BEST TRAIT(S): He is so lovable. Loves everyone.
WORSE TRAIT(S): He is too trusting. He is not cautious of strangers or anyone. Just loves them.
WHAT MAKES HIM/HER WHINE?:When he wants to go out and I don't let him (not to pee, but to play. I do let him go out to pee as needed. :>) )
WEARS CLOTHES (i.e. sweaters, bandanas, booties)?:Yes, bandanas, collar scrunchies, coat/sweater, tried booties but not very successful. Seems as if he forgets how to walk with booties on his feet. He also wears costumes, Halloween and Christmas. Loves to dress up.

BRUSH YOUR BOXER'S TEETH?:No. I have never tried. He does have breath issues. Maybe I should try it.

BEST TRAIT(S): The best snuggle bunny in the world. When you want to take a nap, she is the one you want with you. Keeps you warm and protects you from harm. She is very protective of me and Oscar.
WORSE TRAIT(S): Serious licker. And she is cautious around strangers. Sometimes growls at people while walking.
WHAT MAKES HIM/HER WHINE?: She doen't whine.
WEARS CLOTHES (i.e. sweaters, bandanas, booties)?: Yes. Bandanas, collar scrunchies, coat/sweater, Halloween costumes, Christmas decor, you name it. Sometimes doesn't like it, but will cooperate to please me.
PREFERS MALES OR FEMALES (humans, that is): She seems to like females better, but does take immediately to some men.

INSURED?: No.
HEALTH PROBLEM(S)?: Had a temporary incontinence problem. It has resolved itself. Don't know why.
