10/9/07 - Princess continues to do well here but she is still waiting to be taken to her new home.  She
and Snowy are lying in the sunny spots on the carpet right now.  They just finished up a wrestling match
and are all tired out.  Princess is still taking her 5mg prednisone dose and eating her fish & potato food
so her allergies have not bothered her at all this summer.  She is a very happy girl who loves to please.  
She and Snowy take turns sitting with me on the couch to be petted.  We put one in their kennel and
the other out on the couch with me and set the timer on the oven – equal time for both!

Princess would make someone a very good companion.  She is very attentive, smart, and playful.  
Princess is a sweet girl and just needs to be the center of attention.

7/16/07 - Princess is doing very well.  She went to see the doctor and he said she was in great shape!  
Her allergies are totally under control with her diet and 1/4 Prednisone and she is all up-to-date on her
shots.  She has been practicing walking nicely on the leash but she still pulls quite a bit as she thinks she
is the boss.  Once she realizes that she is not the boss, she settles down and walks nicely.  Princess
likes to play fetch with a plastic football in the back yard.  She will chase after it and bring it back but
she sometimes won't give it back to you.  Princess and Snowy sometimes try to get the ball away from
one another but Snowy is too big and rough and we have to tell them to stop.  Princess & Snowy still
get along ok if they are by themselves, but we can't show any attention to Snowy because Princess is
jealous. Princess is such a little snuggler and she gives kisses when you ask her to. She is very smart
and eager to please.  Princess is still waiting to be someone's "Only Dog".

4/3/07 - It is with great sadness that we forward these pictures of our Princess. We know that we have
to split Snowy and Princess up before anything really bad happens. Princess and Snowy get along great
by
themselves. The problem comes when you throw in the people and the attention - Princess can't share
her people with another dog. We have had numerous fights - and the violence is escalating.

We think Princess needs to be an only dog. She is such a good girl. She is very smart and loves to do
things to make her people happy. She is very snuggly too. She loves to be petted non-stop and will let
you know with her paw that she's not done being petted and wants more. So far, the only dog she "gets
along" with is Snowy. But that is when we are not paying attention to either of them.

She has allergies and is taking 1/4 of a prednisone every day now. (she was getting it every other day
but she started itching a lot since it has gotten warmer). We had a blood test done to see what she was
allergic to and it seems to be a little bit of everything. She is eating a fish & sweet potato food right now
that we get from the vet.

She gets along fine with people and little kids. She is such a sweetie and we really wish we didn't have
to give her up. It is very sad.


7/21/06 - I was adopted with Snowy!

7/2/06 - Snowy and Princess have arrived at the Thunder and Lightening Boxer Retreat. They were
owner surrenders to a shelter.  They came in together and apparently have always lived together.  
Although we would like to see them be able to have a home together that is probably not going to
happen. We will see how they do with the other dogs here.  Most of the time they are happy if they
have a playmate at their new home.  When they got here Melissa and I took them into the yard and
turned them loose.  They started running around marking (snowy) everywhere.  Princess could hear the
other dogs in the house barking and was getting all excited looking for them.  We will try introducing
them maybe tomorrow or the next day once they have settled down.  I will call the vets on Monday and
get them right in for a neuter appointment.  Princess has some spots on her ears that will need to be
checked out and I think she might be blind in one eye not that you would notice as it doesn't seem to
bother her any. We will update them again as we get to know them.  If you are interested in one or both
of these two get your application in today.  I'm sure they won't be with us long. ( Pictures coming
tomorrow.)

7/1/06 - Hi all,  Snowy and Princess have arrived at their foster home safe and sound.  They are earlier
than I expected, now they have time to run around before bed.  I kind of thought there would be more
traffic tie ups to get through.  I'm glad it went so well.  Thank you all for give these cuties a ride on such
a busy weekend.  We will fatten them up and get them into there forever homes soon.  Great Job
everyone.  They will sleep safe and hopefully quiet tonight.
