10/31/13 I just
wanted to take a minute and catch up with everyone. I have been in my
foster home a little over 6 months. My foster mom absolutely loves me
and gives me many kisses each day. I love just being me and getting
them. I got to try a small bowl of ice cream for my 6 month
anniversary. It was yummy!
My foster mom has signed me up for a tracking class that starts in
December. She says I am going to get to find hot dogs on the ground.
I am sure there is more to it, but i like what she has told me so far.
She is looking to buy me a coat or sweater, since it will be outside.
I am sure there will be pictures of this taken.
I love being in my foster home. I get plenty of great food and
treats, have many blankets and dog beds to sleep on, and get to snuggle with
my foster mom each day.
I also helped to rescue a kitten a few months ago. I heard it
crying under the bushes and showed my foster mom where it was. She
told me I was a good boy!
So, I am just hanging out here waiting for my permanent family. I
hope they find me soon, as I am the "best boxer ever!" (that is what my
foster mom says).

Hey all
(Y'all since I'm in the southern states these days) .... it's me, just
checking in with all of you boxer lovers. My foster mom still says I am THE
BEST and the EASIEST. I don't exactly get it, but it gets me lots of kisses,
which I love to give back to her. I wiggle for her and she's even heard my
"woo" a couple times. That's reserved for my real excitement !!!
I am still a relatively quiet boy, but will bark if I'm outside and there
is something mom needs to know about on the other side of the fence. I like
to chase birds, but mom says I will never catch one. I met some of the
neighbors on my walk last week and they just loved me. I didn't jump or
bark. I just wanted to be petted. Their son is afraid of dogs, but I think
he really wanted to meet me once I was so well behaved. I can win anyone
over with my charm.
My foster mom wants to tell you that I do like the house and air
conditioning. It is almost 95 degrees here in Virginia and who wants to be
outside???? She leaves the back door open for me when we "work" outside. I'm
usually sitting in the doorway when she is looking for me. This way I can
stay cool, but still watch her. I really like to be with her and sit next to
her. On weekends, I get time with mom and one of my fur brothers, and I just
want to explore the house and lay by mom. I am really laid back.
My taste testing food update: I have now tried (and love) flounder,
shrimp, Frito's, and any beef or chicken. I even had chicken and duck feet.
And, I still don't care for fruit. Mom tried a piece of cantaloupe and I
spit it out and let it lay on the floor. Mom did sneak in some pumpkin
bread, but I don't count that as fruit or veggie, so I did eat it. Anyhow,
that's what's new with me. If you want to know more about me, let AABR know.
Love, Boss

I just
wanted to take a few minutes and update you on what I've been doing this
last month. It has been a whirlwind and I've been a busy boy. My foster mom
said I've done much better than most of her own dogs. She also said she keep
me in a heartbeat, if she could.
My first week at my new foster home was filled with a lot of activity and
a lot of new people. My foster mom said we were buying a new house and
moving. I met some of her family, the pizza delivery guy (a couple times),
some friends, and then a bunch of guys came and packed us all up, including
our crates one morning. I just wiggled for them all and gave lots of kisses.
A couple of the moving guys said they wanted me and would take turns walking
me on a leash and taking pictures of me. My foster mom watched me really
closely and said all adoptions had to be "approved". I got to supervise the
move from the front seat of the UHaul truck. I loved riding in it. I
secretly love to ride in anything. We were so busy that we forgot to get a
picture of this.
We next discovered that I was turned into the shelter with 2 eye ulcers,
one in each eye. We took care of that right away and I was a really good boy
for all the vets, even during my eye procedure. I don't even mind the eye
drops that I had to have. Thanks AABR for making me feel so much better.
I am settling into the new house and new yard and enjoying it. I get to
stroll around the back yard and enjoy life. My foster mom says she is giving
me the job as a "taste tester" in the house. I get to sample a little bit of
a lot of foods. She says being a senior boy, you should enjoy life. So far
I've had a couple bites of steak, chicken, muffins, cheese, angel food cake,
and other stuff. I watch my foster brothers and sisters eat bananas and
watermelon, but I just sniff that. Mom just laughs at me and says that's
okay.
A couple of my other good traits are that I don't jump on anything or any
person. That's probably good because I am a big boy. I really don't bark
very much. I am good in a crate and go right in. I probably don't need it,
but I have too many foster brothers and sisters to not be in a crate
sometimes. I know how to sit. And, I give the best kisses !!!
PS. My birthday is 5/10/04. It was on my paperwork that I got turned in
with. A family of my own would be the best present I could get for my
birthday !!!

Boss has
been neutered and has arrived at his temporary foster home. They
indicate that Boss is an incredibly happy and handsome boy. He gets
along great with the other dogs and absolutely loves the five year old
child. Boss listens well and takes treats gently. Whoever adopts
Boss will be getting a wonderful boxer boy!

Boss is a senior boy who was surrendered to the shelter because his owner
reported he had allergies to dogs. Boss is a wonderful boy and passed all of
his behavior assessments with no problems. He does well with other dogs and
really enjoys attention from people. Boss has a very easygoing and gentle
disposition. He will be brought up to date on all vet care this week and
will then be arriving at his new foster home. Thank you for your interest in
Boss! |
