Chica and Zeus

Posted on November 04, 2011 by BoxerMom

Hi Everyone at Animatch,

We just wanted to update everyone on how happy chica and zeus are! they both just completed training at tri l kennel with larry, we LOVE Larry!! Chica is doing so much better with other dogs and people,she doesn’t go crazy when she see a person or dog on the street. She doesn’t hurt herself in her crate anymore and doesn’t have that anxiety she did before.Shes gained weight and looks amazing! Chica is also getting used to my parents dogs slowly but surely, she can walk beside the lab and hound without going too crazy but the other little boxer and her have Turf issues . we go for walks with them and they don’t pull us down the street which is good because Zeus is one big dog! Zeus lost weight and has his thyroid condition under control and his eye is all healed, hes so happy! hes like a puppy!

The picture i thought everyone would like is Chica and Zeus in Chica’s crate. Carl and i were cleaning out the office where we keep chica’s crate and moved the crate but kept the door open, we turn around for 5minutes and look back and their BOTH sitting in it! we thought it was too funny so we closed the door to snap a picture (but let them out right after )

Very cute photo! I commend you for working so hard with Chica to overcome her dislike for some dogs; there is never any question of giving up. Both Chica and Zeus are lucky Boxers.

Thanks Joanne! we both feel the same way, there’s no excuse to just give up on a dog like Chica. We went to the expert, got his opinion and went from there. Even if we would have been told there’s nothing we could have done for her aggression we would still love her the same! She’s getting better and better, soon we will be in for a visit with the both of them

Congrats BoxerMom for your devotion to the furbabies. I too am 100% committed to working out the issues our adoptees may have. When we decide to adopt; we do so not just with our hearts, we do so with serious thoughts and with our eyes wide open to ALL OF THE POSIBILITIES. We do not adopt the picture of the cute furbaby on the webpage. If so, I’d get myself a scrapbook.

Rescues do not know ALL of the history on our furbabies most are strays, dumped etc….those that are owner surrendered do not have the real story neither We find out as we live and share with our adoptees… we work out the good - the bad and the ugly because we care - we love and have all of the intentions of growing old with them by our sides.
