Weird Boxer Behavior

Woody does the same thing Chasey. He'll just walk over and drop his head in my lap. Then my heart melts. I love an affectionate dog.
Jake lays on the back of the chair like a cat and snuggles around my neck. That's ok for the winter, but in the summer? Too hot!

Chasey, about a month or so ago, Lily did the same thing to me... VERY wierd. Both of my dogs are very affectionate, but she was like Saran Wrap - I started checking her over, wondering if she was hurt... Then asking her if I was okay! :lol:

The Huskies have always been way more in tune - they'd stand outside of the bathroom if I was ill, or nestle around me if sad.

This last visit, Nikolai would work on his chew toys by/on my shoes, usually leaving it on top of them when he would tire of it :dead:

Maybe he just senses something passing or something to come... :shrug:

Maybe something was bothering him and he just wanted his mommy.

That's probably what it was. Mommy rubbed his head, his belly and his back to make him feel better, too. :smile:

Buster was acting oddly last night. He was very nervous. Finally during the last few minutes of the movie Ott and I were watching he :barf: all over the floor. :ohwell: I guess Abbey felt left out because she did the same thing at 1:30 this morning in her crate. :dead:

Oh yeah, :yay: that you are not OTR. Thanks for that.

some dogs can sniff out illnesses like cancer and stuff. He could have also been responding to changes in the body like ovulation and such.

I read an article last week while waiting for my eye appointment. It said that certain dogs can also sense when someone is about to have an epileptic seizure. They can alert the victim at least 30 minutes in advance. Not all dogs have this gift though.

I doubt that's Chasey's problem though.

I saw something along that line on the discovery channel. You are right that not all dogs seem to have this "sense", but the dog that was spotlighted for this documentary was amazing! He was able to point out ailments off all types just by sniffing!

I just met my new neighbor, who has two boxers. They aren't at his house yet, because he's getting ready to deploy and also wants to build a fence first. But I'm comforted by the fact that he has the same size house we do, and two large dogs. I'm introducing him to Dustin tomorrow. :biggrin:

I don't know why you fear having a 2nd dog. IMO, if you can afford the additional vet cost than what's one more leash to hold, what's one more mound of dung to scoop...:shrug:

Your boy will be old enough to help with them before you know it. One thing you do have to concern yourself with tho... make sure you know upfront what you will do with TWO dogs should you go away for a weekend or more.

Oooh, good one. :lmao: Like I said, he's already given me the go-ahead for another, albeit smaller, dog. He was under the impression that I really like small dogs (why, I have no idea, since Cody is my dream dog, and he's not small :lol:). When I explained to him that I really like big dogs, he told me to do whatever I wanted, and he trusted that I'd make the "right choice". I don't know what that means. :jameo:

I think that's awesome! Might I recommend you let Cody assist in the selection process. When you think you have found the right one... let Cody meet him/her and you should know in no time if they have a good chemistry. I adopted a 2nd mini-schnauzer for the main purpose of keeping my 1st schnauzer company while we were at school/work. etc... it turns out schnauzer #2 is not a "dog" dog and doesn't know how to play and prefers to snuggle humans. :ohwell: We love her tremendously and are glad we got her, but it's disappointing that she doesn't play with our other dog.
