She turned a year old on New Year's Eve! Miss Piper Petunia. Every bit as much of a puppy as the day we brought her home.
She is the most high maintenance dog ever. She stinks... not because she is dirty... but because her gas is out of this world. She snores... loudly. She burps. She chews things (like my mom's BRAND NEW less than a day old really really nice coffee table)! She eats socks. She irritates the cat (which she is scared of... even after almost a year of having her in the family.. in fact, I think she is watching the cat in this picture.. making sure she doesn't get any closer) heee! She barks at her own reflection in the window at night (hilarious actually). She always needs to be touching me. Like if I am cooking dinner in the kitchen... she won't come sit beside me, she will come and sit ON my foot.. yep, right on top! On the couch while watching TV, she cuddles so close... your leg eventually falls asleep and you slowly but surely get pushed out of your spot. She has no idea how big she is. Or how strong she is. She runs like a rabbit sometimes... hard to explain, but it is true. Again, hilarious. She occasionally pees on the floor... her bladder must be the size of a raisin and she doesn't really 'ask' to go out... we just have to read her mind. She drools. She likes to go visit her 'friends' down the road if let out without being tied up (we live in the country and have no fences)... quite the social little thing. She thinks Harley's new ball pit is hers as much as it is his... and can't tell the difference between Laine's Webkinz and her stuffed dog toys. She is polite and sits nice to wait for treats. She thinks she should be a lap dog... but she is 55 pounds. She has the most out of control chin hairs ever! ha ha! She is 'girly' looking... has eyelashes, and girly eyes! lol Have I mentioned she farts? ha HA! Oh, and if you ever come to visit... please please put your shoes in the closet... or she just might eat them. Not that that has ever happened before or anything. ;)
too funny! as the mom of a 75lb boxer named Bodde, i know exactly what you mean!

LOL about the shoes. My old boss said the most expensive dinner party her ever threw was when he had to replace all 8 guests's shoes after the dog ate them. Everyone went home barefoot and laughing..

Well worded! I too have a boxer! And your explaination fits my boxer to the tee! Her name is meeka and is now @5 and is no longer chewing on things and is lazier! But all else stays! Yes the stinky farts that she tries to blame on others by way of immediately jumping of couch when she does it! They are the best dogs! Thanks for the bust out laugh!!
