Have you all seen this before? Worth sharing again:

A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.
He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.
After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.
When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.
When he was close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?"
"This is Heaven, sir," the man answered.
"Wow! Would you happen to have some water?" the man asked.
"Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up."
The man gestured, and the gate began to open.
"Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog, "come in, too?" the traveler asked.
"I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets."
The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog.
After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it was always open. There was no fence.
As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.
"Excuse me!" he called to the man. "Do you have any water?"
"Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in."
"How about my friend here?" the traveler gestured to the dog.
"There should be a bowl by the pump."
They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.
The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.
When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree.
"What do you call this place?" the traveler asked.
"This is Heaven," he answered.
"Well, that's confusing," the traveler said. "The man down the road said that was Heaven, too."
"Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's hell."
"Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?"
"No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind."

You should probably play it safe and check with your vet, however fish oil works really well in keeping my girl's coat clear of dry skin - plus it's shiny and silkier. Wish I could be of more help. Good luck! ~ E

Our boxer Eva has skin allergies - but we are not sure if they are food-related. How can you tell? Do you have to get them tested at the vet?

Also, anyone know anything about the raw food diet? Is this something that helps prevent food allergies? My husband and I would like to try it but we aren't sure if it makes sense or not.

Help! Thanks! :)

I just wanted to let everyone know that my boxer I have right now is the best dog I have ever had. Not saying anything bad about any other breeds of dogs cause I like them all, but this dog is the most gently and kid friendly dog we have had. Sorry to hear about your pup Lisa.

Just found out my to wonderful pups caught pravo, it's the worst disease I've ever seen. I'm having such a hard time dealing with it and I really want them to pull through it. They have been in the hospital for 2 days and the vet has made us pay over $300 to keep them there and their treatment going on; I just hope the vet doesn't tell me tomorrow that if I don't pay they can't keep treating them. Sometimes the world makes know sence I wish you didn't have to pay to help out the ones you love. Money is always an issue and it's paper that grows on trees. I don't know what i'm going to do if I lose them. It's so hard to even think about what me and my boyfriend are going to have to do to help them I don't want to lose them, but we don't have the money. It's all a crock of bullshit and it"s not fair. They shouldn't have to suffer and the vet shouldn't get our hopes up if there's nothing that can be done. I just hope, and pray they pull through this. I love my pups as if they were my own children...HOPE and PRAY!!!

i think boxers are definitly their own breed. we rescued a two year old from the pound and he is like a big kid that listens quite well. he is well mannered and loves his wrinkles to be rubbed!!!
