That's great, Kurt. Glad to see the climate is agreeing with you already. Looks like the boxers will have to learn to swim.

Don

the climate is definitely helping, Don.
My Boxers love to swim I acclimated them to it when they were pupies by putting them in a kiddie pool.
I would put about a inch of water in it to start them out and then eveyday add a little more water.
I found this to be the best way, then they never get scared of the water.
The first time I let my little boxer out back by the big pool she ran straite in to the pool thinking she could touch the bottom.
She went straite to the bottom and I was thinking I am gonna have to jump in and save her but before I could get
my 45 off my side she poped up swimming around. Now every time I let her out I have to tell her to stay out of the pool
or she will go out and jump right in. My last Boxer that I had to put down a couple years ago love to swim too.
If you tried to get him out of the pool before he was ready, he would grawl at you. Besides that he was the best dog I ever had.
I guess he just wanted his R & R time, so I would give him his way with that.
So now when we have Boxer puppies at about a month I'll start putting them in a kiddie pool every day if it's warm out.
Then when people get them these dogs are not scared of anything, and I love it when the people call me and start telling stories
about something one of the puppies I sold them did. I had a couple that we sold a puppie to, that went to a park and seen another boxer
on the other side of the park. thier Puppie started dragging the accrossed this field to get to the other boxer.
They get over there and the dogs start playing together when the people start talking they find out that they both bought thier pups from me.
So these dogs were brother and sister and recognized each other from accrossed a big feild.
To cool right.

That's a cool story. Animals are smarter than people sometimes, ya gotta love em.

There is one little cat that comes to the shop every night, he is a triplet and comes with his siblings as a group. He is the friendliest of the three and hangs around us even after the others have eaten and left to go home. The other night he walked into the shop and climbed into Dons rolling tool tray lower tray, laid down on the towel that is laying there, and started to go to sleep. I'd love to talk my ex wife into adopting him, but he seems so happy living his life free that I'd hate to take him away from his family.

Your story about your pups knowing each other makes me wonder if animals miss each other when they get separated.

Don

I know they miss each other Don.
I have had people come by after a year with thier Boxers to show me,
and when I let them in thier Boxer will go straite to where the kennel
was in the other room. I believe that they are looking for thier Brothers
and Sisters, they always look a little sad to me when they don't find them.
But they perk up when I let Mama and Papa out of the bedroom.

With all that land is there a new shop in your future??

Welcome back Kurt - - - glad things are smoothing out for Y'all.

Welcome back, Kurt! My in-laws have a pool and though I'm not much of a pool lover, my wife spends a lot of time there over the summer. She growls if I try to get her out before she's ready, too.

Falconvan; HE! HE! HE! Hope your in a safe place where she can not read what you wrote or you might get bit!!!
Thanks Mellow, evrything is going good and smooth right now.
Cffisher; Yes there is I have been trying to figure out where I want to put it.
Kurt

Hah! That's cool; I kind of like it when she bites. A fiesty wife with some spirit is a good thing.

I think you can tell that you was missed Kurt. Welcome back and enjoy the new climate.

Rick

Falconvan; You need help, but you sound like my kind of people.HE! HE! HE!
Thanks Rick; I love the new climate but I have made tons of work for my self, I am affaid.
