Introducing Keela

A while back, New Years Eve actually, I announced to the BML that I had a new fur niece. I was so excited and I still am.

My sister keeps an eye on the classified ads and generally if there is a Boxer she will try to connect them to Boxer Rescue Ontario. Not this time, this time she called for herself. It took some time, a bit of back and forth, but eventually this little fawn girl who went by the name Tequila moved in.

She brought along a few things of her own, like her green sheep, but much of what she has is hand-me-downs. Her collar and leash belonged to Kate and/or Spencer (probably Spencer) and I'm sure they would be pleased.

One very special special thing about wee Keela, she has a natural tail. Isn't it cute as she plays in the snow?

Some of you may remember Paddy from a previous post, well Keela and he have reached some sort of agreement that allows her to use him as a pillow. Sorry this one is a bit blurry, my sister has a hard time holding the camera still when she's laughing.

It's a good thing Paddy is ok with that because who would want to sleep like this all the time?

Finally, my niece took this last one. It's kind of a follow up to some she took of herself with the Brindle. She captioned this one: "One should probably be jealous of my dog, its only natural."

Remember This?

Back when our friend Dale was with us updating his webpage on a mostly daily basis one of my favourites was his posts of his Boxers scootching. Usually they were offering up tips on the most effective methods. I don't know if the Brindle ever saw any of those but here he is showing off his own technique.

Minnie Boxer

We have many members of the Boxer Mailing List that are foster homes for their local rescue. One of them, who works with (the real!) Second Chance Boxer Rescue out of New England, sent me some photos of her current permanent foster.
*****************************
Minnie was used as a breeder and not spayed until almost 10 years of age!  Before the rescue spayed her, they had to have the vet remove a bunch of tumors.  Some were cancerous, but most not.  She still has loads of granular tumors, but nothing is bothering her at this point.  In some of the pictures you can see a harmless tumor on her lower side.  We do not fib to any potential adopters so no one was really interested in her.  Because she gets along so well with the other dogs I decided that she could stay and I don't regret it one little bit.  She is a very sweet girl.
