If I didn’t have Boxers…

[BeckyNC]

If I didn't have a Boxer...

I would not have a plastic bag collection for poopie pick-up.

I would not wake up sore from having to grip the corner of the bed, since I’m not important enough to sleep in the middle of it.

I would not get attacked by “the tongue” on weekend mornings when 6:15 is not the appropriate time to be getting up.

I would not be forced to throw slimey balls around the house during games of fetch

I would not have so much difficulty making the bed (Tae gets up on it and gets sassy with me).

I would not need to “stand to the right” when walking up the stairs in the house, so the princess has room to pass on the left without running me over.

I would have no one to talk to at home when friends aren’t over.

I would not be spending so much time on BW when I have work to do between 9 and 5!

If I didnt have Shotze:

Id have a nice swept floor all the time and Id be able to do it without her attached to the end of the broom.

Id be able to wear a scrunchie in my hair and sit on the couch instead of having it pulled from my hair and chasing her for 30 minutes to get it back.

Id have LOTS more money and not as many bones, treats, toys, grooming supplies laying around.

I wouldnt wake up in the middle of the night and step on a monster knuckle bone and hobble around swearing to myself.

I wouldnt have to warn the neighbors that she is a loving boxer while handing them paper towels and saying "OFF!".

I would have no entertainment at night...boxer burns are so funny.

I would have time to smell the flowers instead of saying "Hurry up"

My right arm wouldnt be 5 inches longer from Shotze pulling on her leash all the time.


Id be SO lost without her!!!!

I swear MAgoo does 99% of these things as well =)

If I didn't have a boxer

I'd be able to use the bathroom without him whining and complaining outside the door cause he can't come in

I'd be able to keep lotion on my legs for more then 10 seconds

I wouldn't have to be constantly vigilant that the bathroom door stays shut so Magoo doesn't snack on bathroom garbage

I wouldn't be woken up in the middle of the night by barking at a critter on the patio or some other invisible goblin

I wouldn't have a reason to go to the beach every weekend or to vacuam all the sand out of the back of my car

I wouldn't have to explain to visitors that the boxer burn is perfectly normal and really my dog is not pyschotic!

got to love these goofballs!!

 

[duke_n_mason]

Ok I have more to add....

I would have any company when I have to use the bathroom.

Matter of fact I wouldn’t have any company when I did anything! :D

I wouldn’t have anybody to let me know that a leaf blew across the yard.

I wouldn’t have a reason to collect cute Boxer stuff.

I wouldn’t have velvet lips and heads to kiss.

I wouldn’t get to hear the music of food bowls being knocked around.

I wouldn’t get the crap scared out of me when I wake up to a boxer face sleeping on my pillow 2 inches from my face.

I could spend hours looking around the internet for stuff for me and not my babies.

I wouldn’t be so devastated by the thought of losing my babies, cause without them my life would be less enjoyable. Man I love those dumb dogs.

8. not have had a fat lip from his puppy head banging into me for boxer kisses

I forgot how to quote...and I'm too tired to think right now...BUT I copied the text in blue above ...

I just had this very same thing last week, the FAT LIP!!!! Ouchie that hurts!!!

You bend over, trying to settle the boxer down, and they come up and head bump you right in the face. Ouch!!!

I loved reading over all of these replies. Some of the boxer things don't happen in my household anymore, and they brought back great memories!!! Some of them happen all of the time, like the drinking of the bath water, LOL. I take Tyra with me to keep her out of trouble, and then I don't relax because 1) everything gets pushed into the tub (razor, wash cloth, soap), 2) and she will not stop licking.

 

[Austin's Mom]

My Mom would be able to walk thru my house without having her shoes ripped off of her feet and nearly knocked down!

The birds would enjoy eating at the feeder and hanging in the bird bath without being charged at.

I wouldn't have to order extra food at restaurants so I'd have something to bring home to Aus. (so what if people think I'm a pig!)

If I didnt have a boxer
3. I would have to clean more often because people would come over.



I'm cracking up at this one....it is sooo true. The only human company we get is another boxer freak...and she brings her boxer....BTW, i don't bother to clean up when she comes

Ha-ha! What a great thread...you guys have covered everything there is to love about our babies, but I have 1 more to add.
I wouldn't have had knee surgery because Sammi came running into me and I didn't move out of the way fast enough!!! That being said, I love this baby more than I ever thought possible

 

[schipman]

Thanks to this thread I know I am not the only "crazy" lady who spells words in front of the boxers. I swear they are starting to know that P A R K means dog park and they head for the door.

Silly Boxer songs

If I didn't have a Boxer my neighbours/people wouldn't think I'm a weirdo when they walk past and hear me singing songs to Wilson like; (think of the "Hokey Pokey" song, the part that goes ooooh the hokey pokey, ooooh the hokey pokey...) "Oooooooh my little Willie, oooooooh my silly Willie, oooooooh my gorgeous Willie...." or (Austin Powers theme song) "Oh Willie Pooh, oh Willie Pooh..." Please don't ask how they came to mind, they just came out one day and I've been singing them ever since . :o This is what Boxers do to you, they bring out the silliness (or weirdness hehe) in you. :p Or maybe I AM just a big weirdo...

Speaking of what Boxers bring out of you...Wilson just farted and brought out my gag reflex :eek: I swear, I thought I would be in the clear cause he never farted when I first got him! But this past week he's been horrible! Must be the (gradual) switch to a new food - or atleast I hope so...
