Sometimes there is no accounting for the way the Boxer brain works. Sometimes it's funny and mostly it just makes us love them more. Ask Petey's mom.
Miss Petey, our rescue boxer mix girl, is afraid of the oven. Yes it is
all my fault as I have set off the smoke alarm a few times in the past
when I use the broiler setting. I have not done that in a long time and
I am trying to get her not to be afraid every time I turn on the oven.
Lately I have not allowed her to "hide" by the back door in an effort to
show her there is nothing to fear. However she still tries to get in
as small an area as possible and, last time, I found her crammed into
our Chihuahua's little bed.
Back in December we adopted another little Chihuahua we named Jack. He
came to rescue as part of a hoarding case in which an old man had 27
dogs in his house. He was never adopted from animal control due to
being extremely timid and unsocialized. He was supposed to be
euthanized but the guy with animal control took a liking to him and
begged Doggie Paws Rescue to take him. That is where we found and
adopted him. I like hard luck cases especially those that no one else
wants. Jack has come a long way since we adopted him but I really think
it is because of Miss Petey. As you can see he just loves her and
wants to be near her as much as she will let him.
That is so cute - the picture of Petey in Jacks bed is priceless. And it is so sweet that they sleep together.

Kudos and boxerhugs to you for reaching out to Jack. Lucky dog!!
ReplyDeletePetey is gorgeous! And ... there's just no accounting for their fears and phobias. As far as I'm concerned, she can be afraid of the oven all she wants ... I am, too! (At least that's how I explain that I don't ever use my oven). ☺
ReplyDeleteThese pics are so cute. Hope Petey can over come his fear of the oven in time. And it is so cute that he is in Jack's bed :) Bless your heart for taking on the unadoptables :)

What a cute couple!
ReplyDeleteSo funny to see Petey stuffed into that tiny little bed; and so sweet to see her snuggled up with Jack on the big one... Maybe Jack was trying to take it over in case Petey decided she liked his bed the best!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful story and relationship...and a beautiful person who took them in
ReplyDeleteAwww.... they are so beautiful, loved the pictures!! They are just soooo fortunate to have found you!! Makes my day, while it's so sad to see them so afraid and timid I'm so glad people like you take time for them and adopt them and help them!;)
ReplyDeleteShe is a beauty and Jack is so little and obviously loves his big sister. Love the pose, too.
