Re: The dog thread
Boxers are such comedians , I love them , before we moved here I used to walk with two women , one had a boxer , the other a husky , the woman who owned the boxer was Vegan and had the dog on a vegetarian diet , she did it well and Barny the boxer was fit as a fiddle on the vegetarian diet until one day I had a pocket full of beef scraps from a roast meal the day before to use as dog treats , Barney just walked up to me and stuck his nose to my pocket , virtually weeping for the smell of the beef , it changed her mind on the spot about his diet as she had never seen him like that over food before .
Barny was really bonkers full of life and I remember her recounting a conversation with her vet when she had asked at what age he might calm down , the vet replied " boxers calm down usually 2 maybe 3 minutes before they die "

Re: The dog thread
Made a 17 hour drive yesterday to pick up a friends puppers that he couldn’t take to his new living place. Ten month old boxer pup. He is such a good boy, handled the 8.5 hour drive home like a pro and gets along great with our other boxers.

Re: The dog thread
Fml. As soon as we got Thor we also got a message that there are two intact male boxers that need a foster. These aholes are a whole nother level for us. They are marking everything and have got violent with themselves a couple times over nothing. The other 99.9% of the time they are super lovey and snuggly.
My cheap ass made them some dog tags instead of paying for them at Petco lol

Re: The dog thread
Sure you'll turn those bad boys round , our last collie took a little while to settle and she was aggressive at times , patience and a complete absence of anger , I've found that if I growl when they do bad they get the message best .

Re: The dog thread
This afternoon there was a disturbance next door , there was a dog crying , howling and barking , they don't have a dog next door
We do , we have three , one of them Em is in season
here she is in a post dinner coma .
Someone up our street was walking their dog off the lead past our house on the way home , it's a quiet dead end street in the countryside so no big deal usually , not today
the whole young male spaniel took one sniff and attempted a break in for some love
My wife loves to breed the dogs and we've had quite a few litters but this has never happened before , you do hear about boy dogs that run miles and over ten foot walls but we'd never seen one before , luckily our back garden is pretty secure
As it goes Em saw her boyfriend last Saturday so hopefully we won't be needing the attention of wayward Spaniels

Re: The dog thread
14 years with a full sized dog like that is a pretty good run. I know it doesn't help with the loss, but that dog gave you as much time as could be expected. That comes from both being a good dog and having a good family to care for it.
