You Know You Own a Boxer If.....

You Know You Own a Boxer If....

1. You view the blanket on your bed as disposable.
(some people actually keep the same blankets for years, without having to discard, due to multiple washings and dinginess)

2. You know that in a couple of years your carpet will have to be replaced.

3. Muddy footprints on the floor no longer send you into a tizzy.

4. Water on the kitchen floor and wet stocking feet, no longer upsets you.

5. You have entertained thoughts of another boxer or have even gotten one or two more.

6. Stepping on a rawhide bone in a dark hall is not unusual.

7. You can't finish a t.v. show because you are hopping up and down to let a dog out. (because they can't decide whether they would rather go out or be in.

8. Your vacation plans (instead of depending on how much fun) hinge mainly on, housing for your pup.

9. Your vehicle size depends on the comfort of your dog.

and number 10.
Your daily routine at work is dictated by what time your dog needs to go outside to potty.

Does any of this sound familiar?

- For some reason EVERY show on television always broadcasts with a boxers head right in the middle!

- When you eat dinner, you use 1 fork, 1 knife, 1 spoon and 50 napkins.

- When you don't need to put any decoration on you front door because there is always a big smushy face smashed up against it.

- When the pillows on the couch spend more time on the floor and less time on the couch.

- When you realize that buying new remotes every week is a losing battle.

Too Funny,

- How about when you go shopping for new furniture and you try to explain to the salesperson that you have to get fabric that will work well with the paws/nails of two boxers.

- Trying to find matching covers for the furniture that is supposed to be off limits to the babies but they just don't get it so you buy slipcovers rather than discipline them.

- Forget about washing the glass in the doorwall because it will just be smeared all up again in a few minutes.

You gotta just love those babies.

Oh yes they all sound too familiar! Jow about

Having to explain to your friends that you can't go out because there is no one to watch the dog and she's been alone all day and you just can't do that to her

Having 2 dining rooms chairs as a make shift ramp onto your bed because she's getting too heavy to pick up and you just can't see her jumping off the high bed

Going to work with dirt, food, slobber on your clothes is an everyday thing now

They're so worth it though aren't that?! :D

Since we moved into the house, my take on this one has been, "You can't finish a t.v. show because someone is whining that it is past his bedtime."

Furthermore, "You can't read in bed because he doesn't like to sleep with the light on."

...if you have lots of dog toys all through the house! :p Even though they have their own toy box. The fur kids just can't stand to see their toys in that box!

Peeople look at you weird when you are talking about your "babies"

Your face hurts from laughing at this ball of energy

You've learned to live with the burping, gas, snoring

You've never been more excited to get home and play!lovicon

You kow you own a Boxer if.......

1. Every trip to Petco leaves you at least $60 poorer.

2. You feel bad going to the gym when you should be walking them instead. THEY NEED THEIR EXERCISE TOO!

3. You make an extra egg in the morning with no salt and pepper.

4. You have to fill your Brita pitcher twice as much because they deserve good water too!

5. Short, tiny, fine, hairs no longer bother you in your furniture and clothing!

OMG - I thought mine were the only dogs that ever did that. The time for bed changes daily, depending upon what kind of day they've had. It's only 2 of them that do it (out of 4) - the purebred boxer and the boxer/greyhound mix that is the most boxer-ish. They can't go to bed alone, either, and apparently laying on the couch, ottoman, or chair and sleeping doesn't count! LOL
