Bella is petite for a boxer, I wonder if it's because all the treatment she went thru for her demodectic mange...she's definately strong enough for me! I have tried a halti collar etc, she just gets excited after a few minutes she calms down though...Bella hasn't eaten any butts yet, wheh! Only cat and rabbit poo! I hope it doesn't rain June 7th, but we'll be there anyway, why not? I want to see her swim in the ocean! She has swam in the Monocacy River and some streams on her own, not very pretty but she does the job!
