| MOBY |
UPDATE 12/26/11 - We seem to be one of the people last year that our "2010" update seemed not to
make it to MOBY's update. God we love our MOBY. Moby is always the dog who is in trouble at
times but we must say he has been the first Boxer out of the five (six dogs total) we have had that we
adore him so much and our favorite thing to say is when he is getting into trouble or looking for attention
is "thats MOBY". He is the most lovable dog and will do anything to give us love and boxer kisses!!!
We can't believe he is around six to seven years old. He is getting gray in the face and we have some
question as we think he is having problems seeing out of his right eye. He recieved a scratched eye from
hard playing with our other boxer female (Weasie) and the vet was concerned that he might have
trouble with the eye after that. My groomer who he goes to get his bathes from, thinks he is not seeing
well out of his right eye also as the way he looks at her and us mostly with he left eye. We notice
d this past summer that his judgement sometimes when he is running in the backyard with our girl
DAISY he sometimes doen't judge his jumping of things like he used to. He will sometimes knock over
a small fence we have in our backyard since he came to live with us where as before he would fly right
over it with the greatest of ease. Otherwise he is great and is on his heartworm medication year round
to keep up his health as he previously was treated for heartworm right before we got him thru this
rescue. We did the Pet expo in Wilmingtom Ma as he did very well for being there from eight to six in
the evening. He had a great time meeting and greeting everyone as he just loves everyone. He came
home that night and the next day i don't think he left our bed he was so tired but we had so much fun. I
walked him around to the other booths at the expo and had a nice time visting with the other Boxer
rescues there and they thought he was so beautiful and well behaved. Thank you all at Second chance
boxer rescue as we can't thank them enought for having the chance to adopt our Moby who has bought
so much to our family. Happy 2012. Best of health to everyone and our four legged babies also.
UPDATE 12/31/09 - Can't believe that another year has gone by - had him (2) years! He gets along
famously with his new girlfriend "Daisy" who was adopted in July of '09. He is in tremendous health
and is as "IMPY" as ever. He is even teaching Daisy all of his impish ways. We always just say,
"Moby being Moby". He is the head of the dog household as the king dog in every way. He is the head
of the dog household as the king dog in every way since the passing of Rusty last year. He is ingrained
in our family so much We could not imagine life without him. My son Jonathan graduated from college
in May and has been living at home again and Moby and Daisy are in there glory as they have someone
else that loves to give them allot of attention, even if it is him sharing a warm bed with them.
Thanks to the great work you all provide for all of us Boxer lovers! We all love our Boxer's and can't
thank the group enough to help us to have these beautiful dogs and the time and effort to make sure
they are able to have great homes and another chance of happiness!!!!!. There is no other breed like
them as every boxer owner will tell you. He is ingrained in our family so much We could not imagine life
without him. Thanks to the great work you all provide for us Boxer lovers!
UPDATE 1/1/09 - 1 year update:
Moby has been part of our life for (1) full year. Moby is a loyal companion. He alerts us if anything is
wrong, he brings joy to our household when everything is fine. Moby is an accomplished hunter. He
has caught (and brought to the door and into the house) live birds, rodents and squirrels. (P.S. the
squirrel got away but left several cuts on Moby's face in the process) Moby is now the elder statesman
in the house as our longtime boxer, Rusty, passed on the week before thanksgiving. Moby wears his
new "crown" well. He pals around with our newest arrival "Weasie" who is a year and 1/2 old female
boxer. They are boyfriend and girlfriend. We haven't figured out who is the dominant dog in the house
as of yet. Moby is still very much an "IMP". Whenever the opportunity arises for mischief or trouble,
Moby will be standing there red-handed and up to his eyeballs in trouble. We love him all the more
despite his exploits. Moby is a cool dog who is well like by everyone who knows and gets to meet
him. We call him "The good looking one". We think he knows what it means by the way he struts
around the house! Thanks again Second Chance Boxer Rescue for bringing Moby into our lives!
UPDATE 7/14/08 - We got the results and MOBY heartworm is fine. That a great relief. Just a pill a
month for the rest of his life with rechecking every year. It is amazing how treatment for heartworm is so
effective and other illness's can be treated. If they could only find the cure for cancer in boxers and
other dogs we would be all set.
UPDATE 7/5/08 - We can' t believe we have had him for 6 months already........ We call him our
"Imp" but we love him dearly. He is such a love bug....We adore him dearly!!!!!Hopefully everyone had
a great fourth of july. The day after i sent in his update(6/29/08) he was up on the pool deck sleeping
next to our daughter Alisha on the deck!!!!! But he didn't jump into the pool. He is always doing
something to make us laugh. So different than our other two boxers.
UPDATE 6/29/08 - Moby is doing great. He will be going this week for a recheck blood work to
check the statis of his heartworm treatment from before. He has been on pills every month since we got
him.He loves everyone and he such a love bug. His new thing when it is hot is to put his face into the
automatic sprinkler system in our backyard. He gets all wet and thinks nothing of it to cool down. He
has tried to go up the stairs to the pool but won't step on the deck as of yet. We are trying to not invite
him up as we don't want him in our pool with the liner. Rusty, our other dog who has mask cell cancer
is doing pretty good and Moby is at his side most of the time. Both dogs love the groomer and Moby
has become very confortable with her. He is also doing well will his nails being cut by her also. Over all
he is doing great and we love him dearly. He is still the biggest "imp" we've ever seen!
UPDATE 3/30/08 - Moby is doing great! He is at the point that he can predict everything that goes
on in our household. (he has everyone's routine down perfectly). He still has his spats with our 10 year
old boxer, Rusty, but he still follows him around all day. I think this is part of the dominant dog thing.
Most of his spats come from him taking something that Rusty believes is his. Moby does not have an
aggresive bone in his body. He loves everyone. Moby will do ANYTHING to get attention.
Moby went to the groomers for the first time with Rusty and everything went fine. Our groomer felt that
he has a great disposition and seems like a great mutt. He didn't like getting his nails clipped however.
Moby thinks he is the ultimate hunter. He hasn't caught any squirrels, etc. as of yet. There are plenty of
critters running around our yard to keep him busy.
Moby is doing great!
UPDATE 2/29/08 - Let us start by saying that Moby is doing great. We'd have to say that both Moby
and the family have adjusted nicely to each other. Moby is a VERY high energy pooch. Our first
boxer (who passed away three years ago) was similar except for Moby's "impish" tendencies. He is like
a small child that is constantly getting himself in trouble. Not real bad things, just stuff like he'll
disappear for a moment and then reappear as a blur going by with one of your favorite leather boots
dangling from his mouth. We deal with him and then exclaim " that's Moby!".
Moby is an extremely loving dog. We know that he doesn't have a bad bone in his body. He's just
such an IMP!
Moby is also a tremendous watchdog. He knows everything that goes on around our house and also in
the neighborhood. He's gotten used to our neighbors and our routines. He's definitely the best watch
pooch we've every had. All in all, he's solidly a part of our family. Our older boxer, Rusty, still has
some "Wild Kingdom" moments with him (once or twice a week) but is hanging out with him at every
opportunity. They are always together. We also take Moby everywhere with us.
To sum things up, we're thrilled that Moby has entered our life.
UPDATE 1/27/08 - We adopted MOBY on 12/29/07 and he joined our family which includes
RUSTY a (Fawn) 10 year old Boxer. This is our 3rd boxer. I previously had a brindle boxer like Moby
for 13 years named ROCKY (adopted at one year). Rocky died of cancer but also had sub aortic
stenosis(a heart murmur) and we never had problems with this murmur as he was ultrasounded many
times during his life. Moby is doing great and went to the vet last week to follow up to his heart worm
treatment and also had roundworm (which we are treating). The vet said he is beautiful and a great
behaved dog. Moby seem to like everyone he meets. He has adjusted well as both of our children were
home for a few weeks for there college break . Right now both boxers are missing the children but they
will get use to it again. He loves to ride in the car and also love his walks. When we work, he goes in
the crate for about 5 hours and just enters his crate will no problems. He sleeps on our bed with my
husband Jay and myself as Rusty has a bed on the floor where he can stretch out to sleep. Moby sleeps
in a ball all rolled up. Moby races around our fenced in yard and Rusty just kind of watches him (as his
back legs can't keep up with Moby). It has helped Rusty (Rusty has Mask Cell Cancer which we found
out after we started the adoption process) as I think he not as lonely as before when he was alone. We
are happy to have two Boxers in our lives again and plan on never having just one again as it is so much
easily and better on the dogs to have someone to be with, play with, and spend time with our family.
We are glad to give a dog a home as Rusty we got as a puppy and everyone wants a puppy but it nice
to get a older dog who really needed a home. Moby is the ultimate imp. He gets himself in trouble
(small things) every two minutes. Then he runs around wagging his tail, and shaking that body as much
as to say, "hey don't you love me?" He is a howl. We joined the online group
(scbr@yahoogroups.com) and find it very informative with a lot of good information shared by
everyone.
12/29/07 - Moby has been adopted!
11/3/07 - Moby has arrived at the Boxer Bungalow on the Links. Thanks to Carol and George for
picking him up from the vet. Moby was a stray and was brought in with a collar embedded around his
neck. They think he's between 9-12 months, but I think he may be a little older. He's a beautiful, tall,
neutered, brindle boy who's a little on the thin side, but is in great shape otherwise. He prances when he
walks and it's pretty amazing to watch. We also found out that he won't be staying here for long as he
is heartworm positive and needs treatment and a place to recover - in peace and that's not the
Bungalow. The Bungalow has a very busy lifestyle and Moby will need to rest while he is treated. So
when Moby gets to his new foster home - we'll let you know. Once this boy is finished with his
treatment he will make an excellent part to any family. He gets along with kids both young and old and
actually likes my husband. The last foster we had was a little timid with men. He did try to pull rank on
Riley, but she put him in his place. I think he's actually very afraid of her- so he sort of stays away from
her. That's all for tonight. I'll send his beautiful pictures tomorrow.
make it to MOBY's update. God we love our MOBY. Moby is always the dog who is in trouble at
