Boxers are wonderful animals. This is our 4th and is well over 12. Every time I talk to my daughter she asks if Bongo is still alive. Bongos husband passed last year but I know that at least 3 of their puppies are still alive and well.

Anna the year of Katrina he spent 3 nights at home over 54 weeks. If he's home we're broke if he's traveling I'm lonely.
What's the long term prognosis on your knee? Mine gave out in July but a cortisone shot got me back in the game. I flip out everytime it falters. Starting to be concerned about its impact on ski season.

Good Morning Ladies!!!! I usually don't get on my computer first thing in the morning - today is a rarity!
8isenuff,
Love the picture! Tell your daughter Happy Birthday greetings from another mom!!!!! We celebrate all our daughters!!
Kjsdaughter,
What an awesome surprise!!!! Don't we just LOVE those?!?!?!
JayDee,
How often does your hubby get to come home? I so understand that adjustment. For 9 years my hubby worked and lived in other states, until the girls graduated high school and I went on the road with him. Sometimes he was close enough to come home every weekend but he still missed all the school events of the daughters. I didn't like being all alone either - glad I have my kitty cats!!!!! Your daughter should have off from Thanksgiving till the following Monday, question will be can she have off base liberty to go home?
Curlyq,
Enjoy the adventure!!!!!
Good Morning Jean and Blondie!!!!!
Thank you all for asking - both legs are getting better and I can walk without crutches now but I just have to remember not too go too far! It's usually the walk back that starts to hurt!!!! But I do my stretches and exercises and have weekly PA appointments. Thank God this happened after we got here to Florida where we plan to stay for the winter and I was able to get health care through the VA clinic here. I'd be totally broke by now!!!!!! Still can't do steps like normal!!!

This is my boxer guarding her future sailor about 7 years ago

Blondie we have an ancient boxer. She is far older than the normal lifespan for the breed. She has always been gassy but in the last few months its a constant sound (and smell) in my house. It's usually the last thing I hear as I'm drifting off to sleep. If they get any more potent it may be the last thing I ever hear one night....

Blondie, Aurora is doing really good. She loves going to daycare 3 times a week and my daughter. Loves her new job. She says that it allows her to be a better mom. I don't think she like to stay home that long.

Good morning Blondie, how have you been? I have to say it's been an odd week. My oldest drove back east about an hour after we got home from PIR and the dogs were at the kennel until the next day so I was truly alone in the house and it was WEIRD. I swear that as I was falling asleep I heard our old boxer fart (but she wasn't there...). Monday was good as I have class but last night it hit me hard. Another adjustment in my life. I'll probably just be getting used to it and then my husband will come home and screw up my system! :)
Does anyone happen to know what Thanksgiving means in A School? I'm hoping my daughter can come home but right now even she seems unsure of what will happen as her classes really don't start for another week yet.
