If it turns out to be the bag of food, the place you got it may exchange it. Best of luck! Owen is eating like a champ, but has had two or three barfys in the last two or three weeks. I thought it was an empty stomach thing, so I started giving him a biscuit after I get home, but today he...

I use an ear cleaning solution from the vet that smells like melon and cucumber. It fits the cat well, but Owen smells like some big muscle bound boy who went to the spa :D . I use cotton balls, but I'm going to try the little disks next time. Cotton balls don't hold up well...

Yes, I heard about the bulldog too. He was the latest. The cat was a couple of weeks ago. The bulldog's shots were only like 4-5 months past due :eek: ! I'm so glad that Owen got his shots last month.

The rabies case with the cat was actually where my Mom lives in Davie. This scares me to death. The owners have a bunch of stray cats that have been dropped off there over the years, and the never vaccinated any of them! They started getting them done after the first one came down with it...

As for safety, I did put mine on the end table again this year. It is very helpful. Be sure to read those links the moderator provided. There is gooooood stuff in there. On a Christmas related note, a few hours after we got our Christmas tree last year, Owen's face got puffy. I thought it...

Every time I get stalked, I make sure to tell people Owen is a rescue. I am a total boxer stalker myself, so I love when it is reversed :D ! sgbtab I live in South Florida, and I take Owen places all the time. I am selective though. Mostly we go to PetSmart, fast food drive through, the...

I love to point out to people who complement Owen that he's a rescue. I'm hoping it will save some lives one day :) .

I rescued Owen at 1 year, and he'll be 2 in a few days. He knows: sit, down, stay, come, shake, ask nice (beg), hup (jump into car), jump jump (jump a hurdle), back, out, kennel, go lay down (on blanket in bedroom), leave it, off, no cat......oh and crawl. I'm going to try the spin thing...

Owen is also only allowed blankets with supervision. He distroyed several, and I got worried about obstructions. He is all muscles and bones, and he does fine with an unpadded kennel. He does get a fleece blanket to lay on at bed time (not in kennel.) He doesn't chew it smashicon . I...

Owen has escaped about 3 times in a year. He doesn't even try most of the time when his crate is in its normal place (living room.) However, we went to visit ex-BF's mom and took Owen with us. He escaped his crate once and did no damage. Then he pushed out the bottom tray, moved the crate...

Yeah, that's us. Maybe Owen and I aren't different in ways other people/boxers can see, but we are different. I've been saying lately that it's a good thing Owen ended up with me because most people wouldn't deal with what it deal with to be with him, but I guess it works the other way too...

Thank you gmacleod! Correct and complete information is always helpful. I'm going to save the link in my favorites for future reference :D !

Please don't Throw Things. I'm going to be the unpopular one here and say that I mostly agree with the ban. I hear about all these ear cropping stories and taping puppy ears just to get a certain look. I think it is cruel and selfish. I am glad that Owen came with a nubbin, but if he had a...

If I'd had any money, I'd have been at PetSupermarket in 10 minutes! Unfortunately, I'm totally broke, with no end in sight. I keep telling everyone that Owen's birthday is in April and he needs presents too :D :lol: :D ! So next time he gets one, how long do I keep it before I through it...

If I could do it over again, I'd have saved more for vet bills. In the first/last year Owen has: eaten fire starter pine cones ($100) Stomach thing ($100) followed by Allergic reaction #1 ($200) reoccuring penis infection ($75) Allergic reaction #2 ($100) Eye infection ($50) I'm...
