Pet Clothes

I have just become a new doggy grandma.  My son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter just brought home a new Boxer puppy.  Her name is Roxie and she is just the cutest thing.  With those long legs and big feet the vet says she should weigh about 100 lbs.  Thus some interesting facts about Boxers.

They are considered guard dogs because they symbolize strength, agility and awareness.  This is why my son likes Boxers with  Roxie being his second one.  He wants his family to have protection and with their amazing loud bark they certainly would scare off anyone.

What these dogs need most is love.  They are very social and love to be around people.  They don’t do well when they are left alone for very long.  When they know that you are a friend, they become your best friend in return.  Boxers sure know how to give you that look with caring eyes and they know how to give comfort during sad times.  They also know how to “beg for treats”.

I found out that Boxers are very sensitive to extreme temperatures.  In times when it is to hot or cold the Boxers really need extra care.  They can overheat in the hot temperatures and get to cold in the winter months.  Their hair is short and close to the skin which makes very sensitive to the cold.  They do better if they can be in the house during extreme weather conditions.

So for my new Granddog, for the winter, she will be in a cute dog jacket and in the summer one of the great looking jeweled dog collars will be perfect.
