Well we went to the Patterson's Boxer Meetup on Sat & met a lot of great peole and wonderful boxers...Unfortunately Samson did not do very well. He was soo overwhelmed by the exhuberence of them all that he was on the defensive the whole time we were there....My senior does better in smaller groups as we figured out, best with one on one..Some dogs are like that, but there was no way to know until we went....
Anyways, here is one of many pictures that we took, more are posted on my photobucket acct.. It would take me forever to post them all as sadly I am on dial up...
That looks so fun to be standing around with a bunch of good looking dogs!!! Sorry to hear that Samson felt defensive but you are a good owner to notice his weaknesses and to respect them. From what I read he will have his own small group to be comfortable in!
We really had a great time & yes I plan on going back...Marq and I talked about it and we decided that I will take Angel to the meetups and he will stay at home with Samson.. But occasionally we both will go and Samson still will stay at home...It's not his fault, he just doesn't handle all the excitement well... Heck he's a senior, he's set in his ways and those gorgeous boxers were soo high energy compared to him....

Deco had his neuter surgery on Friday. He's not happy about the cone, but hasn't managed to get it off yet. He still wants to go for walks and car rides. Is that ok after this soon after surgery? The vet didn't say and they are closed until Tuesday.
Hello, a few months ago my grandfather passed away and left a 9 year old boxer that needed a home. We agreed to take care of him for a couple of weeks, but of course we fell in love with him and want to keep him. The problem is that the dog is quite aggressive when it comes to both other people...
