Friday night after school was money collection night. Yeah.
Then a couple of years of going life and death with psychopathic Alsatians half a dozen times a week Dobermans came to Sunderland and everybody started getting them instead. Ever looked at a Doberman close up? It's an eighty pound missile shaped body on fucking fast legs and just a gigantic set of teeth at the business end. Basically an efficient transportation system for a big set of gnashers.
I have very few visible scars from this period of my life considering. Just a few small ones on my fingers and a couple of clamp marks on my arms that you have to really look for to see. I've got boxer dogs now and they're just not interested in biting you. You can take food out of their mouths, pull their tongue out of their mouths to stuff pills down their throats, drag them away from their food bowls by their tails when they're eating and they just look at you. They are very good at guarding stuff though. I'm pretty sure they'd bite the fuck out of any burglars.
I love boxers. Do you spar with them? Mine loved it,I miss one still even after nearly 20 years. Got pugaliers now they came out like miniature red boxers.
I spar with them all the time. I get on with the dogs much better than humans. If I get on my knees and wrestle them they start chewing my ears and my neck and they get the ends of my trouser legs and sleeves and try and pull me over. Fantastic fun.
What kind of health problems do those pugaliers have? My mother wants a pug but they have tons of health problems so I've heard.
