Top Ten Questions You've Always Wanted to Ask Your Boxer

[DarlingBri]

Here is a list of the Top Ten questions I would like to be able to ask Eimear. Please feel free to add your own Top Ten questions!

10) Why does some poop small better than others? What is it about one pile of poop that's boring and uninteresting, while another is the most fascinating collection of matter ever amassed by the universe?

9) When are you going to figure out that the guy you love when we're all on a walk is the same guy who you're terrified of in the house?

8) What's with the autistic, self-induced Time Outs when you sit in the corner with your back to the room and stare at the wall for absolutely no good reason?

7) While I can understand why the phone book may be a canine delicacy (I'm something of a paper chewer myself), what is it about the plastic casing on the laptop or the plastic lever on my office chair that you find so appetizing?

6) Why are you afraid of ever convenience store in the city, but not afraid of the vet's or the animal shelter?

5) Why, oh Secret Agent Dog, will you happily chase, leap on and kill Mr Squeeky in front of me but not play at all in front of John? He's starting to think I'm having flashbacks and halucinations from my less than 10-Stepped college days.

4) Why do you so clearly need us to be your pack leaders and treat us with Alpha submission, and yet feel compelled to herd us up and down the stairs like you're afraid you're about to misplace a puppy?

3) When are you going to understand that neither John nor I wants your food or your water and that you can just <i>sit down and eat it</i> without 12 stealthy perimeter patrols per meal?

2) If you wake me up because you need to go in the middle of the night (good girl!), WHY do you balk at actually going down stairs and then at actually crossing the threshold to the great outdoors?

1) And finally, since John walks you at 2 or 3 am and we know you can hold it for more than 6 hours (because you do it at least once a day), WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO LET MOMMY SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT?

1. Do you love me as much as I love you?
2. Why is it in one moment you are lovingly grooming a less than happy-about-it kittie and in the next trying to EAT that kitty you so perfectly groomed??
3. Why must you jam your wet cold nose into my butt EVERY morning? It hasn't changed!
4. Why when I am bragging about how well you are doing with housebreaking that you decided THAT second to cop a squat right there??!! (only happened a few times months ago)
5. If you know you are going to gag, hack, cough and eventually throw up that grass/wood/paper/dust/etc..WHY eat it in the first place.
6. Would you rather me just toss our empty water bottles, cans, milk containers etc into the yard rather than the recycling bin since you are forever taking them out of there and playing with them?
7. Whats with those random boxer burns out of nowhere.
8. Whats with the pulling my arm out of it socket trying to get somewhere on the walk..don'tcha know the faster you walk..the quicker its over.
9. Why do you have that love/hate relationship with each other (Echo & Carson). Hours on end trying to kill each other but the second its sleepy time..well its all lovey dovey between you two.
10. Do you see my girl Blizzy?

8) Do you forgive us when we have to leave you at home during the day?
7) Why do you feel the need to let us know EVERTY TIME the squirrel is in the back yard?
6) Why can't you get along with every dog at the dog parks so that I can enjoy watching you run like crazy without fear that you are going to get into a fight?
5) What is with the perpetual licking; my face, my legs, your paws, the rug?
4) Why won't you play fetch?
3) So how do you really food about your dog food/ treats/ taste wise?
