    Could I please get your opinions, I'm beside myself.. (long)

    It wouldn't let me edit my post... If you are not satisfied with the vet's response, then you should definitely find a new vet!!

    Could I please get your opinions, I'm beside myself.. (long)

    I'm so sorry for your loss... When you feel better and maybe aren't quite as upset, you should let the vet know... if I was the owner of a business, I'd want to know. Why no condolences, I don't understand. I've had to put a cat down and I rec'd a condolence card, b-day n Christmas, too. It...

    Putting Paws On You

    Sweet Pea doesn't but Cadence does!! I can push her big ol' head off me (slobbers, uncomfortable, etc) and flop it goes back down on my leg. If it's not her head, she touches me somehow!! They both follow me everywhere...

    Doggy Lessons?

    I'm sorry you were frightened, but I could just picture that and I laughed out loud so hard!! My girls (I consider Cadence mine, but she's not!) make me laugh so much. They are so funny and cute. If I shut my front door, so they don't bark at people walking, cats, birds, or just nothing, they...

    For Boxer Moms (and Dads)

    CatCrazy56 said: "That was sweet I know we are all dog crazy but that poem could apply to our skin kids too!!" I was thinking the same thing!! I had skin kids and cats LONG before I fell in love with dogs. (Sweet Pea had me at 'hello') But, oh how I know that feeling now!! My kids are...

    Doggy Lessons?

    Since Cadence (and her Daddy) moved back in with my family, she and Sweet Pea have taught each other so much. Not always good things. Cadence has been a toilet water drinker and of course now Sweet Pea does it. Cadence knocks over her food bowl and eats off the floor.... yep Sweet Pea does it...

    Riley and the window--Warning!!

    OMG, me too This has happened to Sweet Pea, too. The first time (yes, unfortunately it was more than once) SP was in the front seat with me so I caught it quickly, but second time she was in the back seat. Poor baby. Two different cars but the window buttons are in the same place (chrysler...

    I need ideas/help... (please)

    One thing that helped me decide on breed... There was a quiz I took (don't remember the website... I think I found it thru google) about the best breed for your family. I *thought* I wanted a jack russell terrier... ACK!! Way way too hyper for my family. (me, in particular) Dogs are all so...

    Do people think your weird?

    Oh, Sandy's Dad, whata hoot!! I laughed!! Prior to Sweet Pea, they were all "just dogs" to me. My hubby went on and on about Boxers and how wonderful they are and yadda yadda yadda.... I thought he was fullofit!! Oh, then we rescued Sweet Pea. What a change in my thinking!! Now even her...

    Aww, I know what you mean.... it's like someone being critical of your skin kids... all the same, aren't they? I can point out my pets' and kids' shortcomings... but by gosh nobody else better!! Gets my hackles up!! Sweet Pea is a dainty little boxer, she's very small. We get the "what kind...

    is there a 'game' your boxer plays?

    When hubby n I first go to bed at night, still watching the news, we will move our hands about under the covers. While we make noises scratching at the sheets, SweetPea will get all excited trying to dig out the "critter" She paws at our hands under the covers and bites at them (oh so gently...

    Need Info Re: Age

    I've searched the forums plus other search engines and am unable to find information to answer my question. As previously stated in introductions, Sweet Pea is a rescue. However, instead of a shelter, we found her on the 'net. (I wasn't looking for a dog at the time, either!!) A local family...
