September 2, 2010  - Sweet Sandra is still here waiting for a family of her own.  She is happy here but she deserves her own family.  Sandra spends her days where I am.  Whether at home or work she never lets me get too far out of sight without coming to see where I've gone.  She is a wonderful companion. Sandra is looking to share her days with someone willing to see past her age- it's just a number.  Someone willing to open their heart to a senior Boxer- she has boundless love.  Someone that can appreciate her spurts of passionate excitment- who can resist a girl that loves to eat and go for car rides ;-)  Please do not pass by this gal- you will not find a more loyal and easy to care for friend.
 

July 10, 2010 - Sandra is a sweet girl.  She has been having some very busy days. She goes to work with me 4 days a week.  About 10 minutes before it's time to leave for work she starts bouncing around and barking at me..because I am always running late, and she believes it is very helpful to get "in my face" and remind me of the time.  Then it's off to drop the children at daycare and to the office.  She is very good girl in the car.  He official job title is office greeter and no one comes in the door unless Sandra gets a pet and hopefully a cookie.  She does her job very well and greets everyone with happiness.  Three or four times a day she goes outside for "breaks".  And then without fail she reminds me when it's time to leave and go pick up the children.  She really gets animated if she thinks I am moving too slow.  She can bounce straight up in the air with all four feet like she is on springs!  After we pick up the kids it's time to go home and check on the rest of the troops.  If I happen to be busy doing something else at doggie dinner time Sandra and her trusty inner clock will remind me in a none too subtle way.  At night she sleeps quietly on the bedroom floor or a dog bed until about 2am when she needs a potty break.  After that potty time she spends the rest of the night cuddling on our bed.,She is only crated when she stays home without us.  And that is mostly to keep her from bossing the rest of the crew when no one is here to supervise.  Sandra is sweet, happy, silly, loving and a great snugglie cuddler....and she is still waiting for a family of her own.

5/12/10 - Sandra is doing great here with us. She is now spending her days and nights as a full member of family and pack.  She is in the crate when we are not home because although she never has potty accident while we are here she sometimes does when we are not.  She never has an accident in  her crate.  Some nights she is crated as well because she feels that a "people" bed is the best place to sleep.  Some of the people in our house don't like sharing or rather giving up their bed to her : )   Sandra is a sweet girl with lots of love and TONS of kisses to share with everyone she meets.

4/4/10 - Sandra is doing great here.  She has met all of the resident dogs and is doing just fine.  She has had no issues with any except our girl Jessie.  Jessie doesn't feel too good and tends to have a zero tolerance policy.  The rest of the crew know this and Sandra learned it the hard way.  But she now knows that if she gives Jess the "right of way" all will be good.  She continues to be great on and off leash. She always stays close by when outside as people are her favorite past time : ) ,,Last weekend we had over night guests and Sandra was their room mate.  She was polite and quiet. We did end up putting her in her crate for the night because she was rather insistent about sharing (or rather hogging :) the bed!,,Please consider this wonderful senior gal for your family.  You won't be sorry if you do.

We introduced Sandra to most of our crew yesterday.  She did great and got some very nice invitations to play form our big Boxer boy.  She mostly declined because he can be a bit rough, and Sandra is a very laid back kinda gal.  Our boy was so comfortable around her that within just a few minutes he had deceided to take a nap in the sunshine while she stood over him.  Ahhhh....it just keeps getting better and better with this GREAT gal!
