time (ex: work at home, stay at home Mom or Dad, work opposite shifts, retired, etc).**
11/22/05 - Well, Brady has been with us over a week now and words just can't tell you how wonderful and sweet
this dog is! I have my own Boxer-Boy and have fostered quite a few over the last five years, but none have touched
my heart like this lovable little guy! Let me say that being deaf is in NO WAY a handicap to this boy. We try to have at
least one or two short training sessions daily and he has learned quite a few hand signals already. He now knows
sit, down, stay, come, good boy, no, quiet, night-night and love you! He 'knows' the commands but we're still
working on responding to each one a hundred percent. To be fair, he is just a puppy and I can tell you that my own
'hearing' dog took far longer to learn these basic commands. His house training is coming along and the few
times that he's peed in the house were my fault for letting him play and drink water like crazy and not taking him out
every 2-3 hours. However, he sleeps in his crate all night long (8-9 hours) without an accident and makes it
outside (4 flights of stairs) EVERY time! He has never pooped in the house.
Personality-wise, you will not find a more affectionate and loving Boxer Baby! He's not clingy like velcro but when
play time with his foster brother is over (he sets the schedule) he will snuggle up on the couch with you and snore
like a hound dog! Also, for being a puppy he (on his own) balances play time and quiet time quite evenly. He has a
blast wrestling and playing with Mickey, yet is just as content relaxing on the floor and watching all the goings-on.
He is also great at entertaining himself with a ball or toy when Mickey can't keep up with his energy level. He's
always happy to see you and greets you with tons of boxer wiggles and sloppy smooches! His 'no-jumping' skills
are improving and I think that will happen with time, as puppies are just so darn excitable! He's wonderful about
going into the crate when told to and doesn't bark or whine when you give him the 'sshhhhh' signal. He has never
once shown any signs of separation anxiety either.
Other than having to physically get his attention when you want to give him a command, he is pretty much NO
different than a hearing dog. He has been known to sleep through some serious commotion though and you do
have to be careful in waking him up so as not to startle him. There are just no words to describe what this little
bugger will do to your heart! Please consider opening your heart and home to little Brady and warm up your
holidays with the pure and unconditional love that this sweet boy is just waiting to give!
11/14/05 - Hi Folks, Brady here! Although I hail from New York, I’m already the biggest Patriots fan ever! Foster-
Mom & Dad picked me up at the vet’s in NY yesterday and it was a very long drive back to Massachusetts. Iâ
€™m very cute and cuddly and I have tons and tons of Boxer-Pup energy! Right now I have to stay quiet because Iâ
€™m recovering from a neutering and hernia surgery. Yeah, right! I’ve been having so much fun playing with my
foster brother Mickey but FM keeps it to a minimum – she’s no fun!
Although I can’t hear you, I am very, very smart. I already know the hand signals “sitâ€�, “thumbs-up!â
€� and will be working on others over the next few weeks. For the most part I am potty trained, but cut me some
slack – I’m only five months old and have been bounced around a lot these last few weeks! I don’t
complain at all when put in my crate either, because I know that down time is good for me. FM says that I’m
extremely social because I love everyone I meet, human or canine! If you wanna hang out with me, you better
expect lots and lots of smooches! My leash skills need some work and I tend to get jumpy when I haven’t seen
you in a while but nothing that I can’t work on – I’m just a baby!
So don’t forget to check back in with me – I know I will have lots to tell you in my next update! See you soon!
