Boxer Survey

[Peggy G]

Does your Boxer:

1) …think that all visitors, including repairmen, have come over for the sole purpose of seeing him/her?
2) …bring you nasty, slimy, 1/2 eaten raw hide bones & expect you to hold it for him/her to chew because she/he is tired of holding it herself/himself?
3) …roll in the dirt, grass or carpet after a nice bath in an effort to stick again?
4) …think if he/she slowly & gradually (one paw at a time) works her/his way up on the sofa that you won't notice?
5) …think that just because you went in the kitchen that it means that he/she is suppose to get a treat?
6) …know darn well when he/she is not suppose to have something and drops it and runs when he/she sees you coming…even before you have said a word to him/her?
7) Is your Boxer extremely nosey and feels he/she has the right to see what's in bags, boxes and on counters?

Have I left anything out?

If anything is in one large piece --it must be made into tiny little pieces.

1. Definitely

2. Occasionally she likes me to hold her chew toy for her. Is that lazy or what?

4. Why sneak? She's taken over the entire couch anyway!

5. You mean like lick the dishes in the dishwasher? Who cares if they are already clean. :D

6. Ali prefers to hide behind my recliner with "off-limit" items she finds. I think she learned it from my son. It's his favorite hiding place also.

7. Absolutely! When I unload bags from the grocery I have Ali and my two skin kids snooping thru the bags before I can empty them. What, no treats Mom?

I didn't know you knew Rainy and Romeo!!

Rainy more so than Romeo, but she's teaching him.....

Yes to all of the above for Casper, for Sumi yes to 2-6. Casper all has a trait of knocking things over. I read my mail on the couch then leave it resting on a narrow table, he goes over, sniffs it then pushes it off the edge and watches it fall then walks away, mission accomplished.

mama to:
-Sumi, lab mix "pound puppy"
-Casper, white boxer rescued from the Dade County Animal shelter
