I am totally pissed off. Across the field behind my house there lives a cute little boxer named Roxanne. Roxanne is a beautiful fawn boxer, petite in size and perfect markings- she lives with a big family a divirced dad and five boys- none of which will take resposibility for her. Becasue roxanne isnt fixed she goes into heat regularly. Anyways- for the past three months Roxanne's fence has had HUGE GIANT holes in it- in fact whole sections of fence knocked to the ground. Well, i have an australian shepard who is not fixed- because he will be eligible for studding in the next six months- and he is a perfect cattle dog- anyways- needless to say- these two have found each other- now i have had to put my dog on a lead in his own backyard becasue she comes to my fence and drives him crazy till he will actually jump the fence (simple you say...put the dog in the house- Ahhh- but then he tears my house apart trying to get outside with her) So since charlie cant get out- she has been getting in ( literally digging under my fence and comming in my backyard to mate with him)
Anyways- i did some research on boxers and what to do when they are pregnant- (which she OBVIOUSLY is- they have gotten stuck together about 25+ times and now here nipps are all huge and pink) So as it turns out they need a higher fat diet- due to their insanly fast metabolism and most need a muscle relaxer so they dont go into early labor- almost definelty killing the pups and possibly the mother too. So in the nicest way possible i tried to explain this to the owner- and tell him i would be more than willing to help birth the pups- and take care of them and the mother while he is at work. He told me point blank- i am taking this fucking dog to the pound!!! I begged him not to, stating that they will probably be adorable puppies- and he could possibly make some money off them- how the shots are only five dollars at the feed store- and that i was willing to do the work. I am truely heart broken- if i had the finances or the space i would be happy to take her- but i dont- i truely just dont have the money. The only positive side to this is that atleast at the animal welfare or humane society i know roxs will get the porper nutrition and the pups will be given great medical care- and they will all probably get adopted- and probably have the greatest chance for adoption. well i am done venting for now.
