20 THINGS WE CAN LEARN FROM A BOXER

#1   On warm days, lay in the grass and catch the rays.

#2  If what you want is buried, dig until you find it.

#3   Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

#4   Take pleasure in the simple things in life such as a run in the park.

#5   Let others know when they have invaded your territory.

#6   You do not always have to be the top dog.

#7   Never pretend to be something you are not.

#8   Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

#9   When you are happy, do the kidney-bean dance and the wiggle-butt shuffle.

#10   Run, romp, and play every day.

#11   Be loyal.

#12   When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

#13   When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.

#14    Share the bed and the covers.

#15   No matter how often you are scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout  . . . run back and make friends.

#16   Love without strings, conditions, or expectations.

#17   Know that you can entertain yourself.

#18   Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

#19   Take naps and stretch before rising.

#20  Do not stop trying even though the wall is six feet high.

BOXER ANGELS

For those Boxer Babies in the sky
Who  have left our loving arms
Don't stop to ask or wonder why
Just know  they're free from harm
No pain or  fright confronts them now
They've left that all behind
They're embracing  joy and freedom
And still live in our minds
Eyes are bright  and seeing clear
Velvet skin is healed
Legs aren't stiff, and ears can  hear
Our love they still can feel
Embrace their  memory, hold it tight
Wipe away your tears
The Boxer joy that filled your  life
Will last throughout the years
Think of them  with happy thoughts
Say a thankful prayer
All those happy Boxer  angels
Still know that we care
