BOXER GLOSSARY/TRAITS
* Full butt lean - When a boxer comes up on the couch & stands over you
while you're watching TV. Front feet on one side and back on the other.
Then
when they're ready they just throw their backside onto you somewhere between
your chest & lap.....as if they're too lazy to stand up.
* Heavy Head - When your boxer places their head on your lap...like it's just
too heavy for them to hold up
* Inverted kidney bean - When a boxer lies on their backs with all fours in the
air squirming back & forth
* Kidney bean - wiggle from side to side....so heads & bums almost
meet....there is a slow & fast version of this!
* Life with boxers - is like a box of chocolates - "you never know what
you're going to get".....but they're all yummy!
* Lip flip - the ability to unknowingly flip the upper lip underneath showing
teeth....we call it the tough look (yeah right!!)
* Mexican stand off - boxer will suddenly "freeze" & stare at each
other face to face not moving until one gives in and pounces.
* Mouth wrestling - 2 boxers play by opening their mouths wide & facing off
touth to touth.... no biting just lots of noise!
* Peanut butter stuck to the roof of the mouth - Where they just lap at
nothing...throw head back & lick & lick.
* Pile or Stacks on - sleeping arrangement that consists of people & boxers
* Sawing logs - when a boxer snores
* Scooby Doo Run - run on the spot to get started (this one makes me laugh so
hard)
* Snubble - when your boxer walks beside you and nudges your hand with their
snout....usually with accompanied by a grin...can be forceful snubble or gentle
snubble
* Tongue getting stuck - licking and then pause mid-lick
* Transition dog - a dog you own while waiting to own a boxer
* Wedge - climbing behind someone and settling down until the boxer has pushed
the person of the chair
* Wiggle talk - words/phrases that inspire the boxer to wiggle (tone of the
voice is important here) ie "Good boy or girl" or "Lets go in the
car"
* Woo Woo - self explanatory (in case you don't know, that is when they
'talk/sing' to you 'woo woo woo wooo')
* Yoga Stretch - Butt as high as it will go .... front paws stretched in front.
* Snort - when they sound like a pig, and blow snot all over you.
* Personal Napkin - Hence person(al) napkin, once done eating they find the
closest finely dressed person to wipe their face on.
* Jackhammer - when they pounce and pounce and pounce all over you, like a
jackhammer.
* Thanks - once done wiping on their personal napkin, belch loudly in face.
* Zipping - if you have ever seen a movie where the person is running like mad,
as if the devil is chasing them, well you've never seen a boxer run after the
devil!
*Jealously - when mom and dad are hugging, you'll feel a wet nose working its
way in.
