It's all about him ....so says the resident Boxer

So, here he is....one big 72 lb wiggly muscle.  His birthday is August 1, and he's getting to be an old man at 7.  His name is Papi, but he also goes by (and answers to) Knucklehead and Doofus.  He is a rescue dog,  gotten from the MN Boxer Rescue when he was 1 1/2 yrs old.

 Here he is....

 He's kind of a bed hog!!

 He was so excited about going to St Louis for Thanksgiving 2010, he sent my sister this picture.

 No, really, his bed IS big enough for him......

Tennis ball, anyone?

As you can see from the pics, he is a character. Boxers have tons of personality, they fart a lot , LOVE kids, can be very silly and learn quick. Papi is a real smartypants. His new favorite toy is the frisbee and I have been scouring garage sales for them - they don't really fly very well when there's big teeth marks in them.  He only gets to sleep in bed with Mikayla - she's his favorite kid.  And while he does love people food, he doesn't get much of it (except pizza crust, which he loves the best).  So usually, he'll sit in front of the pantry door, willing his treats to come out of it !!  Everybody be sure to wish Papi a Happy Birthday on August 1 !!
