Champ Needs a Home!
I'm trying to get the word out before I publish this in papers, but I wanted to see if anyone is interested (or know of anyone interested) in a free AKC registered with papers, fawn Boxer. He's almost 3 years old (August), weighs 95 pounds, neutered and house trained. However, there is a reason we are offering him free (going through it all so you have all the answers you need in one email). He goes to the bathroom a lot and it seems like every 3-hours he needs to go. He will tell you, but if you don't take him out within 15 minutes of him "telling you", you may have a mess on your hands. He is crate trained, but has been known to have accidents in the crate too (just urine). He hasn't had a crate accident in a while though. He can also be a nervous dog and has been that way since he was a puppy. Because he is so nervous, you have to really pace him with the water he intakes. He will gulp a whole bowl in one drink if I let him and that sometimes causes air bubbles and it will come back up because his stomach is sensitive. When I give him water, I pace him and force him to drink slower. We had to discuss this with the Vet and that was the resolution--pace him or put a huge rock in his water so he has to work to get to it (that was over the top for me and he'd end up eating the rock). I was told Boxers have one of two traits--nervous or a big baby.... he's both! He will bark like he's a real dog, but he's kind of wimpy. He's a good guard dog by sight, but don't expect him to actually do anything cause he's a big baby. He scares people if strangers walk up to the door, which usually does the job (if they only knew!!). He also has Alopecia. Sounds bad, but all it means is that he is bald on his sides. This is another trait Boxers are known for. It's not contagious, not painful, not itchy, not a bug or parasite, not anything--just bald. It's the same baldness that men get in older age, but it effects Boxers. The Vet has him on thyroid meds for 2-months to see if that will stimulate his thyroids to make the hair grow back (and then he won't be on meds). We haven't seen any hair growth yet. The Vet also said you can put over-the-counter hair growth on them and that helps, but I don't care enough about it to go to that extent. If he's not in pain or bothered, it's just cosmetic at that point. However, enough about the downside. He's actually a very loving and sweet dog. He loves kids (very protecting) and loves other dogs (although sometimes he doesn't realize how big he is). I say that because my Pug is the alpha dog and Champ could probably eat Pugsly, but he doesn't realize that. He loves to play with toys and will walk around with his "baby" in his mouth, which is a teddy bear. He loves to play and loves tennis balls (he usually tears everything else up--surprisingly the teddy bear is not torn to shreds yet). He is also obsessed with socks. He gets all crazy in the eyes when you wave a sock in front of him. He will also try and sit in your lap like he's a little dog. That's a sight to see (he tips my husband over in the recliner--very comical). He will jump up and hug your neck when you get home and just genuinely a very loving and silly dog. He also has a thing for the couch and pretty much takes up the whole thing. Why are we getting rid of him? I already have a demanding Pug and Champ is more than we can handle anymore. We don't have a fenced in yard so he's not getting the exercise he needs and he does need your attention--and I'm just tired of all the pets in my house. My allergies are a wreck and it's bad enough with my Pug, adding two dogs has me on strong meds (and still not 100% effective). We don't have the extra $$ to get a fence since the price seems to skyrocket every year we get a quote! So, if you know of someone who is interested that can handle the above, then please let me know. You can email here at work or at maryfries@bellsouth.net. I can provide pictures. I have about a million of him!

A Few Brave the Rain
I'm very impressed with the determination of a couple of my bath customers this rainy, rainy day. I am so in love with this Great Dane named "Moose".
"Shavano" is the beautiful lady he was staring at on the other side of the bath area.

Betty Needs A Home!
Betty came to visit us tonight for a bath and while paying, I found out that she is actually a foster dog for the woman who came to bathe her. She's a 3-year old Golden Retriever and just a DOLL! She was so good for her bath, and actually looked like she was really enjoying the attention! If you want more information on Betty, please email Greta @ greta.r.ulvad@vanderbilt.edu

Notes from the Day
Cooper and Jackson, two Shit-zu brothers came in for a visit and to get some good rain gear! While the green matched them nicely, they ended up special ordering the same coat in chocolate brown instead. So handsome!
Neighborhood dog and Lucky Pup regular "Arby" stopped by for a visit and played with Cooper and Jackson for a bit. Look at Cooper teasing poor Arby with that squeaky toy!
Arby is so handsome! He also got a bath shortly after this photo!

Sam The Boxer Needs a Home
From Sam's Mom:
My name is Tammy Cothran, I'm Sam's mom. Sam just had
his first birthday Jan 6th, 2009, weight 71lbs, full blooded with papers, is not
fixed. Sam's dad wanted to breed him one time. Health is good, sees
the Vet regularly.
My husband was a retired police detective
and worked 18hrs. per week. He wanted Sam and for Westie Jack to
have a brother. Unfortunately my husband went to heaven in November.
When I have to be on site for work Sam is in his kennel because we do not
have a fenced yard. He is kennel trained and sleeps in it at night but I
have a hard time knowing he is locked up all day. Sam will ring jingle
bells on the back door when he needs to go outside. Last summer after just
2 days he jumped off the back of our boat went swimming to the bank to take care
of his business. We just call his name tell him to come and he will swim
back to the doggy ladder, and get right back on the boat. He will sit,
stay, come, heel and understands when you lead correct. He did attend 4
out 6 of his dog training classes. Due to my husbands illness we missed 2.
I will check but I believe the trainer will allow him to attend again for
no charge.
Sam loves children, playing and loves to love.
Jack is only 14lbs but you would never know the way they play together.
Sam will roll down on the floor for Jack to pull on his ears.
I just want my wonderful big boy to be able to
get out run and play during the day. I'm looking for someone who
loves dogs and treats them like one of the family. This is hard for me but
not as hard as knowing my Sam is in his kennel.
If you would
like to know more or see Sam please call 615.804.9849, we are in Bellevue. Enjoy his
pictures!!

Lacey the Pit Bull Needs a Home!
From the owner:
My name is Adam. I have a 6 year old pit bull who is very loyal, nice and house broken. I've had her since she was a pup and now I have to get rid of her because I'm moving and can't find a place for her. I don't want to give her to someone who is going to mistreat her. If you would please email me and let me know something i would appreciate it a lot, I am moving close to the end of this month and running out of options. I've attached photos of Lacey. Thank you. Adam
P.S She has had her shots but is not spayed. She is okay with dogs after she gets use to them; she use to live with two other dogs awhile back. She recently lived with two cats in my apartment, she didn't like them at first but she didn't mind after awhile. Not sure about kids, she has never really been around them. She is in antioch tennessee.
