Rocky has a crib mattress that I got for free off of craigslist. The girl even gave him a mattress pad and a t-shirt type sheet for it. He ruined all those fluffy beds. And even better, it was free!

Thanks to the mod who moved this...I guess I was in the wrong forum. Anyway, thanks to all who have replied. It is heart breaking for me to find another home for Keena. I have called and left messages with almost a dozen no-kill rescues and all the messages end with me in tears. So, either...

Well, we have had a bad couple of days. Along with Rocky we also have an 8 yr old shepherd/lab mix. We have had her since she was a puppy. She has always been a bit aggressive. The older kids just stayed away from her and she stayed away from them. Well, then I brought Rocky home. He...

I really don't know the answer, but I'd be very interested in the responses. My boxer looks a bit different in the nose, also height and weight than others and it has been said it is due to "poor breeding", that he has a bit of something else mixed in, etc... However, he looks exactly like...

I agree totally! Mostly I think that dogs are a great judge of character. My Rock has only growled at one person, he would not let this guy near me. A few weeks later I found out he was a serious weirdo. Unfortunately he lives right across the street. Rock will sit in the dining room with...

Well, I have really been working with Rocky on his training and I am seeing a GREAT improvement. So, we are getting ready to have people over last night and dh says, "go lock up the dog". I was really offended and asked him if he could please try and show off his good behavior. Dh let him...

I just had to add my story about what happened last night. Well, When we first adopted Rocky I was so in love with him that I let him basically be in charge. Now, I am realizing the value of training and putting him in his proper place. Even dh has commented how great he has gotten in the...

Isn't that a lovely problem... My Rocky is 13 months and does this too. But, only when males are coming into the house. I try to take him onto the porch when they get there, tell them to ignore him and then let them go in before him. Hope it will end as he matures, but if not this...

I get that all the time, too. But, usually they first say, something about how big he is and then when they realize he isn't going to eat them they comment on how handsome his face is. Kerri- My Rocky looks very similar to your Odin. Any idea what he's mixed with? I am always trying to...

I am glad to have this info also. My brother is a runner and took Rock with him for the first time a week ago. He ran 3 miles with him!!! I won't do that again, I guess. But, you are right, he could've gone farther. My brother dropped him off and went out for another few miles and Rocky...

This happens to me and dh also. We have each always lived with dogs so when we got Rock and this started happening it was quite strange. We thought it was coming from where his paws would touch us on the forearms. Maybe it was something he had on his feet? Now that he has begun showering...

Hi, welcome to BW. I am new myself, look forward to chatting with you!

Just wanted to add the photo link: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/mrssuperspy/album (They are in the "Rocky Road" album)

WOW! Thanks for all the responses, you guys are great! I just love my big guy so much, wouldn't matter what he was. Jamie- I have had someone tell me he was a boxer/pitt mix. I thought the same thing as you. Wouldn't pitt make him shorter and stockier? I don't see that at all...

I guess it is the nose that had me. Thanks everyone! Tara, your girl is a cutie! They look just alike with their hips up in the air, gotta love the Cuz! Thanks!
