To make things super short, I bought my first house and signed 11/14/08, moved to SA 11/22/08, and Sam bought us a boxer puppy, Jake on 11/23/08. Below is the very first picture of Jake.
A few days later, we found out our baby Jake was deaf. Boy did he give us a run for our money. We both had no idea how time consuming it was to have a puppy, much less a deaf one who needs physical contact for redirection. Jake woke us up once every hour through the night to go potty for the first few weeks we had him then once every 1.5 hrs as he got older and the increments go by half hours from there until he was about 4 months. Jake hates being dirty and for some reason, had a hard time holding his business all night. He is fully potty trained now. :) Jake also is a picky eater...actually, that's a lie he just hates kibble because he knows he is not supposed to have it, so, we switched him to raw and LOVES his food. Here is Jake's first raw meal
Sam and I often feel horrible about leaving Jake home alone with no one to help him hear, listen, or key into his surrounding so on 08/20/09 we decide to get another boxer as a companion for Jake. Her name is Mia. Mia came to us infested with fleas and ticks and very skinny but we could not deny her as when she saw Jake, she nearly leaped out of my arms to be with and play with him. That is where their bond began and continues to grow every day. They LOVE each other! Here is Mia her first day with us
Here they are together
Needless to say, we put her on raw immediately. Here is her first raw meal
