YOU KNOW YOU'RE A BOXER PERSON WHEN.... "

You have a kiddie wading pool in the yard, but no small children.

You have baby gates permanently installed at strategic places around the house, but no babies.

The trash basket is more or less permanently installed in the kitchen sink, to keep the dog out of it while you're at work.

You can't see out the passenger side of the windshield because there are nose-prints all over the inside.

Poop has become a source of conversation for you and your significant other.

You refer to yourselves as Mama and Daddy.

Your boxer sleeps with you.

You have 32 different names for your boxer. Most make no sense, but he understands.

You like people who like your boxer. You despise people who don't.

You carry dog biscuits in your purse or pocket at all times.

You talk about your boxer the way other people talk about their kid.

You sign and send birthday/anniversary/Christmas cards from your boxer.

You put an extra blanket on the bed so your boxer can be comfortable.

You'd rather stay home on Saturday night and cuddle your boxer than go to the movies with your sweetie.

You go to the pet supply store every Saturday because it's one of the very few places that lets you bring your dog inside, and your boxer loves to go with you.

You open your purse, and that big bunch of baggies you use for pick-ups pops out.

You get an extra-long hose on your shower-massage just so you can use it to wash your boxer in the tub, without making the dog sit hip-deep in water.

You don't think it's the least bit strange to stand in the back yard chirping "Baby, pee!" over and over again, while your baby tends to play and forget what he's out there for (but what your neighbors think of your behavior is yet another story).

You and the dog come down with something like flu on the same day. Your boxer sees the vet while you settle for an over-the-counter remedy from the drugstore.

Your boxer is getting old and arthritic, so you go buy lumber and build his or her a small staircase so she can climb onto the bed by their self.

Your license plate or license plate frame mentions your boxer.

You match your furniture/carpet/clothes to your boxer.

You have your boxer's picture on your office desk (but no one else's).

You lecture people on responsible dog ownership every chance you get.

You hang around the dog section of your local bookstore.

You skip breakfast so you can walk your boxer in the morning before work.

You are the only idiot walking in the pouring rain because your boxer needs his or her walk.

You don't go to happy hours with co-workers any more because you need to go home and see your boxer.

Your parents refer to your pet as their grandkid.

Your friend's boxer acts as Best Dog at your wedding.

Your weekend activities are planned around taking your boxer for a hike (both days).

You keep an extra water dish in your second-floor bedroom, in case your boxer gets thirsty at night (after all, his or her other dish is way down on the first floor...).

Your freezer contains more dog bones than anything else.

You never completely finish a piece of steak or chicken (so your boxer gets a taste, too).

You shovel a zigzag path in the back yard snow so your boxer can reach all her favorite spots.

You avoid vacuuming the house as long as possible because your boxer is afraid of the vacuum cleaner.

You keep eating even after finding a dog hair in your pasta.

You make popcorn just to play catch with your boxer.

You carry pictures of your boxer in your wallet instead of pictures of your parents, siblings, significant other, or anyone else remotely human.

And the number one reason you know you're a boxer person: Your dog is the star of your World Wide Web site!

HOW FUNNY and how TRUE! :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

Reminds me....my husband is 30, I'm 29 and we've been married for 4 years. We are financially stable (for the most part) and own our own home. We want kids eventually, just not right now. So of COURSE everyone is always asking "When are YOU going to have kids??" It gets so annoying! :rolleyes:

So, finally, the last time someone said "You have kids right?" I said "Why, yes I have one." She said "Ohhh! A boy or girl?", I said "Boy", she said "How old?", I said "Seven months!", she said "do you have a picture?". I said "SURE DO" and pulled them out!

She stared at them a second, then with a nervous giggle, said, "Oh....its a.....dog." I grinned ear-to-ear! That's what I'm going to do from NOW ON when someone asks me that! HA! :p

I too get asked this ALL THE TIME!!! At this point I think I'm much more content with my boxer baby. Skin babies are too much work!;)

How True!

Most, but not all, fit us. We don't have snow, so no need to shovel the zigzag pattern! When I brought my Mickey and my 2 y/o granddaughter to my office for a visit, the biggest fuss was made over Mickey! My daughter-in-law was NOT amused!:rolleyes: O, well. The granddaugher didn't have slurpy puppy kisses for everyone! :D

We have no more skin kids at home, who else better to get the best of everything? :)
 
I'm Guilty Guilty Guilty of ALL of those. I didnt even know it....and it's kinda freaky when I read that. I DONT have pictures of ANYONE else but my dogs on my desk at work. My couches are brown....and old so the dogs can get on them....I have a kiddi pool and no kids....oh dear....what next! HEHE I LOVE IT!!!!

That list fits me to a tee! One exception... my Granny refers to Rebel as her.....great-grand-dog. Also, I DO lecture EVERYONE about responsible pet ownership :) And, I have someone comment on the sorry state of my windows all the time. I clean them every other week, but to no avail.

On the other note....when I moved back to Arizona I moved into a lovely little neighborhood that is less than 2 years old. Demographically it is made up of young couples with kids. My entire block is this way. So, when the neighbors came to introduce themselves, it was "So, it is just you?"

After the 5th person asking me this, I began telling them that I had 2 boys. Well, needless to say, most of the neighbors don't bother with me since they have seen me walking the 2 "boys" :D

Now I need to vent (just a little one), and it is relative to the topic of responsible ownership.
Our weather has been quite nice lately, cooling off to the mid 60's at night. So, Sunday morning I had the front door open with my security screen door closed and locked. It was letting in a wonderful light breeze. Anyway, as we were relaxing on the sofa with the Sunday paper, 2 Boston Terriers came up to my door and put their paws on the screen and barked at us!!! Well, Blue about broke through the door to get to them. I think they belong a few houses down the street. So I got up and shut the door.

Here is my concern....what if Blue had gotten through the screen? I do not think he wanted to play with those dogs. As those dogs were not leashed, I would hate to have something happen to their dogs because of their negligence. My dogs were in my house, not wandering the streets. Boy, that sort of thing chaps my hide! Those poor little dogs could have had anything happen to them. We have traffic, dogs at every house, etc. How do those owners know that no one elses dogs are going to be out? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr smashicon

How true. Most of those apply here. Nobody can understand why I am having my boxers dress up for Halloween. I just tell them it wouldn't be fair for only one of my kids to be able to dress up for our party.:D
