It was a Merry Christmas!!

Hello everyone! I had a great Christmas yesterday. Santa was very good to me. (Although he did NOT leave a trampoline but I forgive him, that wouldn't really fit in a sleigh) He did leave me some other tasty treats!!

A chubby little squeaky reindeer!

PIG EARS!

3 New Squeaky Tenny Balls!!


This is my favorite! It's an Orbee Football. Smells minty!

I hope everyone else had a great holiday!!!
Best wishes to everyone for the new year!

It's Christmas Eve Eve!

So last weekend we celebrated Christmas with my Grandparents and I had tons of fun. I didn't get to play too much with Max & Shoogie because it was so bitterly cold out and I just kept wanting to come back inside and snuggle with my Grandma and wrestle with my Grandpa. He kept hog-tying me, that little rascal. I'll get him back one day. I'm going to pee on his shoe when he's not looking! Ha! That'll teach him!

Santa wrote me back!!!!

You may need to click on it so that it opens bigger and you can read it.

It's coming up fast

My parents are running around in a flurry of boxes and phone calls and trash bags. Sometimes they stop, take a moment, look at me and say "whant whant whant YARD whant whant." THEY look excited so I get excited. Then they pet me vigorously and continue packing. Only 11 more days to go until I get this YARD thing. It must be a late Christmas present. It'd better be good for all this fuss they're going through. I haven't been getting much attention lately.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Mom had her annual Christmas photo shoot today. I got lots and lots of treats for "co-operating so well" she said. (Whatever that means)

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Christmas is coming!!!

That one in the white wrapping paper has my name on it.
And it smells good.......
How much longer till Christmas again?

More Smilebox

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

I'm helping, again!

Amongst the packing, the shopping, the gift wrapping and the regular household duties, my SuperMamma is making another blanket for a friend for Christmas.

Here I am trying to help.
I was going to hold the fabric straight so she could cut it and keep it warm at the same time.

After yelling and trying to get me to lay somewhere else she made me a little scarf with the extra fabric. So stylish!!

Moms new addiction.....smilebox!

Make a Smilebox photobook

Blast from the past....camping!

This was my very first camping trip. (Well, my only. We didn't get to go this year) I was only 3 months old and very teeny. This was back in September 2007.



This was my favorite thing to do while there. Whenever someone got up from their chair around the fire I jumped up there and took their spot. It was sooo cozy! It only folded in on me once.



I loved exploring everything new; the dirt, the water, the campfire, being outside. I loved it and I really hope we can go next year!!

Back to the crate for me....

Mom got the lights and ornaments on the tree last night and told me that she trusted me when she left for work today. I let her down... I ate some of the hanging toys. I couldn't help it. That wooden snowman looked so tasty. I got yelled at and I heard them talking about putting me back in the crate until the tree comes down. Oh well, at least its only for a few weeks.

Long, lost brother??

My mom wants to get me a playmate, another boxer buddy but my Dad is dead-set against it. So she begs, he says no, she pouts and it goes on and on....

Today, while scouring the humane society pages looking at doggies she could rescue (she doesn't give up), Mom found a boxer at the local humane society. He's around my age and looks just like me (except for the tail).



Mom asked of course, but the answer was still no. I want a playmate so I hope Dad gives in eventually. Good luck, Radar! I hope you find a happy forever home, too bad it couldn't be mine.

Why is every news story about a boxer sad news???

TAMPA -- A dog that was nearly starved to death is getting a second chance at life.

His name is Casper, which seems appropriate for a dog that's a mere ghost of what he should be. "He has pretty much no muscles left. He's just a rack of bones, and he's one of the worst dogs I've ever seen," said Dr. Isabelle Roese, head veterinarian of Hillsborough County Animal Services.

Roese says they think Casper is a boxer that should weigh 55 to 60 pounds. But right now he weighs less than half that. He also has terrible sores all over his body from a skin condition Dr. Roese says could have been easily treated before it got as bad as it did.

They're trying to limit how much they touch him because it's so painful for him. And while Casper seems to have a good appetite, it's too soon to know if his emaciated body is processing the food.

Animal abuse investigator Michele Perez says Casper could barely walk when they found him last Sunday, chained up in the backyard of a Carrollwood home. Perez said that, based on her 16 years of experience in the field, she believes Casper didn't have much time left.

"I believe it would have been just a few days and he would have been dead, if we had gotten there later."

34-year-old Wilmer Fernandez and 32-year-old Aixa Rodriguez are charged with animal cruelty and neglect. Bail was posted at $6500 each, and they bonded out.

Abuse investigator Perez says she can't get over his how she says they went about their daily lives with a dog in such bad shape right outside their patio door.

"When the family was sitting down at the dining room table to eat dinner, and if the vertical blinds weren't closed, Casper was in plain view, at all times," Perez said.

Perez is also upset that Casper was in full view of several neighbors with adjoining yards, yet no one ever called about him. A deputy working an unrelated case in the neighborhood spotted Casper and called Animal Services.

Thursday, Perez transported Casper and two of the other four dogs seized Sunday to the Humane Society of Tampa Bay. Executive Director Sherry Silk said Casper will get intensive veterinary care, including a special diet and antibiotics for his skin. Once he's stabilized, they'll move him to longterm foster care.

While he's not out of the woods yet, they're all hoping Casper will eventually be well enough to be adopted.

"What I hope for Casper...is to end up in a good, loving home with people that will appreciate him for who he is. He has a right to a second chance," Perez said.

Get better soon, Casper. xoxoxo. ~*~Mya~*~

The tree is intact!

My friend Brad (soon to be roommate) came over yesterday and stayed the night. He had some "job thing" to do today. He let me out to pee before he left this morning and when the parents came home I hadn't eaten the tree!! Of course there's still no lights or hanging toys on it yet so as soon as Mom finds those darn lights she'll be nervous all day all over again.

Boxer eats plastic, ends up sick as a dog

FRAMINGHAM — Eden, a 12-month-old boxer, got into the holiday spirit, and then into trouble, recently by checking for goodies inside bags on her owner's kitchen counter.

The boxer, known for counter surfing, had help with the caper from her two littermates.

"The male boxers, taller than females, brushed the counter contents onto the floor and then they all had a party," said Bill Lannon of Uxbridge.

But the hijinks ended badly when Eden ate something she shouldn't have unbeknownst to her owners, Bill and Janice Lannon.

Two days before Thanksgiving, Eden began to get sick. She wouldn't eat and had lost 8 pounds by the time she was taken for exploratory surgery yesterday at Slade Veterinary Hospital in Framingham.

Veterinarians Marianne Martin and Anita Migday, owner of the hospital, operated on the pup and found the culprit behind her weight loss - about a quarter-pound of plastic bags.

Bill Lannon is not certain what attracted Eden to the plastic bags.

"Boxers eat anything, including hats and leftover food - that's a given," said Lannon. "Believe it or not, the blockage (from the bags) is the best of the options. If not the blockage, it would have been a disease. It's better than the alternatives. I'm pretty happy and thankful to have Eden back.

"We call Eden, 'the one.' She was the best one in the litter - with the highest expectations for her ability to be a champion in the show ring," said Lannon.

"We kept three out of the same litter and highly recommend not doing that," said Lannon, who breeds dogs. "One-year-old boxers are a bundle of energy, into everything and always challenging. When they hit 3, they settle down. Until then, they run and get into everything and we have three at the same age. It's like having triplets."

Injuries

While at my Grandparents house last week I got a little beat up.


I sliced open my paw and got bit in the butt!! I didn't care, I was having fun!


Mom says I didn't know better than to mess with Max while he was chomping on a hambone. He didn't mean to hurt me he was just trying to keep me away from his bone and I just wanted to play.

Moms getting nervous again

I helped her put up the tree today. No lights or hanging toys yet. I heard her talking to Dad about not trusting me all day out of the crate with the tree up. I think they're going to give it a shot though. I'd better be good. I've gotten used to sleeping on the couch all day and zooming around the house without getting yelled at. I hope they give me a chance!!

Ski Jacket & SNOW!!!

Georgia gave me her ski jacket that doesn't fit her anymore. It has a fuzzy hood; I love it! Thanks, Georgia!!

Today it snowed a little and Mom let me play outside for a while.
My favorite thing to do is eat it!!!

Busy, Busy, Busy....And A Christmas Flashback!

Mom and Dad have been running around packing boxes upon boxes lately. We move into our new house at the end of this month. They're really excited and keep talking about this "yard" thing. I can't wait to see what that means.

I think Moms putting that tree thing up this week. She says she'll manage to fit it in somewhere amongst the boxes. Mom's going to take another picture of me by that tree to see how big I'm getting. Here's last years pic....

Playing Around

I had lots of fun yesterday playing in the kennel with Shoogie and Max. Then we played in the yard off leash. My Mom doesn't even get nervous about that anymore. I listen really well, better than they do! We played until I was tuckered out and crashed. I hope we can do it again today!!

Early Xmas Present

My mom wouldn't let me go outside and hang out with Max and Shoogie because it was too cold. Soooo she went out and bought me a jacket. She also got me some socks to keep my feet from scratching the hard word floors when I get excited and run in circles.


Then, my Grandpa said the coat still wouldn't be warm enough so he gave me a really cool Harley Davidson thermal shirt for underneath it. I was so warmy and toasty and I finally got to go out and play with my friends.

Hurry up, let me in!!

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!

Well it's finally arrived. Turkey day!!! I'm at my Grandma's for a few days with my Mom and Dad. The Great-Grandparents are coming too. They love me. Well except for that time they yelled because I was waking up Great-Grandma by jumping on her chest and desperately trying to scratch that stupid blanket off of her face. They laughed about it later though. They should be here soon, I'm so excited.

I have a lot to do today so I'll leave you with some Thanksgiving boxers...

Look closely, there's a Boxer stalking this juicy turkey.
Be stealthy buddy, they'll never know it was you!!

Small setback

Well, today was my second day home alone by myself and we had a minor setback. My Mom came home mid-day and hung out again but when she let me outside I didn't have to poo. Well after she left I did so I poo'd in the house. I knew it was wrong but nobody was there to let me out. It's THEIR fault. I tried to eat it before they got home but it tasted really bad!!! I'll try harder tomorrow.

On another note, here's my new toy from Georgia.
Thanks, Georgia I'm so glad you don't like the taste of rubber!

BUCKEYES!!

Good job Buckeyes!!

Way to whoop on Michigan today!

Early Turkey Day

Today Mom made a turkey for us and a few friends. She gave me something new this year. A nice, juicy turkey neck, heart and liver. Yum yum. I was a little scared at first and just licked it for a while. Then I took the heart to my crate and ate it up. I made short work of the neck and liver after that. It was sooooo good. Thanks, Mom!! Oh, and Happy Birthday too!

All went well, yeah!!!

So my Mom left me out of my crate while she went off wherever she goes every day. She came home mid-day to check on me and have lunch with me, then off she went again. So....about 7 hours on my own with a little break mid-day and all went well. I didn't chew on anything or eat anything I wasn't supposed to or go potty in the house. They were so proud they were beaming!! I'm a rockstar!

Here's a little baby-tongue for not believing in me!

Two Nosed Puppies or Cleft Palates?

Two noses are better than one! LOVE the teeth, girls!!

Tomorrows the big day!!!

My mom has decided I'm grown up enough to be trusted out of the crate for the day. (She said something about rather having me "mess up" the apartment than the house) Tomorrow she is going to leave me out and come home at lunch to hang out with me and check on how things are going. I keep telling her she doesn't have anything to worry about.

And then she reminded me of this....I, of course, reminded her that was 9 months ago, I was immature then and I just wanted to see out of the window. If they would have just left the blinds up like they do now I wouldn't have had to chew through them to see.

So the blinds will be up tomorrow and Mom will be super impressed by my maturity when she gets home.

Plast from the past....My friend Bailey

Bailey and I are great friends. We laugh, cuddle and tell secrets.
This was back in Sept. 2007.
