Hi everyone,
I've been lurking on your board for a couple of weeks now and I wanted to introduce us to you all. My teenaged daughter and I rescued Mieke (MEE-kuh) from Lone Star Boxer Rescue last Saturday. You can see a photo of her in my gallery. She's a small (50 lb) 2 year old fawn with a white chest and white feet. Right now, she's undergoing heartworm treatment so she lays around a lot and just doesn't feel well at all, poor thing. She's crate trained and sleeps there all night and goes in during the day a lot, too. This is our first boxer. We've done a lot of research and are working with a trainer. Before, we had a chow/shar-pei mix who was the love of our lives. It has been a year and half since we lost her and getting a new dog was a big decision for us. The timing is right because I was laid off recently and can be home with a new doggie while she gets used to us and our home.
Anyway, I've already got some great advice from these boards and hope Mieke and I fit into your family here.
