Sorry about the lack of update this weekend. I had grandparents visiting. My grandpa is 84 and my grandmother is 76 and they have been divorced for over 20 years, but chose to come and visit at the same time! :eek: They get along much better as friends though so it was a great weekend.
Miss Bea continues to do very well. She is eating great and has been trying to push boundaries and walk more than she should, but as long as she has company to snuggle with she is good. This gives us all an excuse to snuggle with her! lovicon At the moment she is barking at Coco Kitty who had the audacity to drink from the designated dog water bowl! Crazy cat! She should be shivering with fear at the ferocious sounds coming from Miss Bea (think chewbacca with a little Tasmanian devil mixed in & a wagging nub!) Coco however barely glances up from the water to acknowledge the puppy on guard. :rolleyes:
Chula met Bea this weekend and it was not very good. :( Chula has very little tolerance for an injured female pup and was quite snappish. Bea was oblivious to this and wagged her nubby and tried to initiate play, but Chula was having none of it. We ended up keeping them separate as the tension was making Rocky defend Bea and I did not want to start WWIII in the house.
My grandfather who is NOT a dog person right away made fun of me for all my dogs (I see you added another one of those ugly flat faced dogs to your house). He says this with a twinkle as he enjoys driving me crazy. By Sunday he himself was taking Bea out and when she would not settle down he volunteered to park his rear on the couch so she would have a body to cuddle with and rest her hip! Yeah, he is a sucker for a flat face too! :p
Thank you guys for remembering Miss Bea! 1 week of post op recovery down, 3 to go!

Thank's for the update. I am sorry they are not getting along better, howver it seems as though Rocky has fallen in love and is quite the gentleman. I searched your previous posts and it seems as though Chula is your parents now? If I am correct on that one, Miss Bea should do well. I am so happy to see how well she is doing.
ps Gramps is not fooling me.

Yes, Chula is with my parents. Chula gets along very well with Rocky, though she and Mia have had their scraps. Maybe it is the female thing, who knows. Mia & Chula are spayed and Bea will be soon as well. I am a peace loving girl and just wanted to see them all get along. I think this will be an end to taking my pups to my moms during the day once summer ends.
My grandfather doesn't fool any of us with his rough act. He insults Miss Bea as he gently strokes her hip and tells her to let him know when she is ready to walk outside :rolleyes:

I am so glad that Bea is starting to feel better. Pretty soon your house will be back to normal again. Thanks for all of the up dates...Linda

Uh, huh. I am not buying that "not a dog person" act!! It sounds like little Miss Bea has touched yet another heart. I think she has found a special friend in your grandfather. That is so sweet.
I cannot WAIT to see the thread when you tell us Bea has had her first boxer burn!!

Hello All,
Miss Bea is so sweet. She has one of the sweetest temperaments and is full of kisses. She is making friends with the kitty's finally and has so much sparkle in her eyes now. She wrestled on the floor with Mia over a rope toy. They were making ferocious open mouthed noises and Bea paws Mia right in her face! Mia is loving having someone her size to play with. She better enjoy it while it lasts though! This girl has already grown and has a lanky look right now.
I got a follow-up call from the boxer rescue today. They wanted to know if I was planning on keeping her. So I confirmed for them that yes she is in her forever home now. This gentleman on the phone did seem concerned that I was planning on having her spayed so soon. He went on for quite a bit about the dangers of anes on boxers, I told him I knew of the dangers of ACE, but he said it was all anes. He advised I should wait to spay her until she is fully recovered. He also stated that the rescue does not like to spay dogs prior to age 6 months. So know I am wondering if we should have her spayed quickly or not. She is still very young and there are no dangers of her breeding since Rocky is already neutered. Guessing her age to be at least 5 months I wanted to make sure I have her spayed before she shows any signs of heat. What do you guys think? More to worry about :rolleyes:
We are finishing week 2 of post op care and she is now standing on all 4 legs and putting light pressure on her injured leg while she walks. She is still sleeping a lot and I am going to try to cut her pain meds down to every 8 hours instead of 4. She has shown no discomfort and I think she should be off the pain meds by early next week. My neighbor is on love with her and brought over a tub of cream cheese as an excuse to visit with her. She says if she did not have a temper mental cat who marks the house when a new animal is introduced she would take her off my hands. I let her know she can borrow Bea, but I kinda like having her in my hands, no troubles really!
I will try to get some new pics posted this weekend.
