B is for Boxer

After being told she's not allowed on the new couch, Bella the boxer decides to voice her opinion. Dexter enjoys Strauss. Baxter tolerates bunnies. Junebug and her puppies take a nap. (Boxers previously and previously)

I was about to post "lol that's not Strauss." I'm glad I looked it up first. Mixing up Johann and Richard...my music history professor would not forgive me. Although I feel for the pup banished from the couch, I can only imagine how much drool those jowls produce...yeah I wouldn't want soggy cushions either.

Boxers are the jowliest jowls that ever joweled.

They're also giant goobers. I would love to have a boxer in my life, but I also love not having a big wriggly tornado near my furniture.

You know that, the moment they left the house, Bella napped the heck out of that couch!

Boxers on trampolines are the bestest things in the world. Putting a dog which is mostly composed of springs and smelly farts on a rubber sheet suspended by more springs.

Indeed - and Buster the Boxer is the star of John Lewis's Christmas TV advert (and countless spin-off plushy toys). JL Christmas adverts are always a big deal over here but this year's ad is popular with boxers themselves, too.

That doggo's restraint around bunnies is Nobel Peace prize worthy. My dog can't even tolerate a squirrel seen through the window.

Puppies sleep so strangely! They are growing right before your eyes and it makes them jiggle and twitch -

My sister-in-law's sister and her husband have a boxer, and he (the dog, not the husband) is a huge slobbery goober. He's just the right height to bury his nose straight in to your crotch when you walk in the door, which is both hilarious and slimy due to the gallons of slobber drooling out of his mouth.

We were at their parents' house for the holidays a few years ago, and the boxer sat and watched while people played ping pong - back and forth, back and forth, watching the ball go each way. And then when the ball fell off the table, he'd immediately race after it, very carefully pick it up, and return it to the table. Covered in drool, but in tact.

In a clearing drools a boxer
And a farter by his trade
And he carries the reminder
Of every couch he'd lain upon
Got kicked off — 'til he cried out
In his anger and his pain
"I am sleepy! I am sleepy!"
But the couch was still forbade
Mmm-mm-mmm

Obligatory: Brachycephalic dogs like Boxers have be selectively bred into something pretty tortuous to the dog, making it difficult for them to regulate temperature and one of highest cancer rates of any breed.

That's not slobber. This is slobber.
