How old are your boxers? I had to put mine down when she was about 8 years old.

Well, both gone now sadly. Daffney made it a little past 7. Evander a little past 10 which I keep hearing is good for a boxer. But he was healthy as an Ox and then suddenly WHAM and 4 days later I was putting him down. Hit me pretty hard since I didn't have time to really prepare. But average for boxers is around 8 which is really lame.

I think that's kinda why I've been posting his pic here so much lately is I still haven't really taken it in. But it makes me happy to see everyone elses babies and how much they love 'em. For a while I thought I was the only crazy one

Sorry Shoes, noob question. But they are hunting dogs right? All so beautiful. Unlike boxers who even at the AKC website states...


"...Boxers are known for their excessive flatulence".


And mother fuck is that right on the money. PEEEEEEE EWWWWWWW!!!\ (especially after a McD's mushroom & swiss burger)

Your dogs seem more petite. Like they know well enough to leave the room before they cut one.

[Sensible Shoes]

LMAO.

Yes they are hunting dogs. Some moreso than others, MacKenzie once pointed 20 birds in a hunt test - Emily wants hers delivered on a silver tray.

As for the flatulance, Nelson was known to peel paint off the walls with his.

Emily did that during the 2009 national - right before she WON.

lol

I love when they scratch their feets like bull about to charge. Then they run away from it as fast as possible.

I just love this pic. So freakin' sweet!

[Sensible Shoes]

Thanks Sparkie. I lost him just a year ago at age 12. My heart dog.

Sadaist, you wouldn't want another boxer, would ya? Someone left theirs at a semi-local shelter. Poor thing. His name is Sammy. He's 8 and terribly depressed. I know he's across the country, but there are networks that transport animals to new far-away homes. Hell, I'm trying to adopt a kitten from California. I know it's strange, but he had some special needs and his adorable face just tugged, or more like yanked, on my heartstrings. I probably won't be able to get him, but I just had to try. They didn't say no...not yet, anyway.

Speaking of which, today, via FB, I heard about a 15 y/o cat in LA that was left at a shelter because her owner had to be put into a nursing home. She was down to her last few hours before she was to be euthanized. I had a contact via the kitten I'm trying to adopt so I sent word to them. Within 45 minutes, they had her. So sitting at a laptop all the way in SC, I played a small part in saving the life of this kitty in California. FB isn't all bad

I wish I could. I am currently between residences and the nights I choose to save the $50 motel cost and sleep in my truck aren't very pup friendly.

There is also a boxer rescue place in LA. They have a page for their seniors. So sad. A lot of dogs were just left at foreclosed houses when the people got evicted. Just left to fend for themselves. Horrible.

One of my Daffneys nicknames was MOMMAS DOO. I'll show you why.....
