Apple the Starved Boxer

Apple has settled in very nicely to the Romeo house. Apple is a mama’s girl, stays very close to me but also loves my husband Pat and my daughter Michelle. It took 3 days to get her to go into the backyard, which makes sense given her history of being abandoned in the backyard. Lots of TLC and cookies can work wonders. She goes right into her crate when we go to work, no hassles. She loves to play with her toys and sit on your lap. She loves to be as close to us as possible. She was seen at the vet and weighed 55.3#; she only weighed 31# when she was rescued. The vet said she was in excellent health. We signed her up for 8 week course of obedience classes as she is big and strong and we want her to be well-behaved. She is very smart and loves to show off her tricks, she goes thru sit, shake, and lay down as 1 big trick. She has not had any accidents since the first day we got her. She did not bark at all for the first 5 days, barked a few times since then. If she has to go out during the night she wakes me up and out we go. She sleeps right next to the bed (my side). Thanks for allowing us to adopt Apple, she is a real sweetie!! J Barbara
