i THOUGHT i knew what a boxer burn was...

After pooping burns!

Ok, I just had to tell y'all this. When I let Sam outside to do his business, he'll TT and then after the pooping part he immediately takes off and flies back to the door. It's as if he can't "do the burn" until he is "lighter!" ha ha ha ha ha!!!!

See, I am already learning things. With rottweilers, this behaviour is called "zoomies". I would hate to not use the proper terminology for my little Max.

Yes, I always called it the zoomies too. Its really funny when I visiting my parents and their rottie and my 2 boxer go tearing around the yard. The boxers are more agile than the rottie so they turn on a dime and fly the other way while the rottie wipes out.

No matter how long/far I walk my 2 they still have the energy to do a burn on the golf course after we get back.(I just have to keep them out of the sand traps)

This is so funny - yesterday I took Sam to the vet for his 2nd round of shots - so I was expecting him to be tired. . .especially since I took him to the pet store afterwards to pick out a toy. . .

Boy was I wrong! My DH got home and we took Sam for a walk. (about 45 minutes) Sam wanted to RUN. . .so I jogged around with him for a long time. Then, when we got home, we took him in the back yard and he did the burn for close to another 45 minutes. Shooting around the yard like a greased pig! It was so funny. That's the first time he's done it and kept it up.
He'd zip back to us, nip at our feet and around the yard again, ears flapping in the wind like dumbo! Finally he practically collapsed, frog-style with his back legs all splayed out in the grass.

Funniest thing!

When we lived in NY, we had lots of stairs in the house. Sammi would do her burns up and down and around sll of them. Now that we live in Florida and have a one story open floor plan, it's funny to watch her change her "flight pattern". She comes up with new "designs" all the time, making sure she hits every bed in the house. If I happen to miss the actual burn, I know it's been done because all the sheets on every bed are pushed up into the corner of the bed! She's a rip but what would we do without her? They're all so cute and their personalities are just spectacular!
