Bruiser

My Bruiser! I have always LOVED Boxers, and well, since my husband is a hunter, I took him to Sportsmans Warehouse to pick out a birthday present for him. In the parking lot were the cutest boxers being sold. I didn't say anything, we just looked at them and went inside. Before we left my husband said, "go pick out a boxer, and make sure you get a good deal!" I was stunned! With a little thought, I then quickly went out, talked the guy down a few hundred dollars and we brought home Bruiser.
I was drawn to this one, not knowing why, seeing as how there were 2 that looked similar. I quickly found out the next day. I got Bruiser out of his bed the next morning to find him not able to move his back legs, totally paralyzed! I panicked, called HP to come help, called the vet, which being sunday, was closed. Anyway, after nursing him all night and taking him to the vet the next morning we found out he had a bad reaction to his previous vaccinations. I called the Breeder and got some information on what had been given to him, through our conversation, I was under the impression, if this had happened under the breeders watch, little Bruiser would have been euthanized. I knew at that moment, he needed us as much as I wanted him. After 2 weeks of pills and lots of love, he now runs, jumps, and is all BOXER!
