Oh man, that sucks. Boxers are great dogs. Very loyal, very playful, and tolerant of my little girl (think Elmira from Tiny Toons).

BTW, he looked like my female boxer. Her's a pic of her when she was about 6 months. She is a sweetheart.

Also, I agree with you completely about not cropping the ears. Boxers are not supposed to be bad ass, tough looking dogs. They are clowns.

Yeah, that's the right thing to do. I found a greyhound in 4 lanes of traffic a couple years back and coaxed him into my car. Turned out he was a foster that slipped out an unlocked gate.

I'm very sorry for your loss. It is so hard to lose a pet. Don't want to even think about losing Otis. I'd suggest getting another dog, but go about it the right way. Do your research, and find the right one.

Rushing out to the first classified ad for a boxer might not be the right idea. Look for a good breeder, and find the right pup.

I got so lucky with Otis. My mom found him for me and surprised me at Christmas. Not the way I usually suggest getting a pet, but I got so lucky this time. Best dog ever.

As someone else said, get a new dog. It won't fix it, but it will help. I'm very sorry to hear about Max.

I really like this one
 

hubby was lifting weights in the basement and Max would sit on the stairs like this. His legs were getting so long...

I'm really sorry about your loss. Having gone through it myself I agree to get another one after 2-3 weeks. We lost our first boxer after 7 years and replaced him with another one 5 weeks later. Chas has been with us for 4 years now and as much as he drives me crazy from time to time I couldn't imagine him not being part of our family.

The great thing about Boxer's is many of them have the same traits. It's really easy to watch Chas and have fond memories of Tanner even though they were completely different looking dogs.

beautiful dogs! thank you

Mine.

Very cute!

Oh man, sorry noswad. That literally brought a tear to my eye.

I would give it a couple months at least.

Bummer. Boxers are awesome. I hate going through this or even being close to such a situation. We were working on tooge's home when his lab got sick - we thought maybe she ingested something we left around. I was so relieved when we discovered it wasn't us but the relief was short because she passed shortly thereafter. Dogs are amazing creatures and they're perfect companions. No animal is more suited for human companionship, IMO.

Thanks Phobs. It truly was a shock. All I wanted this year was a crisis free year ya know?

didn't he have just the cutest face?

There is no such thing. I think you know that by now.
