Back again with a Silver Story. This is part one of three from a Silver Boxer specialist
***************************************
I'm a HUGE fan of silver Boxers and have trained myself not to get frustrated when people say they want a "young one" for the kids, or so they can train it, or so they know it, or so they don't inherit bad habits. News Flash People: ALL puppies have bad habits!!!! You have to WORK very hard to fix those, but suit yourself. They say to pick a dog with the same personality traits as you so this is why Silvers suit me:
Most silver Boxers already know everything--like
me.
They like to spend a lot time relaxing on the couch—so
do I!
They prefer a car ride to a long walk or, heaven forbid,a run!
As for as not wanting to lose them too soon, I consider myself there FOR THE DOG, not the other way around. So if there’s an old Boxer out there that needs a place to live the rest of his life, for a day or a few years, he’s welcome at my house and it’s the least I can do considering what every Boxer I’ve known has done for me. We are now happily on our 3
rd silver Boxer.
The first one, Kellogg, was a permanent foster because he came in at age 7 with cancer. Kellogg taught us volumes about mast cell tumors and separation anxiety-he was a double-whammy!He was also mostly toothless and loved kids; we had two fun and crazy years with Kellogg!
