shastadaisy
Boxer Buddy
Hello!
I'm so glad I found this web site! I don't yet have a boxer but my fiance and I have been planning and preparing to get one. We would like to first get a girl and name her Shastadaisy (Shasta for short). We just think they are soo cute and match our personalities. We recently bought a house and one of the must have's of the home we were looking for was a big back yard to play with her in and there's a lake near by to take her for walks around or an occasional swim.
We've also been reading up on how to train and care for your boxer. The only thing holding us back right now is that we don't want to leave her home by herself all day while we are at work. She would be home for at least 8 to 9 hours and I just can't bare to do that to her. Especially when she is a pup. I know it's not possible for me not to go to the bathroom for 8 hours so I don't expect her to either. I know some people go to work and leave their pets at home all day but I also read that boxers shouldn't be alone for more than 3-4 hours at a time. I guess that might be different if we got another one to keep her company.
If anyone has any suggestions or ideas for us to handle this situation I would greatly appreciate your feed back. We've been wanting one of these beautiful dogs for sometime now and can't wait to give her a loving home.
Thanks!
