Mine tested positive for heart worms and stayed at the vet for three days last week.

Poor baby! I'm glad he's doing better.

Yeah, he is all gray and white. And he still acts like a puppy. He's always been the funniest Boxer though. He has this thing about flowers and loves to go spend all day lying in my parents flower beds. He's terribly allergic and has to take Benadryl. That doesn't stop him though; the minute he gets outside he heads for the flowers. He's a sweetie.

Last year we had nest of ground hornets in the front yard. One would get in the house from time to time, and, being a Boxer, he just couldn't leave well enough alone.

One day a ground hornet was in the window, buzzing around trying to fly through the glass. He stuck his face against the window, and quickly put the hornet in his mouth, and spit it back out. He did it so fast, I know he had to have been stung before. He normally would not have spit out any critter.

He did this 8-10 times: hornet in mouth, hornet spit out, hornet in mouth, hornet spit out......

Finally, the hornet, who was walking around like he was drunk, had had enough. hornet in mouth......ROWRROROROR!
Django spit him out and shook his head, put his paws to his lips, then went outside, rubbing his right cheek against the ground for about 10 minutes. I know it was cruel, but I laughed myself silly while he walked with his right cheek rubbing the ground.

His swelled up, and I gave him a Benadryl, which fixed him right up.

What a doofus.
