    How and Why did you decide on your boxers name?

    Baylee Growing up I had two boxers. They were both B names. So when I finally talked DH into getting a boxer for our family, I knew that she had to have a B name. I also have two daughters so we have lots of Princess stuff around here. So she became Princess Baylee. Shonna
