Poor Ernie. My shih Tzu had an ulcer in his eye. Eye problems are no fun, not to mention painful!

That just looks so strange to see. How long will the button be in?

He looks like a broken teddy bear bless him, 10 - 14 days then it'll be removed and hopefully stitches can come out and eye is better :)

Poor baby, I bet his whole disposition was off with that experience! Boxers have such personalities!

Oh gosh! I'm assuming he had a soft mouth with it I hope?! When we had our boxer she could get anywhere she wanted, counters, tables, you name it! If we left a loaf of bread out on the counter while we were gone we would think we were crazy when we returned because it was literally no where to be found!! Not even the bag!!! ... Until she pooped it out the next day!! Then we decided to kennel train!! Lol... She became the absolute best dog ever. She traveled with us, flew everywhere, went anywhere and was an angel! Our kids learned how to walk with her, held on to her and she walked slowly for them! It was amazing! We definitely have a soft spot for boxers, once you have one like that you can never replace them. She was a tough one to lose for the whole family.

It's fun to see your cute boy! I swear they are people!
