I have two Boxers.  Maggie and Jasper, are both are nine years old. Maggie, who is a rescue, came to us over five years ago with major "trust" issues. We've worked so hard to gain her love and trust. Now, she seldom flinch's when we reach down to pet her.

Two weeks ago, she was diagnosed with a mast cell tumor, which I learned is very common in Boxers.  Thankfully, the tumor was removed and all the margins were clear. Jasper was very depressed while she was away. But, now we are all back to normal, and we are so grateful that our sweet Maggie Mae survived this.
