I have only had my boxer puppy since Novemeber, she is now 4 months old. She is a character, she loves to use her paws like a human, lay on her back, chase her tail and she just loves to be around us. She is a great addition to our family!!

Hi Everyone,
Have been super busy and haven't had a chance to write, missed you all.
My little Solomon is a flashy brindle male 1 1/2 yr old. His nickname is vertical leap dog. I'm not lying he can vertical leap 4 foot. It is a scream. He started it on his own and we turned it into a command instead of trying to break him of it. We tell him leap Solly leap and away he goes. I have never seen a dog so full of joy. I think boxers have a language of snorting and blowing that has meaning to each other. I never really noticed it when we just had one but I do now that we have 3. Anyone have a comment on this trait. My other boxer Stoney is the master of sighing.

miss daisy is the biggest dork ever. she doesn't have most of the really bad boxer traits (like bad gas), but she is a guilt tripper par extraordinaire! she also likes to sigh when bored or annoyed. and she has a horrible habit (very cute) of sneaking onto any padded surface rather than use the hardwood floors in out house. we've caught her sneaking into our bed (very slowly, freezing when she thinks you've seen her) and sitting on our bigger dog when she can't find any cloth to pull down to sleep on. and when she gets up and wants to go out and you won't get out of bed to do it, she paws at your arms until you let her out. one last thing: freaks out and seems to hallucinate every once in a while, usually over reflected light or sudden noises.

MB's story about eye gobbers and slobber, how true, You really dont notice it until you get down to doggy level,

and there it lurks, When my sister comes to stay, rather posh, pleated skirts and twin set, Ginty insists on either rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, on her pale pleated skirts, or cleaning her mouth on her skirt after eating, her dinner,

but the worst is lying at her feet, gassing her, We just love

her to bits, eye gobbers , slobber, pongy smells , dragging her food across the carpet, everything about is appealing to us but appalling to my sister.
bye Pammyjean and Ginty

2/2/01 ginty will be seven

Another few in addition to the above: taking something he knows he's not supposed to have and passing back and forth in the room we are in until we notice him, get up, and chase him to get whatever he's not supposed to have. And the other one, when we pet him, he turns his butt to us to have his butt rubbed. He loves it.

Oh, I just thought of another funny thing Trevor does! When he's sleeping or relaxing, and I pet him, his front paws stretch out and relax! It's adoreable!

Makenzie is the love of my life! She does a lot of the same traits as your boxers do. She is so excited to see me when I get home from work and I have to actually walk outside with her for her to go to the bathroom because she is so hyper. She curls into a U shape and her little butt is a shakin away. Her nub is going a million miles an hour. She has to be by my side at all times. She will howl if I don't let her in a room with me. Even the bathroom. So, she basically does go everywhere with me in the house. She is the most loveable and sweet dog. Our personalities clicked so well. I let her on the couch when the hubby is not home. Shh...don't tell. She will lay behind me on the couch and put her paw around me. Is that too cute or what?!? She is excellent with kids but watch out if they are running around because Makenzie thinks they are playing and will nibble on their ankles in good fun. Makenzie loves to be around any other dog especially boxers. We had a boxer who lived behind us and recently moved and Makenzie gets up on this bench that is built into the deck and puts her paws up on the railing and looks over the fence at the houses around us and will do her howl and barks and misses Copper so. I am so lucky to have her in my life.

I can totally relate to Kimerlys post. My girls have to follow me everywhere too. I'll usually trip over them if I'm going from room to room , as I'm on my way back in they are leaving to see where I went.
I'm a Nanny ,and If I have the kids around I always have to tell them not to run, Maggie will always nip at their feet and ankles which causes them to fall down!

Our 6 month old Boxer Dell does all the same things as Cooper but there is one distinct thing that she does and that is sit on top of the couch and look out over the porch of our apartment and whine until we take her and her brother outside. It just seems that Boxers love to be outside. And Ruffuss our 3 month old Boxer loves to chase after brooms, Vacume cleaners, mops...anything like that will drive him crazy. He will bark and chase and box them until you get him with them.

Oh, where to begin? Titus does the "woo-woo" song and something I have never seen another boxer do-he gets up on his hind legs and hugs you around your waist with his front legs. Since I am short, he looks right into my eyes! He also kidney beans, has to "connect" with at least one paw touching me while we are on the couch. He also gets bad gas attacks! Titus gets resentful if I leave the house for a few minutes without him, so I'm usually greeted with a great, big pile in front of the front door! He sleeps on the bed and has to be pushed up against me so I can't move. I just love my precious dog, he's my best friend!
