Temple (now Kali)

Kali is doing very well. We feel very fortunate to have her. She and I recently started jogging with a neighbor and her black lab, Gus. Now that the weather is getting warmer, we plan to make that a daily routine. Here are some recent pics of Kali.

DAISY HARRIS

Just wanted to send a quick update about our little girl Daisy. Steve and I believe that Daisy just "knows" that she is meant to be here, we can't get over how awesome she is and how easy this has been. Jake and Daisy are two peas in a pod and I have ever seen a FASTER dog in my whole life - Daisy runs circles around Jake in the backyard! Both "kiddos" sleep on separate puppy beds in our bedroom and are so great...we tell them "go lay in your bed" and they both curl up on their beds and fall asleep VERY easy (due to all the running around daily). Every morning, I am awakened by HEAVY breathing coming from both of them which is just their polite way of telling me they need outside and also need some breakfast (there have been a few mornings I feel like I could sleep until noon lately). After breakfast is usually a little play time with all the toys we have (Jake likes to share with Daisy) inside and they get a little lazy. In the afternoon is the playtime outside (and in the evening as well). Jake and Daisy LOVE LOVE LOVE running around the backyard, chasing each other and exploring in the bushes behind the fish pond. Daisy is SO fast, she looks like a deer and Steve & I laugh watching her, she taunts Jake and then takes off across the backyard waiting for Jake. Poor Jake is not so fast but he tries to block her path to catch up with her and it looks like they are little kids playing hide-n-seek. We have not seen any signs of them not getting along, Daisy will get after Jake a few times and Jake does the same just playing...I think the only hard thing for Jake is the attention being split between the two of them now. We took Daisy to the vet yesterday to get a second opinion on her skin/hair and we are treating her with medicines to see if we can't restore her hair...Dr. Amyx had great information for us and we will do what we can to make sure she has the best care and results. Everything is great at The Morgan household!

Ben

Hi my name is Ben. I might not be the most regal or handsome of boxers but I have a story to tell. I used to live on the streets and had to fight for what I had but one day I found myself at the Lonestar Boxer Rescue and did not have to fight any more. I had a hard life but I really don’t remember much about that any more. I stayed with Lonestar for a long time.

Then one day, after a year or so I’m told, these 2 brindle beauties came to see me. I really liked them a lot and they had 2 humans! One human seemed ok, she didn’t get in my face or crowd me at all but the other one was not too sure about me. I heard her say to Ms. Bobbie “he is huge!” and she stayed kind of close to watch me with the girls. After a little bit, I got a little excited and almost knocked her down. I didn’t think I would get to see them again after that, but then after a little bit I heard the humans talking and the one with the funny eyes said I could come!

I went with them to a new place that had a lot of grass. After being on my own with just the Lonestar people for company, suddenly I had this huge place to roam around. I had to make the rounds to make sure that everything was ok! It was hard the first couple of weeks because I wasn’t use to patrolling such a big area anymore. I had to make the rounds several times a day to be certain that everything was ok, after all, I had 2 brindle beauties to take care of and 2 humans!

Anyway, I am doing much better now. I take care of the little brindle beauty; her tag reads Xena, and the big brindle beauty that they always call Beauty. The little one is still very nervous and afraid, but she did not have Lonestar to help her like I did. So, I have to teach her that she will be okay and she is doing a lot better now that I have been here for a while.

One of the best things I have found here is that I have a cute tiny little human that comes over sometimes! She gives me hugs that pull all my skin up around my head! She sits on my back and uses my ears for handles. I think that she thinks I am her motorcycle or maybe her very own white horse! I like her a lot because she gives me big kisses and hugs! All I can say is that nobody better mess with my humans now!

Thank you Lonestar for finding me the perfect forever home!

Love, Ben

We want to update Lone Star Boxer Rescue on our little girl, Bella, we got back in October, 2008. As you can see from the attached pictures, Bella loves her stuffed toys. She and our labrador, Khallie chase each other to see who can carry the toy to Mom and Dad for toss and catch. Bella is an absolute joy to have and she is socializing with the neighborhood dogs and neighbors like a pro. She loves people and gets along with other dogs very well. She is even going on walks with a young dog a neighbor friend adopted and helping Sissy learn her social and walking skills. Sissy just thinks Bella is the cat's meow. During her two sessions for heartworm treatment, the vet clinic staff fell in love with her. She has finished the treatments with flying colors and Dr. McCoy is very happy with the blood tests and Bella's progress. We think Bella is happy to have it all done because she came home after the second course of treatment just full of non-stop smiles. She knows she is in her forever home and is having fun meeting so many new people and dog friends. Her next challenge will be to travel with us with our travel trailer but we just know this social loving girl will take to trailer camping like a duck to water. She is already a pro at car travel. Thank you again for all Lone Star Boxer does for this wonderful breed and thank you for helping us bring this new delight into our lives. She is a true cuddle bug after our own hearts. Keep up the great work and please post this so others can realize what a perfect breed the Boxer is to have in your homes. Shelley Polette Clear Lake City, TX

KALLAN

Hi, Paula Ol' "Kali Bear" is fitting right in with our household. She and the boys get along just fine and they are beginning to really play & sleep & eat together. We have really enjoyed having her, she is so sweet, calm,and laid-back. We took her to our vet so he could get a base line on her and everything appeared to be OK. So far, we think Kallan is a really good match for us and our life style.
