Yep. We have a 4 month old and I haven't had a boxer for about 10 years. Some of the stuff she does is driving me up the wall and I can't help but think about boxers past... I don't remember ____ doing that! Lol

Gangster jumps the babygate, runs downstairs, picks up his ball, runs back upstair and jumps back over the babygate. Gangster escapes the pen only to return!

Thank you so much for sharing your puppy stories. I really needed a laugh today. Our Roxy is very sick right now so I have been a little distracted. I'm off to the health forum.

Gangster is too cute! Had you not seen him jump back over, he could be a Houdini.

Best wishes for Roxy girl.

Just a quick update....first our baby girl Roxy is doing good leaving us time to bond with Champ aka Gangster. He first of all is such a good boy thanks to the local rescue. His personality has grown to straight up clown! He is laid back. Sort of scary. Our Doodle Bug aka Roxy is SOO type A. This guy.....well as I am typing this Gangster is laying beside me with his bum on the couch and head on the floor. Roxy would never be that way. ALL of her actions are on time. She sits; she sits. She lays ; she lays. This guy? Yea; if I feel like it. He is a little lazy but has warmed himself into our hearts. Yep ; I love my Gangster Doodle Bug loves him too.....a lot! Two is the way to go....love em!

Your posts bring back many memories. We adopted Mali at 11 months and I told a few people her name is short for malevolent. She taught Oscar to bark at anything going by the front window, got onto the garbage, chewed up some newly purchased clothes, and wrecked a couch.

While decorating for our first Christmas with her, I took out a bag of Christmas themed dog toys. I needed to run an errand, so I put the bag of toys in a bedroom and blocked the doorway with a baby gate. When I returned, the toys were all over the living room, the bag was still in the bedroom, and the baby gate was still in place. Oh, what I would pay to have video of Mali jumping back and forth over the baby gate to get all the toys into the living room!

@diverdiva.....sorry but I laughed out loud from the the visual. Gangster is teaching our well trained Roxy a few gangster tricks
