Good Betty. Glad you had a good day.

I'm fostering a boxer boy for two weeks. Oh my, he is a wonderful dog but oh my my he is big!! My kids want me to have a bogger dog who can be trained to help open doors and other things. I have some problems with my hands from RA.

I like him a lot. He's so good with my 10 mo old grandson. Lets him pull on his skin, climb over him, pet him with a hard pat. He really likes Tink and Tink is quite comfortable with him now. Took a couple of days but tink isn't afraid of him any more. She doesn't like it when he puts his paw on her though. She just runs away.

BUT he is too big for me. It's too hard pushing him off of me or stepping over him. My back is fused and very fragile and I don't have good use of one leg now. I can't run the risk of him knocking me over or my falling over him. He is so good he wouldn't hurt me on purpose but his size is the problem.

So maybe a smaller boxer. I'm looking at a smaller girl who is supposed to be good with babies and small dogs. The foster coordinator will be back in town today so I'm gonna call her. Sigh...
