Is lovely color and design. And I am not just saying that cause you pay me so much I think this one is a winner Angus

This topic originally contained all the 600+ old posts imported from the first guestbook like commenting system used here.

This topic was split into as many different, separate, topics as was possble. However because this thread contains many posts which reference several different conversations and several different people's posts in one piece of text. Not everything can be reasonably split even if it might have made a good stand alone topic.

So if in places the flow of this topic seems odd or that there may be missing posts that is why. There will still be plenty of nice, happy, sad and everything in between posts and conversations left in this topic.

In fact some of the most important posts. Especially about peoples loses and their new dogs (Mine too.) are in this thread/topic to this day.

Thanks Lyric I like it, it just needs some small bits of work done. The css needs the exess trimmed and sorted to make it validate as css2. Also metatags need added and one small change on all pages to makeit validate at xhtml 1.1 it's already 1.0 transitional. More importantly i need to get the scanner working and add more pictures of the dogs.

Doggies! :-) Angus, the redesign you've done here looks fantastic. However, if I might offer just a small bit of advice . . . more piccys! ;-)

Thanks Hallah! Yes i like this much better than the main site. :shrug Thanks and yes i shall attempt to get more pics

Very nice design angus, much better than the higgledy-piggledy mess of the page you used to have with mismatched image sizes and the like. Very very commendable. What is this comments thing I'm using anyway? Another script you found?

The design is great...but I'm afraid it was the content that took me. I crept in to see the pupsters... The photos and the narrative are great... It's terrible of you to make me all teary at work!!! I feel like I know a couple of your pups... I think it is a wonderful tribute to friends who enriched your life and who loved you and you loved so very much.

Thanks for the compliments Ahd and Silwe, yes the dogs are the point Silwe . --------- Ahd it's called phpnews [http://newsphp.sourceforge.net] as far as i know it's the only news/blog thingy that's simple and xhtml. Though not 1.1. It is simple though not all the features of many similar scripts. I'm considering using it on the main site.

Looks good Paul ...um I don't understand all the computery terms, but the layout is very aesthetically pleasing and the doggies are beautiful!

Cheers Dawnie , thanks very much

Paul - thanks for linking us!!

You're welcome Vasha you do a good job!

It is all about the Boxers.. Here is the info on the site. This is BoxerX.com a Portal for Boxer enthusiasts world Wide. Boxer info, Boxer Stuff. We have discussion Topics from Boxer Fun to Boxer Health.

Hi BoxerX I'll add you tothe links page later when i get home. Thanks for dropping by!

Great site, if a little hard to read. Great pictures, it looks like youv'e had some lovely dogs. I've got a white boxer called Dave, He's the first boxer I've had and I just love him to bits. He looks a bit like Lilly but he's got pierot eyes. Keep up the good work

Thanks for the compliments Blue, it's apreciated. In case you come back, is it the text colour or size that makes things hard to read? ---- Also give Dave a hug. You'll not regret getting a boxer Blue.

We lost our 8 month old Boxer "Bruno a few days ago to an accident" It was like losing a child. He was so full of love and so patient and absolutely adorable. Boxer's are the way to go if you need a family dog.

That's awfull Seema Ahira. I'm really sorry it happened, i know it's heart breaking. You are right though Boxers make excellant family pets.

Hi Paul, I went through all your dogs photos, they are great, my preference goes to Poppy, Jason and Lily...Poppy has exceptional colors. Now I understand why you told me you don't go for cats...but my Tobby fiercely sits on your Illusion theme which I love and I take the opportunity here to thank you ever so much for your generosity in giving me this logo. Big hug to Jason and a bigger one to you. Best regards, Lise (cocotte)

This is a great site, what program do you use?? And I love the colour!!

Hi Lise! Thanks for the comments and of course you're welcome. -------- Dan, thank you! It does have problems, layout in IE on mac's, perhaps IE5.0 also and the colours render awfully under 32bit. Just not got the time to fix it. I use photoshop and or fireworks for graphics and topstyle aids with the codeing.

I just got a Boxer that looks just like Lily. Can I ask what she died of? Mine is a female too..Her name is Maggie

Hi Mike! I'm afraid i just don't know, she took ill (off her food, not running around) and at first i thought nothing of it. Then she spent a whole night not really sleeping and breathing difficulty. The vet thought she may have eaten something and gave her a shot to calm her. She was to be brought back if it got wasn't any better in 24hours. In less than that it was obvious she wasn't.... She went back to the vets who was going to give her some xrays and if necisary operate. Before hecould she collapsed, when he performed an emergency operation she died of heart failure. Without an autopsy we couldn't be sure. Perhaps perotonisis. With hindsight ishould have saw that it was serious long before i did. -------no paragraph fuction---- But don;t let that worry you at all, usualy you would know why your dog is ill and such occurances i'm sure are rare. Just look after Maggie as best you can and she'll likely live to be an old doggie And should bad luck strike, in my case i would do it all again to have at least those 3-4 years i did have with Lily. You've a lot of fun ahead

Good God, I love boxers too. Grew up with one, used to crawl into his doghouse and we'd just sit side by side and look at the world through his door. I now have another beautiful boxer who never leaves my side if she can help it.

does boxer dogs have black pups???

Not so far as i'm aware amber, though i'veseen some very dark brindle pups. -------- Karin that's the kind of thingi love to hear. This page is getting a lot longer than i ever thought it would. I'll need to make a better arangement.
