Maggie's Getting Better So far so good everyone. As you all suggested, I switched Maggie's plastic bowls with stainless steel and glass. Her right side is completely healed and the left is getting better. She still scratches on the left, but it's always after the cut starts to heal, so I...

Mean mean people I agree with JoAnn. I think boxers are the sweetest, biggest, goofiest dogs - but if I didn't have one or was generally afraid of dogs - Maggie would be a bit intimidating. There are people in our neighborhood who are terrified of her, eventhough she is a big baby. I guess...

Interesting idea. Maggie has one of those feeders that hold the dog food underneath the two big plastic bowls. We thought it would be better so she would not have to bend down so far to eat - and it's great storage for the food. We even got it personalized. I would hate to get rid of it, but...

Well, to be honest, I don't know what "flews" are... but she is scratching at the part of her jowls that is right along the outside gum line. She also itches around her collar, but very rarely - sometimes I think she doesn't like the thing. The vet gave her for her hives was benadryl and...

People ARE crazy Been there and done that! We live in an apartment complex that also has some offices. I had Maggie (4 years old and the love of our lives) on her leash in the elevator. A man got on at a lower floor and automatically threw his gloves at maggie and raised his hands at her...

RE: Puckers I could not imagine how you are feeling right now. I will keep you, your family and Puckers in my thoughts.

Lovely Maggie has issues. A few weeks ago we took her to the vet for her seasonal allergies. Then she had a few accidents around the house (thank God nothing was wrong, now we are on to something new. Maggie has been scratching at her jowls that they now constantly bleed. We have put a vet...

I had replied to Julie a little earlier and told her we were just at the vet a week ago and everything was perfect. A part of me thinks she is doing it for attention, but I have to remember that she is a dog and not human (although with her attitude, you would have to second guess that one!)...

Our lovely Maggie, 3 1/2 years old, has now had three accidents in our apartment in the last three days. Once on our couch (I was NOT happy), once after dinner and again in the middle of the night. We walk her three-four times a day (morning, lunch, after work and bedtime) and monitor her...

We love our Maggie more than anything and feel like she is our baby... but it would be so nice for my husband and I to sit on the couch together without her either barking her brains out and play bowing or better yet, climbing on top of us and not budging. We both love to pet, cuddle and love...

Thank you so much for your help. The sites you gave us were very informative. We took Maggie on the elevator twice last night and once this morning and although she was a little hyper (she now sits in front of the closed door and scratches it), she had no accidents! We just love her dearly...

Thanks for the suggestions. We usually try to keep her nice and calm while going to the elevator. Once we are in there, I stand and tell her to sit and stay (which she really tries to do. She is good until someone gets on the elevator with her. Then it's all downhill from there! Are your...

Help! My boxer is three years old and is afraid of everything! She freaks out and cowers at any loud noise. The worst part is she is petrified of the elevator in our building and she urinates every time! I don't know what to do! Help please!
