She was found as a feral pup with her siblings and mother. PAWS rescued her and she had developed some fear issues. Being a trainer we decided to take her on and make her shine! Bio: Darcy arrived on 9/21/2010. She is officially home!! We drove to Allentown, PA where she was flown from Louisana with Pilots and Paws!! These people are truly angels in the sky!! Darcy did so well traveling in a small plane with strangers and other dogs. We feel truly blessed to have her in our lives. Forums Motto: All I need is Love......

She hops, boxes and shakes her head from side to side. She can be just so silly at times!
I love going to the kennel! I get to meet all kinds of fun dog friends! Mom and dad were gone for 2 whole weeks! Funny, when we arrived at the kennel I was crying! What?! When mom came to pick us up Grunt and I were happy to see mom. When we got home we just kinda walked around, we had some great boxer friends to play with at the kennel!
The next day mom gave me and Grunt baths. I taught mom something. When she puts us in the shower we usually face the wall with the nobs and stuff. Well I turned around facing away from that stuff and I calmed right down and enjoyed my massage! See mom still learns!
Grunt and I have been going for walks everyday. Mom saw 3 bears the other day. Me and Grunt were in high grass sniffin rabbits so we missed them.
Yesterday we were in the playground and I decided that I was going to put the smackdown on Grunt! I got him on the ground and pounced! Then he got up and I boxed him! Mom loved it! She told me to kick his butt! So I did! :):):)
Got a bath, yuck! Alright it wasn't too bad. Mom trimmed my nails when we got back from our walk. Then she tricked me into the shower! She sits and talks to me the whole time. I'm pretty calm through the whole bath. My tail is even up! Mom was talking about the first time she got me in the tub and we just sat there until I calmed down. It took a couple of days before I actually got a bath. Now I'm nervous going in but I'm happy when I come out clean! :)
Dad stayed home from work today. He wasn't feeling good (sinus issue) so he took a well day. He joined us for our morning walk and then sat in the purple chair in the playground. He even fell asleep a couple of times while mom was busy raking up the cut grass. Dad was nice enough to cut our grass last night.
We had a huge thunderstorm at 1:30 in the morning. Mom closed all the windows and moved one of my beds away from the window. I was nervous, but alright.
Anyhooo, Grunt and I chased and boxed for a bit. Then I headed to the top corner where mom has another chair. By the fresh spring watering hole. There is a huge blue spruce tree. Mom trimmed back some of the branches for the fencing but didn't trim it all back. I decided to make myself a cool dirt spot to lay in. Well as I was digging and prepping my area Grunt decided he wanted to help (well annoy) me. He got the zoomies and I laid in the dirt and snapped at him (playfully of course!). Mom and dad were on the other side of the playground watching us. Dad said all you see is Darcy's tail wagging! Dad couldn't believe how much fun me and Grunt were having!
When mom was done raking the grass she put the lawnmower and cart back at the house. She called for me and I came running across the playground. Dad was so shocked. There once was a time when I had to be cornered to be caught - I was that scared! Dad couldn't stop smiling at everything he saw at the playground! I'm really a different dog from when mom first brought me home in Texas. I'm so happy!
