Boxers and Chinese Cresteds!

Hello! I am new to this site and the boards and would like to introduce myself! My name is Sarah and I am a pre-op RNY hopeful. I own, errr, I mean, I am owned by some fantastic dogs! First there are my boxers- great loving brutes! I have 3 females and 1 male. I also just had a planned litter with my girl and a champion male. We have 9 newborn pups now! They just turned 4 days old today. I also have 3 chinese crested dogs! You know, the hairless ones! WEll- two of mine are a variety called a powderpuff- they are quite fuzzy and extremely adorable! Life is deffinately more tolerable with my animals! -Sarah

I am a dog lover also. I have 2 shih-tzus, 2 yorkies, 2 chihuahuas and a blue heeler. I live out in the country and have lots of room for them to play. My yorkie had 4 pups last monday and my shih-tzu had 4 pups four weeks ago. I love raising puppies and finding good homes for them.

I have a Powder Puff too! Her name is Zoey, she is 10 years old. She is absolutely gorgeous, although right now she has a bad poodle haircut, because I got sick of all the grooming. My vet calls her the GIANT chinese crested, because she's 1/3 bigger than the standard. She weighs 18 pounds, looks perfect at 16 pounds. Her parents are 10 and 12 pounds, but she's a whopper! (More of her to love. ) Her paternal grandfather was a multi time champ - Cherokee out of Chattanooga. Her father is a blue ribbon winner too, but her mother was "pet quality." It doesn't matter to me. We love her just the way she is. Zoey loves to sing, and dance on her hind legs. She used to squeak her toys a lot, but she has been going through the grief process, so she isn't squeaking now. About 5 weeks ago, we had to put to sleep her life partner, our dog Bonnie (a lab mix.) Zoey stopped eating and just cried she missed Bonnie so much. Two weeks ago we adopted another puppy (a sheltie husky mix.) He gets on her nerves, but she is adjusting. At least she eats now, because she doesn't want the puppy to get her food.
