Do Boxers and Bostons have more vet bills than the average dog? I was hoping to maybe someday have one for a pal. Seems like boxers don't live so long either from friends experiences.
The solution for goldfish or koi is to have a pond in FL that a blue heron can raid. Darn bird killed all my goldfish, and a nice size koi. The koi he just killed because he couldn't even carry it off. If you want fish for pets raise Tilapia, some purina and a filter cleaning once a month and they're good to go.
