names names names We've got 2 males named CRASH and BOOMER, which suit their personalities very well. We've also got a list for our future male boxers which includes Ezekial, Sampson, and Pharoah (yes, my husband is a minister). I'm currently searching for the perfect female name because...

bye bye little girl Mom and Dad, I cried when I heard the news and I cried even more when I read your tribute. Daisy was a wonderful girl with wonderful parents. I can't even begin to imagine life without Crash and Boomer... and I dread the day I have to go through what you went through...

Our second son, Boomer, was just diagnosed with hip dysplasia. He's 11 months old now and the vet is recommending surgery. My parent's boxer did very well with the surgery, so we are planning to go ahead with this in the next few weeks. My question is what type of experience have folks...

beds We've had similar problems. Crash loves his foam-stuffed fleeced padded Walmart bed and they wash pretty easily. BUT, Boomer has ripped up 5 beds in 8 months!! So, we recently discovered the Comfort Zone lambskin bed from JB Wholesale Pet supplies. Its a double layer of fleece-like...

To all you North Carolinians out there.... I don't know if your bash ever happened in October or not, but I'd love for us to get together another one for early spring. Did you all ever find a cool off leash place to meet? We're in the Winston-Salem area and would be willing to drive up to 2...

bathing We bathe our way too much, I'm sure. But, I'm a neat freak and can't stand dog smell (hence my current post about smelly feet). Crash is 1 1/2 and weighs 85 pounds, so there's no way to hoist him into our tiny bathtub, especially since he HATES baths. So, we hose them off in the...

north carolina Anyone out there interested in a gathering in North Carolina? We've got 2 boxers and know of 3 others from our church here in Kernersville, just east of Winston-Salem. Shannon

Does anyone else's boxer have a problem with smelly feet? Crash and Boomer spend several hours outside each day when the weather is good and no matter how many baths they get, their feet stink! We often wipe off their feet before they come in the house, particularly if its muddy, to...
