Boxer Pal
Profound wiggler-kidney beaner
Our Oscar (1.9 year old fawn) is such a protypical boxer. He...
1) wiggles (kidney beans) uncontrolably -- when he greats us or any one--i
2) he howls at all sirens
3) has to be in the center of everything -- that means the bed, the couch, or anywhere my wife and i are standing.
4) he chases his tail
5) destroys all his toys
6) talks back -- argues with us when we scold him. he will just keep making strange noises (we actually posted him talking back on YouTube if you want to see)
7) he jumps on us and all people
8) he generally loves dogs that are friendly to him. He especially loves little dogs or puppies and Oscar drops down on the floor to entice them over to play with him anytime he sees one on the street.
9) conversely, he barks like crazy nut if another dog barks at him. its the only aggressive thing he displays -- and only if the other dog starts.
10) he's always hungry. he stalks who ever is eating and drools huge puddles on the floor.
11) he will do anything for a treat.
12) he pulls on his leash
13) he is the biggest cuddler at night. loves to lay literally on top of us.
14) at 75lbs -- he still likes to be carried around. sometimes i give him a piggy back ride on my back and he loves it.
15) he likes to do spin around in 360 circles over and over again with his toys in his mouth.
16) he loves all water. loves to swim in pools. loves to sneak in the shower with me. starts by licking my leg when i'm in the shower and then tries to enter the shower.
17) if he happens to get wet (outside or in the house) he will tear around like the devil -- sprinting across the house at top speed, knocking over tables, jumping on the couch, circling -- its insane.
18) his favorite "fetish" is to lose his toys. its a kind of sado-masochistic game he plays. he will take one of his rubber toys and purposely lose it under a bed--where he can't reach it -- then he will cry and cry until we have to retrieve it for him.
19) did i say that he loves to destroy things? he believes that everything is fare game to destroy unless we tell him no. so, say we come home with a new purchase that came in a box. Oscar will set about destroying the box into tiny pieces, making a collossal mess of the place unless we say no.
i imagine that he would do the same to the house if we left him alone. (we keep him in his crate when we go out).
20) he loves to rest his head in my hands, on my leg, on my chest, where ever he can take a load off.
21) he loves cars -- loves to go for a drive.
22) he is terrible in dog parks -- the moment he sets foot in the dog park -- he begins sprinting everywhere, jumping on people, hoping over benches, chasing other dogs, basically going nuts! he tends to attract other bad dogs -- who bark at him and it devolves into fights (so we never go to dog parks!)
23) he loves to nibble on my feet when i have slippers on.
24) when my wife and i are out walking with Oscar, if one of us has to leave, say to enter a store, Oscar plants himself and refuses to move. He hates our pack to be seperated.
25) we live in a city where we encounter lots of men on the street. some are doormen, others are just men hanging out on the corner. Oscar loves them all and wiggles whenever he sees a strange, even suspicious person. not a good guard dog!
26) Oscar is perfectly house trained -- in his entire life he has maybe had 5 accidents and they all occured when he was under the age of 4 months. he would never think of going to the bathroom in the house. amazing!
27) Oscar loves to cuddle in the mornings and always lets us sleep (my other dogs used to wake me the first sign of daylight--not Oscar-- he holds his pee from 10pm to 9am with no problem--without even asking to go. We have to drag him out.
28) He uses his paws for everything. He especially paws us when he wants something.
29) he's a bit of chamelion. That is, his face changes its look at different times. Sometimes he looks like a gorilla.
30) We call him snaggle-tooth because his tooth gets caught in his flaps and it makes for a ridiculous look -- very funny.
31) he loves to lay in the sun.
32) he is very mischievious when it comes to messing up beds. he will hope onto a made bed and with his paws dig at the sheets until its a complete mess. when we catch him in the act, he sprints off the bed. totally guilty.
33) he used to pass noxious gas as a puppy, but that changed ashe became an adult.
34) he sighs all the time.
Oscar is the love of our life. A tremendous comittment of energy and attention. Sometimes a terrible pain, but mostly a dopey, clown who
makes us laugh just by looking at him. Boxers are more than a breed, they are like their own species.
