Your boxer's worst habit?

[Sambolina]

Crosby always has to come over and wipe his face on someone (usually me) after eating or drinking. After drinking he manages to leaves the biggest wet patch on me, I was wondering exactly how much water can he retain in his jowls???

Stealing from our house guests and then getting them to chase him round the garden.

Eating cat poo.

BUT there is so much more on the good list!

Ginger
dragging and dropping stainless bowl on tile when she wants a drink.
boxer burn inside on the couch and off again
barking at certain people who come over and not stopping when told to
digging in yard
peeing when excited or scared but that is getting better

but the good definitely outweighs the bad

I'd have to say Reno's worst habit would be hitting guys in that perfect little target. I don't know how he does it - but he'll hit it 8 out of 10 times if the guys start playing with him.

Mason seems to have this down to a science too! Mason also likes to kick me out of my king size bed at night. Gas - hmmmm seems to be a pattern in this thread. Oh and I can't forget the whining! I ignore him so I don't give in, but he will whine for an hour if that's what it takes sometimes - never seen such a persistant little bugger!

Toni has them all and then some. Except the gas. So far we have been lucky there, only once or twice we had to leave the room. But I think the worst is in the mornings when we are trying to get ready for work and she does not want us to leave. She hides socks, shoes, bras, whatever she can get her teeth into. Then when I tell her it is time to go "out" she runs and gets under the bed. Needless to say we have dropped the word "out" from our morning vocabulary. Doesn't matter, she knows when it is getting time to go and under the bed she goes. I guess you can imagine how many days I am late to work. Good thing I work in the corporate world and no one really pays attention to what time you get in. We are now sitting down like we are going to stay home and being a lover she comes right out to get kisses. CAUGHT and out she goes. As smart as she is though I can imagine that will not work much longer. Oh well, I don't care what time I get to work, rather be home getting Toni kisses anyway! If they didn't have their "habits" where would the fun be?

liliths bad habits

First off hello to everyone, as this is my first real post, we have a rescued white boxer, who thinks she is human, all i can think is a two year old acts better than her, one of her worst habits is the "love" she has for my bf, when he walks in the house it begins with the run down the stairs and the shot to the crotch because she can't control her excitement, followed by the urination on his feet (we can't control this one, she was an abused resuce and her back leg was fractured when she was 2 months old and when it healed it pinced the bladder nerve in the bone sutures) and when he sits on the couch the licking of his gotee, I can't help but laugh becuase she pins him down so he can't get up or push her off. and then it progresses to the appearnce of the humping the foot, all she wants is her tummy scratched but it looks like she is humping your foot.
I can only imagine what fergus' bad habits are going to be (our new white boxer that we get in june)

Coz likes to attack my feet when I'm trying to put my shoes on. He also likes to eat shoestrings. When he's home alone he gets bored and likes to destroy things. Bed hog. Talks back. Attacks his leash while we walk. Jumps on people. Gives strangers "sneak attack kisses". Runs into the neighbor's yard. Steals stuff out of the trashcan. Jumps up when I'm eating. Jumps up onto the coffee table. Jumps up onto the couch.

Man, I love that little guy.

Habits

Hmmmm, bad habits huh?

Mush feels a personal responsibility to eradicate all bees. For every time she gets stung, it makes her more determined to get each and every bee that crosses her path. Swollen mouth, swollen feet, doesn't matter...they all must die....

Her greeting procedure. She runs to the door each time I come home, and doesn't just jump up on me....she throws her body at me and richochets off me. It's her way of saying "hi mom....glad you're home, hey, get up off the floor."

Everytime she get's wet from the sprinklers outside, she runs in the house, and rubs her entire body along every piece of furniture in the house....Oh, did I mention she considers my legs furniture? I think she considers the furniture her version of a hair dryer.....

AND, without fail, everytime we go out in public, she just happens to have a huge drool that needs to be shaken out of her mouth and onto whatever passerby happens to be there.

That's my MUSH,

Sheila

One of the most annoying habits of my girl katie is also kinda sweet. I have severe psorisis. Meaning i have large patches of dry itchy flaky skin all over. Mostly on knees, elbows and knuckles. I also have a large patch on my calf. In addition, i break out into hives whenever my baby girl drools on me. The most annoying thing that katie does is try to help by licking my "spots" which only makes them itch and crack more! it is sweet that she is trying to help but it really just hurts worse!

The second annoying habit of katies is when i refuse to play "doorman on a revolving door" she will lay down behind my chair and let loose with loads and loads of gas! I have to get up then. And i am back to playing doorman!

Worst Habits

I have three and I've read down about 30 posts and they do all that stuff. I'm going to say though, that the worst thing about my girls is the gas. When all three of them are laying around me, what is it that makes them ALL pass gas at the same time. I now keep a HUGE can of lysol that I can spray when I just can't take it anymore.

Ok, so Banner has one that isn't up here yet, surprisingly enough.

The most annoying thing he does is throw his hollow (extremely hard) bone on the hardwoods or any hard surface to try to knock the carrots (or whatever else may be stuffed in it) out. He knows that this is more likely to get results then dropping it on the carpet. How do they get so smart?!? Anyway we are teaching him to "put it on the rug" and that is pretty successful. He usually marches back to the rug with little argument and continues chewing and throwing it around.
