Newest addition to our family. We figures, eh, what the hell. Our life is absolute chaos already, why not get a boxer!

And oh yes, that is Mikaela, one of my twins. All the kids already LOVE that dog, she should get plenty of love for years to come.

    Yeah I know...the crate comes today, and we are going to crate her. She is already basically trained to **** outside, we are just working on pee! We have a really large backyard, so once I am sure there are no spots she can escape from she can spend some time out there.

    Thanks Steve, that was a big part of the decision. Plus my wife says I needed a dog that could match my energy level lol. We're already chasing each other around the yard. And Mikaela plays this game were she lays in Bailey's bed and lets Bailey attach her until she just starts giggling, stands up for a break, and then goes back in. Its pretty frigging adorable...

    Boxers are wonderful loyal dogs & great with kids. Friend had one & it was very playful even at 12y/o. Enjoy your new addition

    Bailey looks familiar, Boxers command your attention and won't give up until you acknowledge their need for you. They can easily be spoiled rotten in no time and learn the ropes pretty quick.

    She and your little girl are going to be the best of buds, enjoy them both while they are still young and innocent.

    Thanks Tony. Yes this is by far the most adventurous and outgoing of my three kids, the one that is going, to um, be the most creative! She already enjoys pushing the envelope and giving us a little sas. I think they will be friends for a long time.

    Don't know why, but the females dog I have had always seem to **** outside, but weak-bladders inside. My Eskie still has a bit of a pee problem at 9 years old.

    Congrats however, good looking animal, and the kid too.:cheesygrin:

    You know ... this is about the 3d time I've had a glucometer melt down from insanely high readings ..... you peoples have to stop it !!
    It was bad enough with Mike and his Hawaian Hell Hounds ... then Trey throws gas on the fire with his pooch .... now rooftop hits me with the double whammy of Mikaela & Bailey ! Is there no shame left in the world ?
    Oh, and Mike Reeter has to join in and add more precocious-ness with his boxer Roxie ..... gawdalmighty ....

    Well, it's going to be payback time. My son & DIL are moving in for a couple of months while they house hunt. Yes, with my obnoxiously cute granddaughter and grandson. They've been talking of getting a dog, so .... yes, this'll work out just fine ..... :loneranger: Expect pictures that'll turn you diabetic !! :eek:

    We had a boxer named Ginger when we were little. My dad built a "pen" (more like a mini-condo) in the basement for her to have her litter. He took movies (16mm?) that my sister has and who was going to transfer to video years ago.
    If she did ... be warned !! The sight of a 2 year old and a 3 year old crawling around in a straw bed with a herd of cute boxer pups while Ginger calmly watches is .... it's so cute, it'll make you sick !!
    :twisted:
    Thanks again you evil peoples. I have to go call Walgreens and order a couple of quarts of insulin now.

    That's awesome man. My 5 year old started kindergarten this week. There was much crying in this house, but surprisingly little from her! She's actually a little scared of Bailey, but still loves her. Here's Ellie ready for school:

    I can only hope sending her off to college will be easier?
