Subject: The Best Dog Ever
Hi Anita!
I just wanted to up date you on how Ramsey is doing. What a super puppy he is. He has so much personality---loves to fetch, run, play---then lounge around on the furniture or in the yard. He has become my walking buddy, too. He's great on leash. He is growing so fast...he now weighs 54 pounds! We worked on the potty training all summer. He usually comes to let me know when he needs to go out. He's doing very good now--only the occasional accident (when I don't pay close enough attention). At bedtime, we leave him out in our bedroom, to either sleep on his pillow or in his crate (he always ends up in the crate within about 10 minutes and stays there all night). He was sad to see us go back to school last week--and we miss him everyday...but he is delighted to see us when we get home. I'm attaching some pics...enjoy.
And again, thank you for this wonderful, beautiful part of our family! He is a blessing and makes us smile all the time.

Boxer Testimonials
Anita-
Bella is great. She has the personality of a lion! She is Queen B of the house and thinks we should wait on her hand and foot! She is about 50 pounds still pretty small and very cute. We did end up getting her fixed as we knew breeding would be to much for us to handle! Just the other day she found a Copper Head snake to play with thank God she did not get bitten! When my husband and I went to see what she was barking at her and the snake were eye to eye and of course she ran right into Daddy's arms he had to hold her for an hour!
Her and Braxton play all the time and freak out if they are not with each other but she rules the house and he has learned she is a woman-just go along with it!
I will send you some photos soon hope all is well. How are her parents doing?
Regards, Kay
Anita,
Sugar is doing great. She's so smart it's unbelievable. She's about 50lbs. now. Through time I can tell she's going to be a jumper like her father. My boyfriend fell in love with her the first day he saw her.
I took her to NY to see my parents
and she had a blast with Mickey
(my parents dog).
We've taught her to lie down,
give paw, roll over, play dead
and speak. She's almost learned
to sit pretty. We've also
taught her to ring a bell that we
tied to the doorknob, to let us know she needs to go potty. She's clever because she will ring it when she wants more attention. Please feel free to visit if you ever take a trip to Myrtle Beach. I hope all is well.
Sincerely, Jennifer
Anita,
Nikki is doing great. Everybody loves her. She is getting along great with our American Bulldog, Roxy. The two of them play all the time until it is time to eat and take a
nap! The vet said that she looks like
she is in great health and could not
believe how well behaved she is for
a puppy.
We all think that pretty soon these
two dogs will be inseperable.
My boyfriend, Mitch, is already in love
with her. We had made a rule that she wasn't going to be allowed on the couch, and he was already sleeping with her on the couch last night. We will keep you posted.
Thank you! Amy
Hey Anita,
We are enjoying the new addition to our family very much. We have named her Sadie (known to mean princess). She has a wonderful temperment and is very smart. She has only had two accidents in the house and already knows the word "Drop".
We have a vet appointment tomorrow
for vaccinations and microchiping.
She loves all the other dogs our friends
and family have as well as all the kids
running around the house. She is pretty
much crate trained already too. Her
favorite toy is this rope. Attached is a
picture of her playing with it. We will definately keep you updated as she grows. She is a beautiful puppy!
Thanks!!
Mandy and Marshall
Just wanted to wish your family a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Mickey is doing great and taking to the baby. Mickey and the baby are inseparable.
Thanks again and Merry Christmas

Hey Anita,
I'm sorry I haven't written in a while. Things are going just fine here. Sophie is just the best thing that's happened to me in I don't know how long.
Thank you soooo much!! She's a mess at times, but she is just right for me. She is the biggest cuddler I've ever seen!! She sleeps with me every night and nuzzles up to me when she goes to sleep! Heck, she's been sleeping in my lap in the den for the last hour!I took a couple pictures of her the other day with her on my lap as I was checking my e-mail. Thought you might get a kick out of them.
Hoping all is well with you and Kenneth.
Take care!!

Snuggs is doing great. I am not sure if I told you but his AKC paperwork states his name is SNUGGY BEAR. He is still doing great with our daughter. If you dont mind me sending a video over email that you might have to download to view depending on what you have on your computer I can send a cute video of snuggs playing with emma and her friend. We took Snuggs on vacation with us he had to travel in his crate because he still gets a bit car sick on trips. He loves to go swimming in emmas baby pool and ventured into the St. Lawerence river in NY while on vacation. He plays so well with other dogs. He got to visit his aunt and uncle (Chad's fathers boxers, Tyson and Bailey) They played really well. He likes to steal baby dolls from emma's room and poor disney princess got her arm chewed off. He still thinks he is a little puppy and wants to cuddle up in my lap when i sit on the floor but he is way to big and always getting bigger. He has a flashy fawn boxer girlfriend that lives next door.
Hope you enjoy the pictures of Snugg I attached.

Hi Anita,
Took a few pics the other day to send to some friends in Charleston, I thought I would send them on to you.
Anna is about 55 pounds now, and what a mess. Loves to play, rolls around on her back with a toy in her mouth and paws. She was the perfect match for Sluggo. They love to run together. Anyway, enjoy the pics. Notice the ears, almost always 1 of them flopped up, should have had them cut I guess. Kept hoping they
would fall forward as the shape of her head developed.
Kenny
Hi Anita,
Can I tell you what a good boy Chauncey is. He is so well mannered and sits pretty all the time. Everyone compliments us on him. I wanted to share a picture of him with you because he has grown sooooo much in 2 weeks. I thought you would get a kick out of it. He goes to the door when he has to poddy now - we've been on top of the poddy training big time - and when I come home from work he comes running towards me with the nub shaking and doing the boxer wiggle dance for me. His energy is picking up more and more everyday and he likes to run circles like a horse around the trees in the backyard in a figure 8. Its HILARIOUS! My last boxer did that too and its so funny to see how they all have certain characteristics. Also, I attached a picture of him with his favorite toy...Mr. Carrot. Its like that commercial if you've seen it where this dog has this toy and takes it everywhere that is gets ratty....well that is Chauncey and Mr. Carrot. He sleeps with him too. HA!
Take Care,
Elizabeth
Hi Anita,
Just wanted to give you a quick update. Kona went to the Vets today for his 12 week shots, and he is 14.4 pounds! He is getting so big! He actually looks just like Ellie did in that picture you sent us a long time ago. He is the spitting image of her! Our vet told us that she thinks he is going to be bigger then average because he has a lot of extra skin and his paws are getting so big. We love him so much and everything is great with him! I attached a few photos for you to see how he is growing.
Hope all is well,
Alana
Hi Anita--
Stuart and I wanted to send you a little Baboos cheer (since he makes us so happy everyday)! He is such a wonderful puppy. He is growing up so quickly! We took him to my parents house over Thanksgiving and he was in heaven! We have a 12 year old Westy and 3 cats. He had the best manners I've ever seen a puppy have and my mom liked him so much, she made a you tube video with him that I wanted to share with you. She likes to refer to him as her "grand doggy" -hah! I have also attached some pictures. They aren't as recent as the video, but still extremely cute. I hope this brings a smile to your face! Thank you again for our puppy and all the help you gave us.
Sincerely,
Denise & Stuart
Anita
Hope all is well.. The babies are getting so big. They are inseparable. They love each other so much and than will fight like they are brother and sister. Lefty loves everyone, he loves to give big kiss'. Hope is a little cutie pie she gets a little more nervous than Lefty. The kids just love them so much, they run , play, rough house you name it. Gary and I have to get our sugars after the kids go to bed. They are doing good with sit, speak, come, potty outside. They know daddy gives treats for tricks. Im sending some pics I took a couple days ago. Have a wonderful Christmas.
Talk with you soon
Allison
Good morning Anita,
Hope all is well. Denise took these pictures the other day and I thought they would give you a pretty good idea of how Baboos is doing. We just got him neutered this past week and it didn't even seem like he had the surgery. He never lost any of his excitement or energy. Baboos is such a great dog and he is great to have around the house. We love him so much. We will talk to you later. Enjoy the pictures. He is about 60 pounds now!
Stuart
Hi Anita,
I just wanted to fill you in on how Kona is doing. He is amazing! Such a BIG baby! He is 50lbs now and still growing. We go for a run every morning at the park and he loves it. He is so well behaved with all other dogs, all he wants to do is play. He fits the stereotypes of the breed... He has a big sense of humor and is always playful and very very stubborn. Everywhere that we go, people constantly stop us and comment on how handsome he is.
We could not have asked for a better or more handsome dog and we couldn't be happier with him!
Alana
Hey Anita,
I know it's been a good while since I've sent you an updated photo of
Sophie. I took this on Monday when we got so much snow. It was her first "big snow" and she didn't know what in the world to do with it! But hasn't she grown into such a beautiful girl? She's still my ray of sunshine everyday and sleeps with me every night. She the sweetest soul!! And did I mention she curls up in my lap every night to watch tv as well?? She's not the least bit spoiled or anything. (ha! ha!)
Hope you are well......and I'll try not to make it so long between updates!
Prayers,
Julie
Hi Anita!
We wanted to let you know how our little, or should I say BIG, Chauncey boy is doing! He was from Kain and Lacy's Aug 22 2008 litter. We love him more than words can describe. He just so sweet and he' s gotten to be quite the lady's man. Everyone stops when we walk him and complements on what a beautiful Boxer he is and asks where in the world did we get him. Of course, I tell them a darn good breeder! He loves to play ball in the yard, go for his many daily walks, do his figure 8's in the yard, lay in the sun, sleep with his head on the pillow, and of course give kisses! He is the silliest, most loving boy. Here are a few recent pictures of him! We are taking him to the beach soon for his first beach trip...this should be interesting! :)
To make up for lost time, I have attached a halloween picture from last year - he was a devil bat, christmas picture, snow picture from our snow back in february, a picture of him laying in the sun on Easter, and two more taken recently (past month). You can see how big he's gotten! He was 60 lbs two weeks ago! He's been taking me for the walks recently :) haha.
Till next time, take care! And we'll talk to you soon!

Lets start off by saying they are our world. They have grown so much in 9 months. Lefty weighs over 50 pounds, he is a horse. Hope is more petite, and not as leggy as Lefty. They are inseparable. He has to be touching her to sleep at night. Gary is in the middle of putting a fence up in the yard, and Hope and Lefty just lay out there and watch him. They stay right in the yard, they will wonder off in the woods sometimes but as soon as you call them, here comes the stampede. They are such good listeners. Gary swears sometimes we have goats instead of dogs. They will eat anything, the have eaten threw a wooden door in our shed, yes a door, daddy was not happy with that. But for the most part its been great. The kids love to get outside and play football or just rough house with them. They both are soooo good with the kids. They know the difference between playing with the boys and playing with Raygan, they are so much easier with her. Gary's mom and dad live next door, so Raygan likes to go visit them alot. Hope will follow Raygan down the hill, walk up on the porch with her and wait for her to go in, then Hope comes back to our house, she is really protective over her. As you will notice Lefty has a severe under bite, which makes him even cuter. We just laugh when his bottom teeth stick out, sometimes his tongue even sticks out like he would have a lisp if he talked. As one of my friends said when she saw the picture of Lefty "That's a face only a mother could love". And boy we do. Hope has the most sweetest little face. She looks like she could be a poster dog for Boxers. She is my heart. She is soooo fast, she will out maneuver Lefty in a minute. Hope loves any kind of balls. She will find a ball anywhere and lay there for hours and chew (well until Lefty takes it). Ive learned also, don't buy them 2 of something, they only want what the other one has. They will both drop their bones or treats to get the others, and they are the same thing. They are so funny. Well I know your busy.... so have fun with these pics and show everyone how pecoius they are.HAHA.

Hi Anita!
I know I haven't sent any pictures of Ramsey in a while, but you were on my
mind! He is still the love of our lives. We could not imagine what life would be like around here without him. You would not believe the number of times we just look at him and think about what a blessing he is, or what a wonderful dog he is, or how beautiful he is..... ( the list could go on and on!!!) He will be three soon, but has not settled down at all...still all puppy! He is so relaxed and laid back when it is just us here at home (unless Jimmy get him excited playing); but when company comes...he can hardly contain himself---he loves visitors and lets them know it by jumping all over them. He's a mess.
I'm attaching our Christmas card picture and a few other recent shots of our
boy.
Hope you're doing well and still raising lots of wonderful boxers!

I took some pictures of the dogs this weekend and thought you might enjoy them. Stevie is huge! I think he will end up being the biggest one out of the three. He has the longest legs and is already is taller than Riley!
All three of them are such a joy and we love having them in
our life.
Again I hope all is well and enjoy the pictures!

I thought I would send you a quick email about Bella and Snuggs. They are both doing great Bella has adjusted wonderfully. The two of them are partners in crime. I attached 2 photos of them. We have never had an issue with them getting along at all and they sleep with each other. Bella uses Snuggs butt as a pillow. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Anita,
Thought you might enjoy this picture of Ali (after Muhammad Ali). I kept him for Stephanie and Jay while they were out of town. I was so amazed to see that his personality is very much like Jager's. He is very laid back and extremely sweet! I introduced him to Jager's sisters (Shakey & Rosie) and they all had a ball playing together. It was so nice to see that all the other dogs
accepted him so easily! I don't know what your secret is......but you have the best Boxers!!! They are not only beautiful, but they have the best temperaments
Thanks again for everything.
