Hello everyone !
I am glad to have found this forum .. I am looking forward to reading posts, getting insight, experiences and probably some guidance
We are a small family of three .. myself and two teenage sons. We have one dog already - a 7 year old lhasa mix named Bailey - 1 bird and 2 guinea pigs. We have recently been going back and forth with a breeder for a boxer puppy and are meeting her in two weeks to discuss the possibility of getting one of her pups.
My initial question would be if I am doing the right thing introducing a new pup to Bailey ? I guess I kinda feel like I did when I found out I was pregnant with my second son LOL !!! You know, will she adapt well, will I love them both equally ..
In 2006 I had a motorcycle accident. As such, I have lost almost 80% mobility in my left foot (broke the talus bone) and need to get out often to exercise my ankle. My little Bailey has back knee problems so her walks are limited. I have no qualms about exercising a boxer because I need to give myself a daily dose of physical therapy at home also .. and the mix of the two of us getting out for daily exercise will be a perfect match. I also have a closed in backyard and live near a beautiful park.
I will ask other questions as I go along in this forum .. right now I just need to know people's opinions on the introducing of a new puppy in the household .. and this before we go have our hearts taken by boxer puppies in two weeks
Many thanks for reading my post .. and I look forward to "reading" everyone else on the forum !!
