My Vicious Boxer! LONG VENT

[boxer-newbie]

Hehe, I'm glad I asked if it was acceptable before I asked more

I live way out in the country too...only the UPS man knows, LOL!!! He was intimated at first by Samson, once he started growing large, but he soon learned that Samson would rather lick him to death. We have a home-based business so Fedex and UPS frequent us. The UPS man now honks his horn when he arrives in front of our house. He doesn't honk because he fears for his life, instead, he honks because it gives us a chance to take the package at the gate and he isn't licked to death. Ha ha ha. We have; however, had one distant neighbor knock on our door and accuse us of having a vicious bull-dog (!) that comes down and terrorizes his dogs. First, a boxer is no bull-dog, second, mine does not leave his fenced in yard. This person said we need to keep our dog on a chain inside the fence. No way! Only if Samson would decide to start leaving his area. People are nuts! Gotta forgive them, but they are foolish.

Mush, LOL, I just realized your dog's name, "Mushky Pushky." Somehow I nickname all of my animals, and even did my kids, it just seems to happen naturally. Anyhow, I call delilah "Mooshie Mooshie" or Mushy Mushy. It started off as Bootsie Mootsie (because of her markings on her paws that look like white boots) and somehow it changed to Mooshie. It's hilarious.

Mary (Skippy), Bob (Sarge), Samson (Chomper or Chompie), Delilah (Mooshie Mooshie or Queen Bee), Jackson (Lab/boxer that I call Frugal Poodle, Doodle, Samoodle), and our other crazy critters

hey boxer-newb,

Some people take one very very bad story about one very very vicious dog (i.e. pitbull), and they base their feeilngs about *all big dogs* in that same category. It's very ignorant, I know.

The best thing you can do is to let that lady be. At least you told her how your baby is, and it's her problem if she chooses to believe something else. She's not worth your time, y'know what I mean? Good thing is you got a couple of your neighbors to like Boxers.

Yes! Do be careful!

I had something like that happen to me once!

My dogs have NEVER caused any problems with any neighbors, never are out of the fence, never left out to bark, but I guess there was some crazy person around here that didn't like them. Because I found meat in my yard one morning! I have no clue who did it. It just made me SO mad! :mad: Luckily my dogs didn't have a chance to eat any. It took me a long time to clean it all, as there was pork chops, chicken legs and crumbled meat loaf! :mad: That was about a year ago, I haven't seen anything since, thank goodness. But I'm always on the alert, careful to check the yard before the dogs do.

I must say I feel really sorry you have to deal with such people, I must be lucky, wherever I go i get so many compliments how cute my Toby is, the worst thing that can happen is that people either do not have time or no interest and both reasons are totally understandable. I would go for higher fence, that might be safer. From my experience there are people around us that just are not able to process any explanation and change their mind. I would just avoid them.

LOL Skippytwo

Isn't it funny how the names of our dogs evolve? I have four dogs and none of them wind up with their given names. I have Maggie, who evolved to Mitchy pitchy, and Kobe who evolved to Ko-pee-pee. In the end, they come to me no matter what I call them......just not late for dinner"LOL.

Sheila & the gang, including Mushsky Pushsky.:p

Great Idea!!

Yes,

I think a walk around their home every night would help. Either they will learn to keep their mouth shut, or learn about this wonderful breed.
