    Simarra doesn’t ride in the car or watch TV but I can totally relate/agree with all the others! I took a nap yesterday and had to wait for my “napping partner” before I could doze off. Simarra is crazy but we love her!!

    My Brandy would get so excited when people she loved came in the door, wiggling so much and wagging her tail. Nearly all dogs do, but I’ve never seen another dog walk sideways, in a u shape, like a crab the way she did!

    Triton gets that wiggle going and he could knock me down. Very good boy and very loving. I don’t think he knows what mean is. Loves to lay outdoors and just look around and is loving of my other two dogs.

    I just got a boxer/rottie mix, and I can already see some of these! She’s the sweetest, most loving dog! Any suggestions on how to train her, though? She’s 7, and doesn’t seem to have been taught even basic commands. I’m used to training GSD’s, and I don’t think those tactics are going to work on Cara.

    Love my 2 boxers.
    I didn’t know a thing about the breed, when we found our first boxer roaming the streets, just knew the second I saw him, he would be an amazing companion, and boy was I right.
