Half a Year

Back in the summer we got a look at Kirby as he was getting big. Well he's six months old and we have another update.

**********************

At 6 months he is “wide open” and full of mischief!!! He is progressing well after just 2 weeks of working on his separation anxiety with the assistance of the trainer.  We are  having daily “missions” and he is a good student.  He is the most hyper boxer I have had (and I though Murphy was bad)!!  But with time and patience I hope he will become a happy and well balanced boy!

Mz Petey's Gotcha Weekend

It's been a while and what better way to fire the blog back up then a big celebration? Mz Petey and her family wanted to share.

**********

Mz Petey came into our lives on October 3, 2005 when we adopted her from Boxer Friends in south Florida.  She was under a year when we adopted her but she came with quite a bit of emotional/physical issues. She’s come a long way in 10 years and has certainly made a big impact on our lives.

 #2 – She has learned to deliver subliminal messages such as “feed me” through her big brown eyes.

#3 – She is very attentive to rustling sounds coming from the kitchen.

#4 – She patrols the yard daily keeping us safe from the likes of opossum, armadillos and cats.

#5 – For the last 3 years she’s had a constant shadow who worships and adores her to the point of irritation at times.

#6 – Mz Petey has an inoperable malignant mast cell tumor growing on her side.  We’ve opted to let her enjoy her remaining days doing what she enjoys most.  We do not know how many days she has left but, for every one she does, she will be loved and cherished.

Looking For Foster Angels

Cookie sent us an update to post. She's so happy she wants everyone to be Foster Angels so lots of Boxers can be saved. If you are in South West Florida and might be interested in fostering check out the Boxer Rescue Angels of Florida website.

Cookie here! This week was more fun adventures for me. I now get in the car on my own. I had a playdate with another girl boxer. She was young and so much fun to play with. I would LOVE to be in a home with another dog. Any dog will do as long as they are laid back. My foster fur brother doesn’t like to play much but he lets me lay right next to him and I like to paw his face and give him kisses in the morning to wake him up because I love him.

My favorite thing to do is go on walks. Sometimes when we first go out I will lay down on the grass and you may think I don’t want to go anywhere but then I start rolling around because I am just so excited. I am great on the leash. I don’t pull. I like meeting new  humans on my walks but I like meeting dogs even more. I am just so friendly and everyone says how cute I am.

You KNOW you want to be a Foster Angel.

Paint me like one of your French girls...

Sadly, since I received this update Cookie's fur foster brother has passed away. While he wasn't a BRAF dog he was the foster brother to our first rescue and deserves to be recognized for the great job he did teaching Cookie that the world was a good place to be. Run free Tamaki, you will be missed.
