Yep, everything you all have said.

If I have a bad day, all I want is to snuggle my Mac.

sometimes I think that losing mac would be harder than if my boyfriend and I broke up (and i have had the boy longer than the dag:) )

I feed Mac much better healthier more expensive food than I feed me

My friends talk about their babies and I say "oh yeah we did that with Mac"...halloweed costumes, whatever

I have, with no shame gone out in the morning in my pink pyjamas and my bed hair for potty breaks.

Instead of pocket change I now find cookies and crumbs in there

I have too many times to count brought to work the poopies bags, don't worry, the empty ones!, that I forgot to take out of my coat pocket.

We have declined many dinner invitations during the week because, it didn't fit in Gazou's schedule and we didn't want him to have the night alone all by himself. We have resorted to meeting friends at night after he has gone to bed.

I always hated shopping, now I find myself searching for new pet stores that we can go visit on weekends.

I can relate to the endless search of "dog friendly" places not much luck so far.

I find it cute when Gazou growls because it's his play growl! Other (small) dog owners have looked at me like I was crazy.

I also stalk any boxers I can. I have made friends with a few so that Gazou can play with his own kind!! I know we look like maniacs making all kinds of gestures in the car and baby talking!

I have taken great offense to someone making a face when seeing a picture of my boy's mother... I told her to never show me a picture of her kids....:rolleyes:

I have had to change my clothes numerous times after going home for lunch and playing with Gazou in my work clothes...doesn't look too good going back to work full of muddy paw prints!!:)

When chatting in the office in the morning people talk about their kids etc... I always have a story to tell about where Gazou went potty yesterday, or what he ate for supper, which friend we meet on our walk.

Thats about all I can think of now!!

i think my username says it all...i truely am 100% certifiable when it comes to my babies.foolicon

i have done all those things mentioned. like binky i am not really a "kid" person...i am a teacher (go figure) but have none of my own, nor do i think i will ever want them...but boxer babies? can't seem to have enough. we just got lucy (8 month old flashy fawn) in april of this year...and i soon after wanted another...so we adopted casey (10 month old brindle) in october. i love my babies so much that like many of you...my social life is completley altered...

my boyfriend and myself went away with another couple for a weekend (and even though they don't have boxers...they talk about thier yellow lab just as much) and we had to make a pact...actually a "drinking game" about not talking about our babies... lets just say that weekend in the mountains...we went through ALOT of beer! beericon

my life really has changed...money wise (toys...great dog food...mixins...treats...i actually make my OWN homemade treats ...i really am crazy!) socially...have to be home after work...have to walk in the morning/afternoon...make plans AROUND them on the weekends....

but i wouldn't change it at all...they have brought me more smiles and giggles then i could ever imagine! and to think up until now i didn't think i was a "dog person" always had cats...love them too...but boxers rule! i AM truely...BOXERBONKERS!fiestaicon

I agree with everything I have read. The only thing I have to add is that most of our boxers eat better than us. I have some friends that think we are nuts when we feed our boys roast and carrots for dinner and me and my husband have a corndog.:D

*lacy*

All of those things are my husband and I definitely. We re-arrange our schedules for our babies. We decline dinner invitations on the weekdays because we've already been gone all day. And it kills us to leave them all day!!!

Here's something not mentioned. How many of you have heard, "You guys need to have kids!!" We just say we already have two kids! They just roll their eyes.

And I bet that a good percentage of us is sporting a Boxer related bruise or two!

Oh and we all have an ability to laugh at our pups indiscretions, when mere mortal dog owners would freak out!!

A few more....

Ditto on the bruises I have one right bellow the knee from last night!

I now understand why people say they have, for example, a special coat to walk the dogs (relates to my muddy paw prints on work clothes). I now have, a whole wardrobe for the dog: coat, pants, shirt, shoes etc...and I can't wear anything without pockets, Where would I put the cookies!

Gazou isn't allowed on furniture, guess where I spend my evenings, yes on the floor next to his bed so he can cuddle with me.

Converting part of your vehicule or of course buying a vehicule especially to accomodate your boxer. My car's back seat is Gazou's property, it's been covered with strong plastic (in case of puppy accidents) and blankets, there is also about 10 toys although 5min after we get in the car he starts snoozing.

Ditto also on feeding better food!! I never did that much research about MY health!

I put down expensive area rugs before he came home, (even if chances were they were going to been ruined with potty accidents) so that when he had the urge he could do a better boxer burn and not slip on the floating floor.

Lovingly cutting and then feeding raw chicken hearts in pieces because he makes such a sweet face and it makes him forget you are grinding his nails, when before you never imagined even touching that!

Buying the most expensive toys even though you know it will take him 5 minutes to destroy but you can't resist the urge to see that twinkle in his eyes and make him happy!

Laughing when, in an important meeting at work you discover mud on your shoes and eye boogers on your pants !(before I set up my dog wardrobe:D)

Not minding getting boogers snorted at you from an exited boxer who's breathing hard and shooting boogers everywhere including your face!

i think one of our (my husband and I) funniest traits are simply refering to the dogs as "our girls" even when we are talking to strangers. i recently got back in touch with a friend from high school and i was telling her about our girls and she assumed i went and had twin girls and did not tell anyone. she called her parents - her parents called mine - it was a hilarious mess to fix :) but like most if not all of you, my dogs are my kids :)
