Bodhi the Boxer : Those Ears!

Bodhi... my precious boy and that ear!  

He has this one little boo-boo in the fold of his left ear, being in the fold is making for a tough spot to heal.  I've used some stuff from a previous ear boo-boo, I've used Neosporin.  It was 'kind of' working...

However now I am using a product I got from TamPogo, it's a prebiotic skin care product and it really seems to be doing the trick.  It is called Pure Chemistry's Botanical Buffet Moisturizing Derma Repair.   Organic, all natural and I'm seeing quick results.

Just wanted to share!

Have you hugged your Boxer(s) today?  (again and again!)

Boxers are Funny...

Astrid  is popping by to say 'Hi' today!  She is a cover hog. Does your Boxer do this?  (sleeps UNDER the covers in the bed?)  Seriously, spoiled rotton..

Good thing Bodhi does not want under the covers...

What they HEY, you're driving me NUTS!

 So today Beevis and Butthead, I mean Bodhi and Astrid were driving me NUTS!

Inside, outside, inside, whining for outside. Inside, whining for outside, over and over and over.

I was like WTF is your PROBLEM!

Well it turns out the Quail have arrived, got it! 

When I was eating dinner the duo were doing the crazy 'let us OUT' dance and I saw a big plump Quail bobbing by with the dohickey on his head.

They love chasing the Quail,  I always knock on the glass to give them a warning so they  have time to fly away.  My little trick to preserve the nature :)

Spring has Sprung here in Nevada!

Spoiled? Who ME?

Astrid all snug and cozy between 2 blankets, on a dog bed, in front of the fire... Life is 'ruff', NO?

Bodhi the Boxer back to the Vet again! (inflamed foot)

Bodhi's Foot was swollen and 'seepy' last week, I made an appointment, this his foot seemed better, then as Murphy's Law has it, he was limping over the weekend...

The foot started bleeding a bit, leaving teeny dots of blood on the tile on the floor.  :(

The snow seemed to calm the inflamation over the weekend, but we still went to the Vet on Monday, new antibiotics... Evidently something, like a pokey from the yard irritated his foot and made little pimple-like things, infection, sigh...

The Dr. said the blood was the little pimple things popping - eww...

Good thing is he is feeling better now, and I've mastered giving him a pill first shot, even without peanut butter!

Boxer Diet : Changing Food From Nutro Natural Choice Chicken, Rice & Oatmeal to Taste of the Wild Salmon & Sweet Potato

Greetings Fellow Boxer Lovers!

Today is the day we changed Astrid an Bodhi's Food over from Nutro Natural Choice to Taste of the Wild. 

Previously I'd purchase Nutro at Petco, it was about $52 for a 40# bag at Petco and about $42 for a 40# bag at PetSmart. 

Today I went to Benson's in Carson City, the food was about $37 for a 30# bag, comparable pricing, but now my Boxers are getting 100% Natural Food, made in the United States.  In California actually!

I really like the service at Benson's (you can only buy Taste of the Wild at Specialty food stores.  The guy picked up the bag, carried it to my car, put it in, shut the back of the FJ and opened my door for me to get in.  Now THAT's servicve!

HEY! You know what I JUST noticed?  Nutro is now called Chicken MEAL, rice & oatmeal.  I never remember it saying 'meal' in there before.  Perhaps this caused the onset of Bodhi's food alergy?

Things that make you go, hmmmmm

Anywho, I'm mixing the foods now for the adjustment.  However the guy at Benson's (note to self, get his name next time) said it will be an easy transistion since the protein/fat ratios are very similar. 

Astrid and Bodhi really like the new stuff!  I'll let you know how it goes!

I've not heard from the Dr. yet RE Bodhi's biopsy, I'll let you know there too.

Off to go snuggle with the fur family :)
