Hug your boxer extra tight today!!

As I mentioned in my post introducing CoCo, I use to rescue Boxers. Here are a few of my rescue/foster fails.😉

It all started when a friend who bred Boxers got a female her male would NOT breed.

This is Duchess. She lived to be 10 years old and had a fatal heart attack in our front yard.

To my pretty Princess CoCo. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Are you serious?

My 38 kg little pet cuddles at home, but outside he’s an unguided missile. A complete energy bomb. He farts, smacks his lips, snores, drools… but I wouldn’t trade him for anything. He’s already my third one, and he still keeps surprising me.

Hello fellow Boxer owners and lovers. I use to rescue Boxers and only have one old girl left . She (CoCo) will be 12 years old on the 7th of this month. Boxers are my absolute favorite breed of dog.

My baby boy couldn’t decide if he was happy or upset over the car ride but overall he enjoys them especially if we are getting pup cups or going to the doggie park

Never had a better dog than a boxer, fourth boxer over the last 30 years. First girl.

If he’s not sitting bolt upright in a chaise that’s too small for him or out front on the patio, he’s perched atop this couch peeking 🫣 out through the blinds. 😂 I love his crossed paws. ❤️
