near you, you should be able to find it easily. Good Luck!
Yeah another Feb baby!! Do you visit any of the preg. websites? I'm on the Feb board of pregnancy.org if you're interested in checking it out. It's a great place to meet people going through the same things as you. I also post on the Birthing Naturally board on pregnancy.org too.
Thanks for...
I FEEL for you!! My golden mix has had horrible allergies for the last 5 years (she's only 6) and Macon (our boxer) has allergies but only in late summer/early fall and we did the food elimination trials with her in the past, so we think wheat is a culprit but we aren't sure.
My advice is to...
Hmmm so I know Macon is going to "claim" many of our baby's toys (we're due in 5 wks). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to avoid this? Are there any things that are "supposed" to work that you've tried? Just curious.
I've already started pushing buttons on toys and making them play...
Hi everyone! I don't think I've been on since October :( I've been on bedrest for the last 4 wks. DH and I are trying to narrow down our baby girl's name. We are due on Valentine's Day.
Please give me your opinion on the following names.
Macon's little kid sister needs a name!

Hi Jen! Long time no post, I know :( I completely agree with you. We won't be taking Angel (my golden mix) to the dog park anymore because she's decided she doesn't like some dogs and I don't want her snapping at someone else's dog. What idiots! and then he left his dog with someone else knowing...
Update!!
Hi everyone, I'm 17 weeks tomorrow and we'll find out in 2 weeks if we're having a boy or a girl! I am so excited and can't wait to see our little baby on the Ultrasound. We're having it at the hospital so both of our moms can come to the ultrasound too. Since they had kids in the 70's...
You and your family are in my prayers. I had a miscarriage in April at 8 weeks and was spotting/cramping the whole time too. I got pregnant again in May as soon as we were able to, so there is hope. I am 17 weeks tomorrow and I'm sure I'll be nervous the whole time about losing the baby, but...
Donna, sorry to hear your babies were eaten alive by mosquitos! Macon gets lumps from the bites too. I'm the same way. I'm looking into what we can put on them that isn't harmful. For now, my vet said we could rub the mosquito wipes on them that you can buy for kids. I did that last summer and...
