Duchess

My Nana is here visiting all the way from Ireland and I am getting SPOILED, SPOILED, SPOILED!!

About Me


My name is Duchess, I am a seven year old Fawn Boxer and my favorite thing to do is go play at the dog park. THAT'S ME AT THE PARK; I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY GOTTA FIGHT OVER ME, I CAN BE FRIENDS TO BOTH OF THEM!
I am a real girlie type dog and easily do the boxer C with excitement to get your attention. I am also a lick a holic but I think my Mom is a kiss a holic so it works out okay.
I love to go for car rides with my Mommy I don't care where we are going just so long as I get to go too.
I love to attack water that is coming out of the hose or the sprinklers; I mean how can you help but bite it right?

I got the name Duchess because when I first got home at 12 weeks I guess I just took over the house, the couch and the bed, just like royalty would.
I'm not an inside or an outside dog, I am a come and go as I please dog and the best present I ever got was my very own doggie door, I LOVE IT!! ~ Thanks Brian

My Interests



These are a couple of my Buddies, Rocco the Pug and Rambo the Boston Terrier
They come down and we hang out at the park.
THERE IS A PROBLEM THOUGH As you can see their Mom sometimes dresses them funny!
I mean come on, they need to fight the fashion industry and tell their Mom that they are BOYS! Hopefully they won't wear these outfits to the park, I would be so embarrased.

This is Buster & Mac, they stay at my house when their parents go out of town and we have loads of fun together, Mac is still a big ole puppy who just says "PLAY PLAY PLAY' all the time, Buster is more mello, if he was a little bigger I think he could be my boyfriend, but alas we just weren't meant to be together like that.
This is another one of my friends, his name is Chubby, he's still a puppy but he's got it bad for me, WHO CAN BLAME HIM?

I'd like to meet:

More boxers or pugs or anyone who really loves dogs. Hooch from 'Turner & Hooch' what a hunk of fur!

I'm interesting in meeting any dogs out there that might have Addisons Disease so my Mom can share the information that she has learned. I had leg surgery May 2006; I felt just horrible afterwards & even though my Mom kept telling the vet there was something wrong they kept telling her she was freaking out over nothing but I kept sending her messages & when my kidneys began to fail they finally believed her and found out I have Addisons, it really sucked because I almost died; but the new vet saved my life. Anyway basically I don't make my own hormones anymore; I have to get a shot and lab work once a month & a little bit of prednisone depending on my mood every day, but now that they have it figured out I feel terrific and I am back to my old self. Plus Mommy usually wraps the pill in something yummy!
