YOUR BOXER'S NAME: Siren

NICKNAME(S): MissyLou, WiggleButt, Girlfriend, Dumbass, BeeBee

AGE: she'll be 1 in February

SEX: female

COLOR: flashy fawn

FOOD: anything and everything she can get her jowls on. lately her new fascination is poop. What do we feed her....Purina Beneful (no lectures please).

VITAMINS/HERBS: whatever vitamin is in wood.

HAD SINCE PUP OR A RESCUE?: pupper

ALLOWED ON FURNITURE?: no - but do you think she cares?

ALLOWED ON YOUR BED?: no - but again - do you think she cares? Everything is Siren's domain.

STILL PULLS?: I hope we're talking about when she's on a leash? She never was a puller - she's great at walking right by my side - when she's on a leash or not!

TYPE OF COLLAR USED?: We used to have a lightweight one with a plastic buckle from Walmart - but she kept breaking the plastic buckles. So as punishment I bought her a neon pink nylon one with a heavyweight metal buckle.

TYPE OF LEASH USED?: She's got a nylon one and the retractable kind.

OBEDIENCE CLASS GRADUATE?: Obedience class? Is that where they learn to be good doggies? Yeah....she'd be a flunkie....

BEST TRAIT(S): When she yips while sleeping (chasing kitties?), the kidney-beaning has to be one of my personal favorites, when she gets so excited about being outside that she leaps in the air, her protectiveness and loyalness to my other dog, her loving nature!

WORSE TRAIT(S): Where do I start? Dang. Um.......stinky butt gas, drooling, shedding, rough paw pads, thick skull, jumping the 6 foot wooden fence, chewing on anything wood.

WHAT MAKES HIM/HER WHINE?: My singing (I'm not that bad), when my husband asks "Who's out there?", accidentally locking herself in her gated kennel/sleeping area and not being able to get back out.

WEARS CLOTHES (i.e. sweaters, bandanas, booties)?: Heck no. She'd tear them off. Although, there is a t-shirt I want to give her that says "Does this shirt make me look fat?"

PREFERS MALES OR FEMALES (humans, that is): She's not picky - she's too friendly for that.

BRUSH YOUR BOXER'S TEETH?: She brushes it with some form of wood, daily.

INSURED?: Homeowners insurance against her maybe...

HEALTH PROBLEM(S)?: None so far - the vet thinks she's awesome!

SURGERIES?: Ear crop & spaying. Nothing else please!


Have a great day everyone! Thanks!!
