My name is Kate and husband and I are the new owners of a 2 yr old boxer, Kane. 
I was told he was rescued from a bad home and we are greatful to have him. Our reason for picking a boxer is two-fold, or maybe three fold. First we've always been dog lovers, but the strange thing is we always owned and showed Afghan Hounds -big change to boxers. Second my son owned two wonderful boxers that passed on and he's never gotten over that. And that son has come back home to live (following a divorce) and a year ago I nearly lost my husband to a cardiac arrest. Following a long recovery and the fact that he suffered brain damage (memory loss) due to lack of oxygen during the attack - it has become my goal in life to figure out a way to get my husband out of bed - and the house to exercise and get his life back to normal :idea: ... blah blah blah... (my apologies for going on and on) so I bought Kane 4 days ago and have quickly learned that I am not the dog expert I thought I was. So I am thrilled to find this forum and hope to learn all the things I need to know to give Kane a happy home.
However, Hubby's out walking several times a day!!!! That's a minor miracle. Son's smiling again. :lol: That's progress... so glad to meet you all and enjoy your beautiful little miracles. Only problem I seem to have right now is Kane's impatience with being ignored while I'm on the computer. Do I have to buy him a friend too! :roll:
