In Reply to: At least someone here is enjoying snow - desperado
well; he is the first boxer I have had that I actually have to make come in the house. He runs and slides he buries his head in it, eats it, just has a gay old time. My golden who just died about 8-9 weeks ago loved snow as well, he would dive in and make doggie snow angels. :-)

I got my dog Walter at a boxer rescue and he looked like a boxer pup but I quickly discovered (sm)
He was either a mutant boxer or not even part of the litter I picked him from. He had the jowly muzzle all the pups had, but he was huge. He seemed to be the same age as the rest of the litter, you could tell by the eyes and the teeth, but he was kind of like the big clutz of the group. But oh so cute. He turned out to be huge and like a lab/great dane mix. He has the short fur of a boxer and the big chest, and I now think he either was an orphan puppy who got put in with the litter or mom had another mate. Either way, I am so happy he is the one I chose, he is such an interesting character and a really stunning and majestic dog. Still a clutz though, he falls down over himself on the beach and stairs. And he is so tall he prefers to sit on top of the stairs on the deck with his front paws a couple steps down. But I've always had rescue dogs and they are so special.
Walter, I posted below. I am thinking now they either put him in with the litter
mine LOVES coconut lime verbena from BABW. LOVES it
it's the smell -- just smells "clean" plus i think it reminds him of me ... weirdly, even my teen sons say it smells nice and clean and they like it too! smells bring about different calms in people... no way should you worry.
Snow?! What snow? LOL I live in south...sm
Mississippi. We rarely have snow so I can't relate, but I think the snow is beautiful though. I tell ya, a couple of years ago my husband and I went to upstate New York during March or April, not sure now which. I froze to death. I seen enough snow to get my fill. It was a bitter cold too. I am not used to that. A cold front had come through so I don't know if it normally snows there that late in the year or not.
I have a Boxer
and they are a whole lot of work, but they are wonderful! As puppies especially, they can be quite a handful, but they are the most loving dogs I have every seen. I'm sure the people just want to make sure that you can handle taking care of a big/active dog. Thank you for rescuing one!!!
We have a 10-week-old boxer now...
have had a lab/mix in the past...
Is your pit mixed with boxer?
He looks like my boxer a bit
My very first boxer as an adult had kennel
cough. I rescued her from a pet shop under similar circumstances. She had been there with her brother and her brother died. I refused to let her die in a pet store so brought her home took her to the vet and got her started on medication. The first month was rough, there were nights I just sat in bed and held her, she felt so miserable. She finally got through it and after that rocky start she lived to the age of 13.5 with not another medical problem the rest of her life.
Dempsey is a purebred boxer and Boo
we think is shepherd/greyhound mix. She has the shepherd ears but the body of a greyhound or Pharoh hound (good guess Misha). The person I got her from told me she was a shep/dane mix that weighed 100 lbs, so I was suprised to see this 60-pound smaller dog. She is sweet and is slowly getting used to her new home.
This is our 5-month-old boxer, Bettis

He is adorable...he just has a boxer face to me...
not pointy like some pits are...
Funny--everyone is afraid of my boxer...
and he wouldn't hurt a fly, but the old lady (13 years old) would not allow anyone in the house and will bite! She knocked over the meter reader once (when he came in the yard alone, after I told his company to schedule, so I could put her away--he thought he could give her a milk bone and she would be okay. Really, she just ate the milk bone and then attacked him) He said he laid in the yard for three hours because she wouldn't let him get up until I got home. She did not bite him, though, which is lucky because that was in California and I am sure they would have put her down.
my boxer chews up blinds....
Before we started crating him when we leave, he chewed up at least 8 window blinds.
Love my boxer, too!!! He is WONDERFUL...
with the toddler!
My hubby has no boxer boundaries. He will go down the street if he wants!
xx
Oh, and he SAYS he loves her dog.
Muslims aren't supposed to have dog saliva touch them. Curiously, he LOVES the dog but I have seen him raise his LEG to the dog and the dog cower. Psycho wacko freak job.
My dad has one. He loves it and so
do I. Just couldn't afford one myself.
The only man I know who loves being
He says he enjoys it..it is peaceful and quiet...when the wife and her kids and grandkids come home it is like WWF. Chaos, screaming, yelling, fighting. No wonder the boy drinks!
loves!!!!!

Oh, I had those hugs and loves and all
in earlier years, the works but you would be totally surprised what a chunk of money can do to a person. I never would have thought in a million years and I did instill good values in the kids and never for 1 minute have thought I have failed. I would bite my tongue off before I spoke to a parent of mine like this 1 did about my getting the money. You hear about families fighting in the courts about property left to 1 and not the other and money and things like that- it is not unusual and even though he got over $50,000.00 from this family member, he thought he should have the rest of what was in the bank which I got. It can happen. Oh, by the way, raised with stepfather that both seemed to be pretty close to. I know this sounds harsh but I will not take abuse from him, from my husband or any other person. His father did not give 1 red cent for his upbringing- I did that all. Oh, this son is married so he has his wifes family and that is all he thinks he needs anyway. I do not lose any sleep over this. Never a pushover here and do not intend to start now.
Ditto! 27+ yrs together and he still says he loves me EVERY day, AND thanks me

Loves of my life are
the 2 male cats my hubby brought home from Wal-Mart, some guy had them outside. Guy said found beside road, who knows and really how cares. They are wonderful, gorgeous brothers, long coats, black and white and I love being able to stroke them with 1 hand while still working (do a lot of editing so can do this). I had them fixed at an early age and believe in that but still will feed any stray that comes in my yard or I see out anywhere.
My cat loves cantaloupe
She goes crazy if she even smells it when we open the refrigerator.
My 19 y.o. daughter loves him. nm

You find out what the kid loves the best
and that is what you take away. I have 2 children, both grown. Whereas 1 thing would work with 1 (taking switching and YES, I do believe in them), the other 1 would do anything to not have a switching. So 1 kid did not want to stay grounded and the other did not want the switches so that is exactly what they got. You have to take away anything that pleases them the most. I would go with the thing she likes the least which here appears to be the in school suspension (and it would not stop just at school, punishment should continue at home as well.) You say think barbaric? I went to a very big school as teenager, no fights, no cussing, no acting out- you know something? I would almost guarantee that all got switchings/belts/swattings, or what I would call almost down home beatings and everyone that I knew and grew up with knew how to get along, the majority turned out well, prosperous, good humans. We did not suffer, instead I am thankful for the times I was punished. That is what has gone very wrong with the kids now. They are so out of control. I would never think about talking back to an adult, teacher, parent or otherwise. I had total respect and still do for my elders.
My DD loves hers. Interesting. nm

I get them all the time...everyone loves them

I understand that your dog loves you,
but your dog is a pit bull and they can attack spontaneously whether they are provoked or not. There is no way to predict it. Why risk someone's life?
I don't have any dogs because my husband is allergic to them, but I would absolutely love to have one because I understand they can provide that kind of unconditional love, and frankly, we all need that! I would never, however, choose a breed that is known to be unpredictable and dangerous and could maim or kill someone I love or a stranger walking down the street were I too slow to close the door or forget to close a gait securely and an accident occur.
There are lots of breeds that demonstrate the kind of dedication and love that you describe. My mom has a mixed dog (Pyrenees/St. Bernard) who is a genuine companion to her. She is obedient and trustworthy and gentle. You can get a dog who genuinely loves you who is not a pit bull. I truly hope you never encounter a time when your dog misconstrues your actions and you trigger some instinct that tells her she is in danger, or that you are in danger from another person. Tragedy could strike so quickly.
When a man loves a woman got
me going, as well as Ghost and Simon Birch, believe it or not. DH thought I was crazy.
Very cool! I bet he loves it! (nm)
My daughter loves
the swaddle blankets that have Velcro for keeping in place when you wrap them up.
Since you are not supposed to have them wear coats in the car seats, she lays that in (is pretty thin, buckles the baby up, and then wraps it around (over the buckles). He looks like a little hot dog when she is done. :)
She has also been using it in bed at night. They say not to cover babies up anymore, but his little hands were cold and was not sleeping well. She swaddled him in one of those blankets, and he slept so much better! Being so young he could not move enough to get it unhooked or get it over his face. He will be 2 weeks old tomorrow. :)
My 14-year-old son loves to read too...his SM
favorites are:
Harry Potter series
Eragon series
Lord of the Ring series
Chronicles of Narnia
Series of Unfortunate Events
Alex Rider series
Left Behind Series
...there are many other series, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

be happy he is in her life and loves her
nm
Friends and Everybody Loves Raymond
Repeats of Raymond still make me laugh!
I don't either. If she loves your brother, that means she SM
should love you too, or, at the very least, respect the love you have for one other. She doesn't seem very loving.
My stepdaughter just got booted out of house by my stepson DH bought for the two of them by his new girlfriend. Doesn't exactly sound like love.
If you love man, you must love family or at least try to get along.
Sorry you had a bad time. Again, I don't understand this behavior. Life is easier when all get along and life is too darn short.
My cat LOVES vanilla pudding
He's only had it a couple times when I had to give him medicine, but the second he sees that little cup he goes crazy!
I just love when people kid about who a dog loves most! SM
God love em, what they bring to our lives is just not adequately said. You gotta feel it. He is lucky to have you!
My 9 y/o daughter LOVES Ace of Cakes
I don't think it's weird though. I also really like The Deadliest Catch.
I must be the only one who LOVES driving at night.
When I was a kid, I did a lot of long-distance driving with my dad, and we were on the road a lot at night. I always loved that. It seemed so cool to be out on the roads at night when most of the world was tucked into their houses. It always seemed like an adventure. And then, I'm an avid backpacker and have been known to solo. I love the woods at night and the sounds of owls. It's lovely at night when it's quiet and dark.
Within the last 30 minutes I walked in the door following a 3-hour ride, mostly on the PA turnpike. It's not late, but the days are short now. I purposely left as the sun was going down, because I love watching the pinks and oranges of sunset. The moon is full tonight, and I saw the moon rise tonight, too. Che bella luna! It was just beautiful.
I have a dependable car, and if I were in trouble, I know basic mechanics, have a cell phone and AAA. I also know that most people are good people, and so that's how I choose to live my life ... counting on the good and appreciating the beautiful things. It makes me happy, and I'm well aware that the time is approaching when my eyesight, joints and muscles might not allow me to enjoy the simple things like driving at night or setting up my tent along a trail somewhere. So I'm doing it while I can!
HA! My cat loves to leave little presents
at my front door but when he had a mouse in the house and could hear it scratching, my cat hightailed it out of the room as fast as possible. Now that is the true meaning of "scardy cat". LOL!
My husband loves 'Impossible Pie.' (sm)
It's WICKED easy to make and it's right on the box of Bisquick.
How sweet, my DS loves to cook as well. nm

My teenage son loves giftcards for
game stores. He loves PlayStation, etc. and he always wants a new game. I get him a card and he can go pick out what he wants.
DITTO... WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN
Andy Garcia was AWESOME in this movie. I watch every time it is on!
again, it seems one either loves it or has great distaste for it.

Terrible, but my husband loves it...
And it looks pretty nasty, too!
I cut up a bunch of red potatoes (skin on) to fill the crock pot about 3/4 full, along with one large onion. Then cut up 1# of bacon and 1# of whatever sausage sounds good that day--I prefer spicy italian. Add a little water and cook on low all day. About an hour before dinner time, I take all of the grease off the top of it and get rid of it with a ladle--add 1 pint half and half--salt and pepper to taste. Sometimes I add corn, too. Like I said, it is like trying to cause a massive coronary, but great when it is really cold out!

Misery Loves Company
Who has rubbed your nose in it that is now effected by the economic crisis?
For me...
Investment broker - not much call for stocks these days
Mortgage broker - self-explanatory
Realtor - again.....
All of these people were filthy rich and looked down on me, the lowly transcriptionist, who worked at home, who "really did not work", and look at them now.
I am the richest woman I know...which is not saying much.
My cat loves the Animal Channel.
I swear she does. She is sitting on my desk watching someone fish, catching Marlin, as I am typing this. I have noticed with other Animal Channel episodes she will watch. There is now a bunny going across the street, then back again and she follows her head with the bunny running. No, I am not crazy. My kitty actually does this. Anyone else?
