Gabes,

Well, if we were given the genetics the boxer was dealt in their breeding history, we would all sound like that when we were sleeping. Actually, both Michael and I are pretty well challenged in that dept. When did snorting become unfeminine and indelicate?

The Mick was a Goddess of femininity, don't know anyone who has ever had a boxer girl who would argue that. I know goldens have their charms, Joe, but honestly, it's not even a contest Nestle can win here, despite her beauty.

That reminds me of the time, many years ago, while on a hunting trip in South Texas, (which was kind of primitive, and remote, back in those days), when after about a week of living out in the brush, three of us decided to go into the nearest town, and rent a motel room, just so we could enjoy a nice, hot shower, and put on clean clothes, (it was the middle of winter, which prevented us from just jumping into a stock pond to clean off.

The first one to try the shower was my dad. He immediately discovered that there was no hot water, (in fact, it was ice cold), but he was always tough enough to be able to put up with just about anything, in the interest of a good joke. Soooooooo, he pretended to be really enjoying the shower, with comments such as, "Man, that feels great!" - "This was really a good idea". etc.

When the next guy went in, my dad whispered to me that there was no hot water, (we found out later that the motel was having major plumbing problems), so get ready for some fun. Sure enough, a few seconds later, when that cold water hit full force, he screamed like a banshee, and then let out a stream of profanity that would make a sailor blush. :lol: :lol:

I decided that I wasn't as dirty as I thought I was, and so I passed up the opportunity. LOL. Those were the good old days. :ROFL:

Hey Tex, Nestle is wondering if she can setup an account here, she feels that she needs to talk for herself... In dog years she is 21.


Stanz and Connie, your passion for our 4 legged friends shows through. Our cannine cousins really are incredible.

Connies husband I'm pretty sure Nestle will turn more doggie heads than a comparable boxer... Based on observations with excellent eyesight... But they both do have there charms.

How long have you had boxers in the family?

- Do not have to prepare their own meals
- People bath and groom them unbidden
-They are readily showered with gifts and toys
- While taking their humans out for a walk the humans readily retrieve their poo
- Any room they enter they can command all of the attention

Joe,

I suppose that on the surface, that would seem legit, since she's closely related to a bona fide MC patient. :lol:

The problem is that if one dog joins, then another dog will feel that she or he also has the right to join, and pretty soon this place will go to the dogs, and before you know it, they'll be demanding special rights, and then the cats will come along, and demand the same, and this place will slowly evolve into a flea-infested litter box, that appeals mostly to flies.

Now, if she has MC, (and dogs do get MC), then that would be an entirely different situation. :lol:

Joe,

Actually, it's not Nestle's behavior that I'm concerned about - she certainly appears to be quite proper and well-mannered, in her photos, and with a little practice, her typing would probably improve. It's those snoring, slobbering boxers that I'm worried about. :ROFL:

Just kidding. Dogs do have some endearing, (and sometimes not), traits, don't they. :lol:

I know. It is so sad, though. We think she got it and pancreatitis from eating acorns. I guess I said that previously. Her lipase was high on the re-check the beginning of May. :sad: I hope this won't be ongoing.......
