We All Know That Grateful Feeling....

...when someone actually KNOWS you have a boxer. I met a fellow boxer-owner this morning at the park by my moms house. I immediately noticed the white boxer boy...then the handsome SINGLE owner walking him! I asked him about his boxer and he was sooooo grateful that I actually knew he was a boxer because, as we pretty well all have experienced, people are constantly mistaking them for pits. I understood his excitement and gratefulness.
Sadly, the man ruined the whole meeting when he proceeded to tell me that he was looking to breed this beauty with a pit because he loves the look. He said that his boxer had pit in him. He bought him from a pet store and got a "deal" on him for $350 because he was a mixed breed...geesh.. He said he was happy to get the deal since white boxers are so..grrrrr..."rare"...aaackkk!
Soooo..so much for the attraction I immediately felt...the man hurt my brain the second he opened his mouth!

I think that might be a common trait in men...they open their mouths and we immediately lose the attraction we felt...lol! I take it that it wouldn't have mattered if you'd tried to educate him? Sometimes, I listen to people and think that it would just be a waste of time and breath to tell them what they need to know!

Since when do men think with their brains?
