The new neighbors have a Brindle Boxer named Chance. He spends his days
outside while the family works but I think he goes in for the
evenings/nights. A few days ago I had my 2 nephews and 2 poodles down at
the stream on our property. The stream is in the opposite direction of the
neighbor's house but Chance got free and managed to find us (a good 1000
yards away from his house). Last time he got free, his owners told us he is
friendly and he does live with 2 young children so hopefully that is
accurate. The visit was short lived because Maui immediately showed Chance
that he had trespassed into MAUI LAND and was about to be evicted. Chance
left somewhat willingly.

Today he was back. I was outside riding the 4 wheeler and Chance started
chasing me. He wouldn't stay at his house and followed me back home. Maui
was out and they started playing. They played very well together for a
while so I brought Cali out. She also played nicely. I decided to take
them all down to the stream since it is so hot. Maui was off lead (as
usual) as was Chance (of course since he isn't even mine) and they stayed
with each other (and me). Cali was on lead, which she always is but it was
long enough she could still play and have fun. So, we get down to the
bottom of the hill and I see Chance dive into the water and lay down with
practically only his head left dry (apparently not all boxers have the same
distaste for the water that Harriet does?). It was a good visit, we saw a
frog and a baby turtle that was very cute. Chance stayed for a while and
only left after we all came in. A nice time for all involved I think.

Thanks! I agree and my favorite is where they are playing chase, Maui's
ears are up and both dogs look almost airborn.

Those are really cute photos of the dogs together; loved them. The boxer
looks young; nice dog. I can't believe they leave the dog out alone all
day. I bet he had a lot of fun with Maui. He must have a boring life being
alone all the time.

Mine is Maui being evil and obviously scaring the bejabbers out of that
poor Boxer!


yeah, that's a good funny one.

thanks, they had a good time and part of me hopes the Boxer breaks his lead
again (though only if he stays safe and doesn't go near the road).

I was wondering how old he is because he seems young and is smaller than I
thought he'd be. Maybe if I see the owners, I have to ask them.

Yeah, I don't like that kind of life for dogs. Hopefully he at least goes
in at night.

And maybe he'll come visiting again.

I don't know how hot/cold it gets where you are, but Boxers are one
of those breeds that do not deal well with extreme temperatures.
Hopefully, Chance's owners won't leave him out when the weather is
hot or cold.

Today he was back.

You have a friend. Hopefully he won't make a pest of himself, but
Boxers are *very* social, so the likelihood is that if you are out
and he is loose and alone, he will make a habit of coming to visit.

So, we get down to the
bottom of the hill and I see Chance dive into the water and lay down with
practically only his head left dry (apparently not all boxers have the same

Not all of them, but it's pretty common for them to hate water.
