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:

You won’t find a better friend, companion or house mate than a Boxer and all of these things are true. Mine is 9 now and I look at her whitening face and watch as she moves a tad slower and know when her time comes it will be one of the most difficult times I’ll have, but I’m way better than I would be if we’d never been brought together! So my baby Bella you have made my life so much better.

My girl Dixie is almost 6. I hate seeing the grey hairs coming in on her face and back. Not because I don’t want an older dog…she’s my best friend and I don’t ever want to be without her.
