Tawny Millar's Life: Zoe and Zander

Our Family

So we have the cutest dogs ever. Zoe is 4 yrs old she will be 5 in September. Zander is 5months old. Zoe is a full breed Boxer and Zander is a Bulloxer which is a mix of boxer and American bulldog. Our dogs are just apart of the family. The kids can not get enough of them especially Lola. She loves Dogs. We have had some problems with a neighbor and Zoe. Our neighbor seems so think that Zoe can eat him through a 6ft fence so to eliminate problems we set up a dog run. It really bothers me that our dogs have to spend more time in the 10x10 dog run then our huge backyard. Tonight we went to bring them in they were so dirty from being out in the dog run so we had to give them a shower before they could get up in our bed. Zoe Loves the shower she will get in with you even when you don't wont her too. She is so good about the whole process. She even Loves to get her hair done with the blow dryer LOL

She is a really good dog. She listens well and we are really happy about her. I have always loved the Boxer breed but it took some convincing to get Alex to get a boxer. After having Zoe Alex has fallen in love with our Boxer Dogs. They have so much personality. Zoe is so protective of the kids and I that Alex can not even play fight with the kids with out her going crazy. She will get right in between Alex and the kids. She is so loving but if someone ever came in this house and threatened us she would eat them for sure. I really love this dog.

We got Zander on Christmas day. He was not planned it was a spur of the moment idea and yes from me. We had been looking at American Bulldogs and had run across some pictures of Bulloxer and we loved the look. They have the boxer look but thicker and we also heard that they aren't as energetic as a full breed Boxer. We loved the idea of this breed but weren't in a rush to get one. On Christmas eve I was looking at KSL and showing the pictures to Alex and Rose of these cute puppies by the next morning I had convinced Alex that we should get him for the kids. (both of our dogs have been Christmas presents for our kids) Alex wasn't 100% on board at first but Zander has the sweetest personality and won Alex over quick. He is not spazzy and loves to cuddle. He is such a chill dog. He has really been my favorite puppy ever. He just isn't as energetic as most puppies. He has gotten so big. We can't get over his fat head. We call him fat head. LOL He weighs 50lbs and Zoe weighs 65lbs. Zander's feet are twice as big as Zoe. It looks like Zander is going to be much bigger than Zoe. We all love his thick look. Zander is such a chill dog that giving him a shower is no big deal. i don't think he loves it like Zoe does but he will just deal with it without a fight. He does not like the blow dryer! He is seriously a sissy. He gets scared of everything. He won't even jump off our bed. While Zoe was in the shower Zander cried at the edge of our bed cause he wanted to get down but was to afraid LOL.
