"Indeed, our lives have been enriched beyond measure because of the love of a dog. We have been adopted by that most irrepressible of clowns, that most intuitive of comforters, that most selfless of companions-the Boxer."
"He will make you laugh; he will make you cry; he will try your patience; he will outwit you when he can. And he will love you with an intensity that will suprise and amaze you. He will be your canine soul mate."
"A Boxer without a reason is a Boxer immovable."
"Living with a Boxer is an odyssey, full of adventure and fun. Such a journey requires that the human involved take complete responsibility for the welfare of the one creature on earth who will never offer criticism, never complain, and always stand ready to serve and protect."
"The bond between a Boxer and his family is really no less than a remarkable, caring, and totally committed love affair."
Above are Extracts from the book: "The Boxer: Family Favorite" by Stephanie Abraham
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.

Creation
When God had made the earth and sky,the flowers and the trees, He then made all the animals the fish, the birds and bees And when at last He'd finished not one was quite the same. He said I'll walk this world of mine and give each one a name. And so He travelled far and wide and everywhere He went, a little creature followed Him until its strength was spent. When all were named upon the earth and in the Sky and Sea, the little creature said "Dear Lord, there's no name left for me." Kindly the Father said to him "I've left you to the end. I've turned my own name back to front And called you DOG, my friend".

A Poem for the Puppy Owner
Don't smell crotches, Don't eat plants. Don't steal food or underpants. Don't eat my socks, Don't grab my hair... DON'T RIP THE STUFFING FROM THAT CHAIR! Don't eat those peas! Don't touch that bush! Don't chew my shoes... What IS that mush? Eat your cookie, Drink your drink, Outta the toilet! Outta the sink!
AWAY FROM THE CAT BOX, IT'S FOR THE CAT! (And MUST you kiss me after that???)
Yes, raising a puppy, Is not for the lazy! Though puppies are funny, They're also crazy. But don't despair, Though toil and strife. After 3 years, you'll get back your life! So, let's go for "walkies", You can "do your thing" (And perhaps I'll get back my DIAMOND RING!)
