We should start a 101 things that you will end up replacing for the price of loving a Boxer. Don't get me wrong it's totally worth it. Things are just things and Boxer love is the best! But just for fun. I'll start: the phone line on the back of our house-twice! the paint in the hallway from scrubbing off dried black--slung up way high--- Boxer slobber, since we used flat white paint(dumb), one heating pad, one designer doggie bed, grass, and numerous plants.
