Boxers are silly, sweet and mischievous. They clown around with family and friends, are patient and playful with children, but show a deliberate and wary face to strangers, responding with unmatched courage to anything that threatens their loved ones. Those characteristics are why people love them.
It’s been often said that dogs are the only creatures on earth that love you more than they love themselves. Well, Boxers are no exception!
But sometimes, we take our furry friends and wonderful companions for granted. There are important life lessons that are sometimes easy to forget in our hectic lives, that all Boxer owners must never forget.
If we want to pay back the favor and give them the best life possible, these 20 important reminders should serve you well as awesome Boxer owners. The last one (#20) brought me to tears…
Check out the 20 Things All Boxer Owners Must Never Forget on the next page:

I never forget every single one of this 20 things. My Pipa is the second boxer i own, she’s 3 years old; before Pipa ; we had our Stefi, and i still miss her. When she was sick, i stayed with her for two nights without sleeping, till she was gone :'( :'( , still cry over that. When they go, they take with them a piece of our heart , that we never get it back, it will always be missing, but i learned , from years with having dogs, that another pet will help, and time will too. My Pipa is very much loved too, and yes, it helped ease the pain of loosing Stefi.
