My Dog is, Um, Special Part 867
We all know that Boxers get extra boingy when they're excited, and
that they sort of lose control of their brains. Well, last night, Harriet managed to get so wound up that she launched herself backwards into the living room wall, about 3-4 feet off the floor. Thud! The specialest part is that I'm not sure she even noticed. The End. Also, among the old website photos I re-scanned were a couple of her sleeping in improbable positions. She was about 1yo at the time of these photos, and it makes me want to weep when I see how grey she's become. You can hardly tell now that she used to have black on her muzzle. The black around her eyes has greyed considerably, too. 1yo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cat-sidh/319135570/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/cat-sidh/319135571/ Now: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cat-sidh/304612872/ (Yes, that *is* the world's ugliest chair. But I couldn't throw it away, because, as you see, it was Harriet's junk/computer room bed.) -- Shelly (Warning: see label for details) http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) |

m: I saw a boxer today that looked just like Harriet! A dopple-boxer?! I wanted to stop my car and ask his person if she was "special" but felt quite sure she must be and that he already knew it. Yeah, anyone who is warped enough to live with a Boxer probably knows they're "special." Very, very special. Her new trick is to roll onto her shoulder and push herself, upside down, along the carpet with her hind feet while rubbing her face into the carpet and warbling to herself. When she's satisfied that I've admired her specialness sufficiently, she rolls over, stands up, and sneeze-snorts-blows dogsnot all over me. I am blessed. -- Shelly http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) Do *not* sit next to Dennis. -- Cabin Fever |
