Traits

[Johana]

:eek: One of my favorite traits, although not the one the most desired is when my Ellie (5 months) sits down or stands in the most bold stubborn position after given a command. I swear she is saying "Unless you have some prime rib for me I am NOT moving from this spot." She has done this since she came home at 7.5 weeks. It's so hard to be stern and not to laugh at a pint size Boxer who has such a bold look on her teeny tiny little face. My 11 month old Boxer (Jake) is exactly like Eoar from "Pooh." When I ask him if he wants a treat he just sighs and turns his head as if to say "Would you mind bringing that over to me, I am really not in the mood to get up."

Their lives are so tough:
-Sleeping in our king size bed
-Resting on the couch
-Their own toy box
-Not even knowing what a dog house is, or why they would ever need one
-Swimming in the 40'x20' pool
-Two square meals a day and about 20 treats (small ones)

It's not easy being a dog you know!

Sounds like they have such a hard life!!!

I think my favorite thing that Maggie does is when she gets that confused look on her face. It's so adorable! One example, we've been barking at her when we are taking her out or playing with her (in an effort to get her to bark to let us know she needs to go out). Instead of barking back at us, she stops whatever she's doing and gives us that confused look, as if to say "What in the world are you talking about?" It's priceless! She also does it when the cat's getting into her food, like "Aren't you going to do something about this?" She's too much of a chicken to chase the cat away herself. Its very entertaining!

I agree - Mason's got the life! He is spoiled rotten - in a good way though!

I love it if I make him get on the floor and sleep on his bed...He'll go to his bed, lay down and then sigh as loud as he can as if to say, 'gee whiz Mom, life is so tough!'
