I love the pugs, and the boxer is a bonus. I miss my Max very much.

So glad it worked. I was feeling quite the failure for a while!

There are other videos that the same family made. The one about the visit to the vet is pretty funny and so is Loca's Dilemma.


I had a boxer/collie cross, Lucy. She was my first dog on my own. Perpetual puppy who never grew up and was full of energy until her very last days.

I've been meaning to ask how things have gone trying to get your local state thread going. Any success?

Its going pretty good there's about 32 members active now. Thanks for asking!
Its starting to gain momentum. i want to help more of us find breeders, feed mills, lots of good links.
I only have my chug now.. sadie. I cant keep big dogs, my dad won't leave them alone and they knock him down.
I really miss my mastiff sam. Dad just loved him, and would not leave him be. I was afraid he would break a bone.
Dad would play with sam and get knocked down. Max my brindle boxer, same thing. Really hurt to give them up.
But Dad is stubborn. Oh well. I won't pen them up all day, or worse put them outside. So i found my boys homes.

Ugh.. my Dad. hope he knows how much I love him.
I won't get another Big dog for a long time, if ever. Can't risk Dad breaking a bone from a fall.
 
That must have been a hard decision. My sister had a Bull mastiff/Neopolitan mastiff cross who died this past summer. She was 135lbs and almost 11 yrs old. My sis took her on as a boisterous one yr old from a young couple who had had a baby and couldn't give the dog enough of the right kind of attention. That dog lived a great life, so hopefully your guys are happy too. As soon as sis gets her new house fixed up and moves in, she will be looking for another adult mastiff type. Gotta have a dog!

Parents are another story. So hard to see the slow loss of strength and independence. And height. My dad keeps getting shorter. You are a good person to find a way to protect your dad from injury without losing his dignity. We will all walk in our parents' shoes one day, and our children will see the path we choose in getting there.

its hard. Dads a real go getter type. The diabetes has really hurt him, he can barely walk. He gets mad if i try and help him.. ugh. I told him my dogs were just too much for me to handle. they were active busy boys! I can visit them if i want but its just too painful ugh.. Sam my mastiff especially. he was just a good boy. the lil guy that has him loves him so much.

Hey, you're going all Martha Stewart on us!!! Those are really cool. I don't have enough room in the freezer to try it!

Been meaning to ask you if this is a fairly typical winter for you (excluding the hurricane). Are you at a relatively high altitude? Seems those low temps you have would be found much farther north.

I made them in the yard, those are from 2 gallon buckets and are pretty big... typically, you can make one by putting water inside one bucket and placing another bucket inside to create the shape, but since the water at the mid section to the bottom was not frozen, just a bit down the sides and the top, it made it's own shape. I bought a book for the local pastor on my route about making snow creations, there was a whole section on bucket use... he and his children make snow people, I suggested a snow choir one year, and they made it... it was adorable, have to search for the photos I took... but I only have about 15 more minutes before I have to leave for work.
I live at 2500 feet altitude, so I get elevation weather here, and this is a very typical winter, some are milder (rare) and some are more severe. I've gotten over 6 feet of snow in one storm in less than 2 days. it never gets overly hot in the summer and the winters are brutal.

jchny, I agree with W4W, you are a good daughter to put him first. My folks are getting up there, my Dad will be 81 in February, Mom 78 in March. they are both quite fit, considering... they just moved too... so much stress... and they have a Pug, I think she's almost 3 now, bundle of energy who took off down their new front yard after the ducks, went skidding across the ice on the pond and fell through! my Dad had to shimmy out on the ice on his tummy to get her! apparently the only loss was his cell phone. fell out of his pocket. my Dad is shrinking too, spinal stenosis mostly, he did have one surgery about 4 years ago, successful... but he's gone from 6' to 5'8" over the last decade
