The Big Scare

Earlier this morning Bo one of the little boys got a hold of some hair get. We have no clue how he got it because it was up on the book shelf so he had to climb to get it. Anyway the boy got it and gave it to Bo while my dad was in the bathroom (my mom and sister were at soccer and I was sleeping) Anyway my dad came out and saw what happened and took the bottle. I didn't find out about it until maybe an hour or so after it had happened parents said to try and get Bo running around I was like why? they told me what happened and now I was just ticked off for multiple reasons I guess mostly because I didn't find out about it until hours later.

So I took him outside and that's when I noticed the hives. God they were all over his body and he couldn't get comfortable. Thank god for this one forum I belong to otherwise I never would have known what to do. Sadly we didn't have any benadryl so I had sent my dad out to get some and gave Bo a few tablets.

Anyway now 5 or so hours later the hives are pretty much gone. He's still acting normal and shows no signs of lethargy or anything. So I'm thinking we're in the clear, but I'm still watching him like a hawk and keeping the phone near by just in case

Camping out in the living room!

My sisters decided they were going to sleep on the air mattress in the living room last night. Bo decided he would join them. Abby on the other hand preferred sleeping with me in my bedroom(spoiled brat!). I came out when they were fitting to go to sleep and snapped a few pictures.

Went for a Swim...

And I totally wasn't expecting it. We took the dogs to the lake like usual and was throwing toys for Abby to retrieve. My dad was holding Bo and my sister and her friend were just watching and minding their own business. After a while I took Bo's leash from my dad and walked down to the water. Oh course I was thinking hey it's Bo he hates water so what the heck.

Next thing I know Abby sprints after the ducks and I wasn't expecting a reaction from Bo, but sure enough he shot off after her and charged into the water. I was standing way to close to the edge of the bank and of course ended up soaked to the bone.

HA! everyone was cracking up over it, but I just sat there like what the hell just happened and here comes Bo trotting up to me like "watcha doin in there?" and started waggin his nub and kidney beaning around m.

I do have some pics and I'll try to have some uploaded laterz if possible

Intro

This blog here is for my dog Bo. I'll try and update as frequently as possible with his training and just life in general. Bo is our 2 year old Fawn boxer boy who came from what I would describe as a BYB(uneducated about breeders at the time). Despite that he is a great dog. He's got an amazing temperament. Loves children and other animals. Bo was raised around young children and therefore loves them to death. Bo and I currently work on back yard agility, obedience, and frisbee. We have yet to compete and maybe in the future we will, but as of now it's just for fun.

He is the second dog in the household and the second dog I have owned. My girl Abby was the one who introduced me to the wonderful life of dog ownership and Bo is the dog who introduced me into the wonderful life of owning boxers. Boxers are truly my heart breed and I will always own one, but I do intend for my next dog to be an Australian Shepherd.

Boxers are all around goof balls and that's what I love best about the breed. They also have great drive and are great with kids. In fact they pretty much are kids themselves personality wise.

Anywho here's a pic of my boy taken around 5ish months of age
