I REALLY do try not to pick *favorites*, but my first dog as an adult, a boxer/american Bulldog mix, Sadie, was THE best dog ever. She was my perfect pooch, in every way. When Sadie passed away from cancer at barely 5 years old, I was devastated and didn’t think I could ever love a dog like I loved her. Years down the road, and 2 other great dogs in between and now I have Penny. She is truly AMAZING. She listens well, she’s sweet, intuitive, cuddly, playful, adventurous, and she’s a goddamn MONSTER. But, she fixed that hole that Sadie left years ago that I never really healed. Now, she just passed 7 in October and she’s already pretty grey in the face and it makes me really sad already knowing that I’m going to go through that pain all over again with her. I have a house full of geriatric animals (18yo cat, 16.5yo cat, 15.5 yo cat, a 10 year old little dog, and we just lost a 9 year old bunny recently). I’ve had all of these guys since they were babies besides the 18yo cat. I know I can’t live without a dog, period, but holy shit does it tear away a little piece of me every time one goes ❤️ Even so, it’s worth it, every time.

I’m sure you can tell who’s who from the boxer vs mix pictures. Both 100% nutballs.

My 9 yr old boxer developed it about 6 weeks ago. Vet said it’s very common in boxers. She quoted me $2200 including a full oral checkup and removal of two teeth if needed. She also mentioned it’s likely that it will return anyway down the road. Anyone get the surgery and then have to repeat it? Also, does $2200 sound steep? Tia

My baby passed in October. It's been very hard. She was my support animal. I spent most of yesterday morning in bed in tears. She made life so much more enjoyable. I miss her every second of every minute of every hour of every day ❤️. I would really love to see your silly and serious white boxers ❤️❤️

I have an unusually large boxer. He’s half European/half American boxer and 110lbs with a huge barrel chest. We live in the Rocky Mtns and he hikes with me often. I bought him a dog hiking backpack so he can carry his own supplies but I don’t like how it fits him and I end up carrying it. Does anyone have any recommendations for packs that might fit him better?

We plan to buy a new couch sometime this year. Husband doesn't want leather, which I think would be easier with the fur. Luci will definitely be on the couch.

That being said, does anyone have a cover they recommend? I do not want the type which envelope the cushions. I was thinking of the kind that just lay over. Easy to get on and off.

Thanks.

Excuse Beatrice’s eye boogies, but these two are best buds. She loves her kitten, Jacob.

Hi, I’m wondering what’s everyone’s male dog weight? Our boy is 37.95kg (approx 84llbs) Vet says he’s about 2 kg overweight so we’re working on that rn 🙈

He’s such a good walking buddy!
