11/3/07 - We just wanted to update everyone on Zeus! We love him so much and could never be happier! He is a bed hog and loves to cuddle and give boxer kissses :o)

6/3/07 - We wanted to send some new pics of Zeus and a new update. We just recently took him and the girls to the vet for a check up and big Zeusy boy weighed in at a healthy 77 lbs!  He has gained 15 pounds since he has been with us. He is such a momma's boy and what a big mush! Not to mention he is one heck of a ladies man. Our girls just adore him (as you can see in the couch pics). The only minor problem we have is this boy is a bed hog!! He has us considering getting a new California King size bed!  We really feel blessed to have had the opportunity to foster to adopt, then to adopt this wonderful boy.  Thank you again to everyone that was involved in this process. Zeus has definitely found his forever home. He will be with us always.

4/07 - Zeus has been adopted

3/3/07 - Zeus is pending adoption

We are so happy to announce that we will be adopting Zeus. He is such a perfect boy. We took Zeus to the vet yesterday and he is very healthy and gave everyone lots of kisses. When we first saw Zeus something told us he would be the perfect fit. He has had so much fun playing with his new sisters. Today we took them all to Petco where they were having a spring fashion show (we didn't participate) just watched. Zeus gets compliments everywhere we go. We met another couple with a male boxer, they couldn't believe he was from a rescue. They may be calling for a female! : ) Afterward we went to the ball field and they all ran around and had lots of fun.
Thank you again to everyone involved with Zeus. We truly appreciate your hard work and dedication. After only 2 weeks we couldn't imagine our life without Zeusy boy!

2/22/07 - Zeus has been PERFECT. He is such a great dog. He gets along so well with Brittney (I think she has a crush) and he is such a momma's boy already. She is probably also thankful that Roxy isn't dominating her like she was. We have seen a big change in Brit since Zeus has come along.
I have seen no separation anxiety in him at all. We crate all 3 when we go out. So far he has been perfect. No going to the bathroom, no chewing, scratching, nothing. He only had one accident on the first day and that's it. He also does what we call the "helicopter" it is hilarious. Outside in the yard Roxy and Brittney will be around him trying to play and he will be in the middle and just spin completely around like 5 times in a row. Its so funny. He has also started to defend the house. Barking at noises and people he sees outside. I can't see anyway we won't adopt him.

2/19/07 - Yesterday we met Zeus for the first time. We picked him up to take him to his new FTA home. We were surprised at how well he took to us. He greeted us with cautious kisses. He really is a big mush. He loves to be next to you and wants nothing more then to know he’s his loved. His first meeting with our girls Roxy and Brittney (both 2 and a half as well) went great for the first time. We brought Zeus into our TV room and put up a baby gate, letting the girls sniff and smell. After a little while we decided to take them all on a walk. Zeus is very comfortable with his leash. He walked great with our girls. No major issues or problems.
We tried to limit their playing as best we good in the house. Roxy and Brittney were a little annoying as they wanted to constantly play. Roxy and Zeus got into a few growling matches but it seemed harmless. It is still very early and we need to take it slow. It was nothing more then two boxers trying to play. Each trying to set boundaries. We immediately stopped it and let them know that type of behavior is not tolerated. When they were being nice together we constantly praised all three.
Zeus had one accident in the house so far. If anything, it was our fault, for not taking him out in time. Since then he has gone outside every time. We are starting to train him on our commands "go outside" "go pee pee's"  He seems to be a smart boy and definitely knows he needs to go do his business outside.
The goal now is to get him used to our living schedule. He really is a sweet boy and we have every intention of adopting him to our forever home. A few rough spots on the first day but overall it was great. More to come..
