Dogs Have a Sixth Sense

A personal story in the experience: I Like Dogs
W e own a sweet little white Boxer.  My son and I are often butting heads and the 'Real' Sabrina is always picking up on our negative vibes.  She usually comes nudging her way inbetween the both of us..  somehow pulling us together trying to make our hands touch..  or she does a crazy trick.. gets playful or anything to get us to laugh and forget what we're arguing about.

We call her our little peace maker.  Boxers are very sensitive dogs.  They love their humans and pick up on every emotion.  They love to be touched and are always near by, following us around from room to room even if only for a brief moment. 

We love our dog more than eachother sometimes.  She is truly a member of the family in every way.  DOGS RULE!!!

Oh, I just think boxers are the best. After our lab died I researched breeds and we picked out our boxer. He is the sweetest boy ever.

They really are such a sweet emotional and loving breed.. I just wish they came in a smaller size so I could have more than one.. she takes up ALL of the bed, but I love snuggling with her almost as much as hubby.. she's my baby for sure.. glad to find another boxer lover....

That is too funny. Our boxer sleeps in our bed too. The other night my husband had a very early morning. When the alarm went off I was frustrated that hubby wasn't turning it off. When I reached over to turn it off I realized the body next to me was our boxer. When I am traveling on business he sleeps in my spot. Otherwise he is usually at the foot of the bed between us.

Our's sleeps in my spot when I'm away on business too.. SO FUNNY.. It seems like every boxer owner has the same stories about their dog's personalities..
Does yours have to be 'touching' you all the time.. Ours has to lay next to us.. be in the same room... just be close.. I feel like she is a real person.. if only she could talk..
Another thing I love about them is they aren't barkers.. We had a beagle / hound mix that barked all the time.. it drove us crazy.. The only time our boxer barks is if a stranger knocks at the door.. she is very loving, but protective.. I know she would give her life for us..

That they do. Dogs can pick up on the slightest emotions, even ones we try to hide.
I would have used my lab's name as my screen-name, but...well...he's a guy and I am not. :>

Sometimes hindsight is 20/20 and you think....maybe I should have gotten the pet insurance. Although I think they have a max coverage?
