    having a baby

    Congratulations!!! Personally, I haven't met a boxer yet that didn't adore children. We have 3 older children, our youngest was 1yr when we brought Maggie home at 7wks of age. Babies are a whole different ballgame and I wasn't sure myself how Maggie would deal with our new arrival this past...

    Hip Displaysia!!!

    I'm just mortified. My little girl is only 20 mos old and has severe displaysia of the left hip. Thankfully its not both, but just thinking of that x-ray makes me cry. As a result her knee is also showing calcification at the joint as well. I've had her on synovi for a few months now, but...
