Cute posting . . I've enjoyed reading about everyone's "Boxer(s) Experiences".
I was raised with two boxer babies: Happy was my female and was 1/2 boxer - 1/2 great dane but she looked like a boxer. My parents have pictures of me riding her like a horse in the yard. After she died, we got Prince - a real beauty and my love for Boxers has been strong ever since.
As an adult, I bought my fiance (now husband of 15+ years) his first Boxer for his birthday - Ceasar. Shortly after, we married, combined a family of 4 boys and got Ceasar a buddy - Heidi. We were blessed with these two for 12 and 13 years and they are watching over us from the bridge - waiting to join the boys and us again some day.
Now, we are truly OWNED by Baron (age 3 - male brindle - 88 lbs of beauty) and Mercedes (age 2 1/2 - female reversed bringle - much smaller but very fiesty). They have the run of the house and yard, sleep on the foot of our bed, eat when they want, tell me when they want to walk or go to the park . . etc. . . You get the picture. They are truly a blessing each day and they make me laugh and cry when I think of the day they will also have to go. BUT in the meantime we do have a wonderful time together.
Boxers are NOT for every family. For those of us who have the time, energy and lots of love and understanding - THEY ARE THE VERY BEST !!! Take care of each other out there . . . .
