One is all you need to realize one is not enough.
One introduces you to all of the possibilities.
One is the beginning, a new life and a new set of eyes.
To see things differently, from the eyes of a Boxer.
The grass more than just green, more than a picnic spot.
No! grass is now a salad, a restroom, a cloud to bounce upon,
a place to rest, somewhere outside under the sun.
The water more than just liquid, more than a thirst quencher.
No! now water is somewhere to dunk your head and spray it about, a break from the sun, a new refreshing start.
The window is more than just an opening to look outside, to see what the weather is like.
No! through your new eyes that window is a view.
A view to intruders, friends, the mailman, to you coming home
a look outside when you can't be there but still need to feel a part of it, because you need to know everything that goes on in and outside of your home, you need to bark and let yourself be known.
The opening of the door is more than just someone opening it.
The door opening means someone is home, time to play, time to smile, time to love and cuddle, caress and wiggle about.
It means look at me, I'm here I've been waiting faithfully thinking of you, thinking of this moment.
I sit here at home waiting all day just for you.

I am not blind I see what you need.
My boxer needs a boxer, a companion of his own.
Or is it just me, is it the possibilities, a new beginning,
the excitement.
It's because I know.
Because you taught me.
That one is all you need to realize that one is not enough.......
