I'm guessing he's some tabby mix. My wife took him in from the neighborhood when it got cold, then left for work. I work from home, so he thinks I saved him, now he won't leave me alone. [Reply]
There were a couple lonely nights during the trade deadline when I suggested Wade Davis could net us a legit power bat or a potential rotation piece. [Reply]
I'm pretty sure our cat Lily is a Maine Coon mix. She has the tufted ears, massive tail and paws for her size, loves to play in the water and trills and chirps more than any cat I've ever had. Her fur isn't as long as a regular Maine coon but it is incredibly soft.
I get up every morning to pee..this is what I come back to in my spot
That's a good looking Sheppard. Grew up with them until my last one was killed by a mule deer that jumped the fence and she found out she really wasn't 10' tall and bullet proof after all. I'd pay to see how that fight went down just for reference.Was about to get another until I ran into a pure brindle boxer that I fell in love with immediately. Both are extremely smart, strong willed dogs that need a leader or they'll take over. Sheppard's are smart in an Einstein sort of way while Boxers are more personality smart. If that makes any sense.

Thank you..she is my best friend and is incredibly smart..it took a long time for her to warm up to me but now we go about everywhere together..the guy who had her before me was very abusive to her
Sorry to hear about your dog..deer can be some mean assholes
Boxers are great dogs..they aren't for me tho..most I have seen or been around are just so hyper I don't really have the patience for it..as they get older I like them more cause they slow down..some
But yes they are both very smart and both have such amazing personalities that spread a wide range of characters [Reply]

I'm going to miss her terribly. She slept next to me for 18 years and was one of the great joys of my life. I'm glad she's no longer suffering, the last couple days were very tough. I had her cremated, so this spring I can lay her ashes to rest in our kitty garden in the back yard, and make it nice. Yesterday my boy cats Meesh and Neighbor Cat were cruising around the house looking for her. Meesh slept in Mama Cat's favorite overstuffed chair last night, which is where Mama Cat spent her last week. It was very sad. It's amazing how the pets in the house know what's going on.
didnt have my cat as long, but we had to put him down from bladder cancer. he was my first friend when i moved here to australia. the biggest mistake i made, was not allowing our other pets to see him one last time. it took our other cat almost three years to come out of her depression from loss. that is even with us having adopted three other cats over the same period.

I know where you're coming from in the 'warm up' aspect. Windsor (my boxer) was probably about 12 months old when I adopted her and it took a little warming up. Not much though, it was a pretty good fit of the get go.You are correct though, boxers can be rambunctious when not in the presence of the 'pack leader'. They don't quiet have the composure of sheppards without some guidance.As far as Windsor I vs the mule deer: judging by the aftermath I doubt he'll ever jump a fence with a dog on the inside ever again assuming it's still alive.
