He loves opening presents... So we decided to play the 12 days of Christmas for him... but do you think he can stop at just one a day?? It will be so much fun...

Being Miserable

Mandy is about to have puppies, she can't get comfortable, she has to go pee all the time and just wants this time to be over. She is frustrated with her body and her lack of energy. I know she will be back into the groove when the puppies get here but I can sure tell she is miserable. In the next couple of weeks, check out the new puppies at www.psboxers.com - Yep we are excited, but I will say poor mandy is not really that excited right now. She just wants this to be over.

"CHANCE'S DEER"

My parents and I went camping/hunting for a week. Up by North port, WA. We had a great time. They kepted me on the leash a lot. Wolf's!! My daddy shot this cute buck.. I checked on it everyday to see if it was still here...

"Chance's HOT Weekend at Dworshak Lake"

It was HOT!! My mom & dad tried to keep me cool... by stopping for me to swim...putting wet towels on me.. and tying me up in the shade.. because I love being in on the fish action!! It's in the sun...hot, hot, hot!!! I'm now laying on the couch...caughting up on my sleep..no naps fishing.. to much action...

Summer at last

So Mandy and Braddock have taken to playing outside, chasing each other and hiding in the brush. Both are so happy about being able to play for hours outside. It is fun to see braddock hiding in the brush and jumping out at mandy. Mandy jumps and than jumps on him. He normally loses to her even though she probably weighs 30 pounds less. Braddock and Mandy don't see the inside of Kenneling much these days and so far it has been going ok. As long as you don't leave a baby bottle down. They know what it smells like and they love it. I have lost two bottles so far to them. When I forget they quickly chew it to pieces to get at the milk. Needless to say it ends up in the trash. Both boxers are enjoying the summer and I am sure they have lots planned.

Tanning!

I think its so funny when you look for the dogs and they are in the backyard laying out in the sun. Our babies will find the smoothest pile of dirt and just lay out and tan. Its GREAT. I feel bad for buster he gets his muzzle so burned 'cause its all white.

They also will find the air conditioner and lay in front of it. Its a funny time of year

The Poorific Day

Well the 6 puppies are well on there way to teen puppy status, they whine and bark just like normal dogs, they take normal boxer play positions when challenging their 87 pound father. They still have a lot of baby puppy stuff too, like trying to nurse off dad, which doesn't go over real well. Mom is in a catch 22, she hurts because she is full of milk but the puppies with puppy teeth (razor teeth) are eager to help mom, but she really doesn't want the kind of help. Right now it is really a hit or miss for the puppies, sometimes she gives in sometimes she just avoids them. Day to day care of these poop factories is amazing, I am not joking when I say I have a part of my yard covered in puppy poo. Even though I clean multiple times a day all I see anymore is poo. Now Mandy and Braddock are also having issues, and pooped at my back door. These are well trained dogs who never have this issue, and I slip in it!! Ugh, yes that is the most gross thing in the world, but after cleaning puppy poo all day I don't even flinch anymore. Keep in mind I am also dealing with 1 year old who can't keep up with the puppies, but just poops just like everyone else. Yes, this is my life, and I am just pooing it away. I hope everyone else is having a Poorific Day.

You mean that is not where I get milk??

So the other day, I had one of the six boxer puppies out socializing with Braddock (see www.psboxers.com ) - Braddock was sitting in front of the puppy and Braddock was sniffing the puppy. The puppy was sniffing Braddock, and went in between his legs, now I did not see the details, but I observed Braddock jump strait up in an effort to get away from this puppy. I now know what a shocked expression looks like on a boxer - and it would make you laugh.

Meet Sonney

Have you visited the puppies lately? http://www.psboxers.com/. Sonney, the puppy to the right, has two more brothers and three more sisters. Last night, I took some photographs and cropped them down to size. It was funny watching Braddock, their dad, look at them trying to move off the pillow and Mandy, their mom, move in between the whelping box and the living room where I was taking the photos. She must be getting good at counting to six.

All the puppies have opened their eyes and are starting to move around a bit more, kind of like crawling. They sleep in groups of two to four for warmth and comfort. The puppies have also started barking and growling which is kind of funny coming from a two pound puppy.

New babies!

Mandy and Braddock are the proud parents of 4 new boxer babies! We hope their dad Kevin will post pictures soon!! woohoo!
