Boxer Pal
Hi everyone. I've been visiting here for a long time, but finally decided to become a member.
My family has been boxer crazy forever. In the last 25 years we've had 7 boxers in all. My better half also had them as a child. We've had 3 males over time, (all named Mugs, it's a quirk with my better half) and 4 females. One fawn, two brindles and 4 whites. Two of the white females were deaf.
Currently we have one of the white deaf females, Shadow Dancer, and a very large (100 lbs) brindle male, Mugs (what else?). Shadow Dancer is not only deaf, she suffers (or we suffer?) with obcessive compulsive disorder. She chases shadows, and reflections most all of the time. At first it was terribly destructive, but we now have her on a prescribed med that seems to calm her slightly.
All but two of our dogs were rescues. All had some pretty sorry stories. And all of them took over our hearts and even the crankiest boxers became lovie babies. We often see the local boxer rescue lady, and she thinks we're very brave taking on our latest deaf female. No, we're just crazy. Crazy about boxers, and we probably have lost a few brain cells from being knocked over during Shadow's little dance.
