He bought him with birthday money his mammaw gave him. He gave Justus up to us when he was 6 months old. We feel fortunate that we have such a great dog! I will never have another breed of dog. BOXERS RULE!!!!! Bio: I was born on July 5, 2003 on a hot summer day in Texas. My breeder is from Colleyville, Texas. My breeder named me Chief because I have a white arrow head on the back of my neck. Since I've grown up it looks more like a duck head in flight. My fur mom & dad are champions, but I'm just a champion in my family's eyes!! Larry found me through a trainer he called to get information about Boxers. She referred him to my vet Colleyville Animal Clinic, who referred him to the breeder. That was my lucky day!! I hope the rest of my litter got such great homes! Because I am one Lucky Dog! Forums Motto:
On January 5th 2012 I passed over the bridge. I am writing this to you from Rainbow Bridge. Yup, I am gone to Glory, no more pain, siezures or falling, no more walking in circles!!!!!! I am running free chasing the butterflies with all my furiends who have gone before me.
Oh yes, they were all here waiting for me when I crossed over. I looked back and saw my pawrents crying and telling me goodbye. I don't really understand why they cry, it is really nice here!!
I'm at the Bridge,
we must be apart.
I loved our time,
with all my heart.
Goodby my furiend,
my paw I lend.
To you & yours because,
YOU are SPECIAL to me!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I really did it this time pups!!! I stumbled myself right into the pool!!!
Here I was pups, minding my own business, meandering around the yard while Mom scooped poop. When all of a sudden I made a big splash in the pool. I began kicking my front paws & going nowhere fast!! When I heard Mom scream my name.
OMD that scared me and I froze & went under the water!! Mom jumped in as I was spread eagle under the water!!! Mom pulled my head above water, she was calling me and telling me to breathe!!! I opened my eyes and saw her face, she was pulling me through the water & telling me it is gonna be ok, just breathe. We sat on the pool steps for a couple of minutes then Mom helped me climb the steps to get out.
So we loaded up & went to the vet. The vet said that I didn't have any water in my lungs. And on Wednesday I will be going to a vet specialist. He will figure out why I am stumbling so much. I have been stumbling for a couple of months now. Mom hadn't taken me to the vet yet because she needs a ramp to get me in the new SUV that I HATE!!!
Mom's phone was in her pocket when she jumped in the pool, so it is ruined!!!
BTW getting me in the car was a whole other drama!!! She finally had to get the steps I use to get up and down off the bed for me to get in the car....but I tell ya pups I didn't want to get in that big ol' thing!!!
More later - ttyl pups!!!! {:+)
Well here we are more than half way in 2011!!! Wow where does time go??? I turned 8 years old on July 5th and I am feeling my age. I am much slower than I used to be, but it has been so darn HOT here in Houston this summer!!! Mom is hoping that my listlessness is caused by the heat. I don't get walks during the hot part of the summer, it is just too hard on both me & mom. I don't like the pool, so there is no cooling off there for me. That leave the a/c inside = I'm lovin' it!!!
I recently took a trip to St. Louis with my skin-grandson Ashton. I LOVE that boy!!! I don't travel well, but did OK on the trip. However, Dad says I haven't been the same since. I will tell ya pups ~ Mom & Dad were braggin' on me all through the trip. I met lots of new people and behaved myself as any good boxer should!! Made Mom proud!!!
Mom has to make me a vet appointment for what they call my 'mature exam'. Whatever that means...Dad says well I sure hope it doesn't mean the finger.....whatever that means??!! Mom says I'll do just fine!! I love my vet here in Houston, but I sure miss my friends at Colleyville Animal Clinic. Dr Wilson is the BOMB when it comes to vets!!!
