The humans are going away for a couple weeks and I will be staying with my grandma and grandpa. I'll tell you about all my adventures when I (and my parents) return home!

Five Weird Things About Me
The Dachsies tagged me with a meme called "Five Weird Things About Me".
The player of this game starts with "5 weird things/habits about yourself." Then you tag 5 friends and list their names. The furries who get tagged need to write on their blogs about their 5 weird things/habits, as well as state this rule clearly, then tag 5 more victims. Don't forget to leave your victim a comment that says "you're tagged!" in their comments and tell them to read your blog.
Here is my meme:
- When my parents give me a treat or a cookie, I bat it around like a hockey puck. I also love hiding them underneath the pillows of the couch. While I may not eat the treat right away, I keep it saved for a midnight snack.
- I hate water. But I'll jump into the bathtub if my parents have the tub filled with warm water and soapy bubbles. I like to be clean.
- Sometimes I am afraid to walk down the carpeted stairs and step on the wood floor. Because my nails are long I lose my footing on the wood floor and scatter around. Daddy calls it "Scooby Doo" and he laughs!
- During the winter I sleep at the foot of my parents bed underneath three layers of covers. Somehow I manage to breath through a sheet, blanket AND down comforter. In the summer I sleep on the floor because it is too hot.
- Even though I'm a spayed female, I like to hump my Mom or Dad's legs before I sleep. At first Daddy used to get mad at me, but now he just laughs when I do it, because I make a funny face.
I will tag Cassidy, Bella, Ellie, Delilah and Brody.

Sniff Sniff
By this time I was quite tired and out of breath. Cassidy was able to get close and sniff me while I lied down on the cool grass.

Cairo Meets Cassidy
On Saturday morning I met Cassidy. She is ten weeks old, and quite spunky. I'll be posting pictures of our encounter soon, but here is a video for now...

There's A New Boxer In Town...
Go say hello to Cassidy. My mommy met Cassidy and her parents at Fashion Island. It turns out they live only a few blocks away from our house. Hopefully we'll get to play really soon. I can't wait to teach a baby Boxer some of my favorite tricks.

Summer Evening in the Park
Yesterday Mommy and Daddy walked me to our favorite park. You know, the one where Daddy chases the soccer ball around the field like a crazy person while I always manage to steal it from him.
While we were playing Mommy spotted the parents of my Boxer friend Ruger. They were playing baseball at the park but Ruger was not with them. Ruger's Dad walked back to their house to get my buddy and after a few minutes Ruger had arrived. We immediately joined together in the Boxer shuffle and displayed some depth-defying acrobatics. We soon grew tired and headed to the water fountain for a drink.
Ruger showed me how it was done.
He is a lot taller than me. I'm a mini-Boxer! I could barely reach the fountain.
That's me, the 45 lb Boxer runt. So they cupped the water in their hands and I was able to quench my thirst.

Cairo and Maddie Wrap-Up
two Boxers have thoughts...
I've an idea. Let's yank Mommy's bag off the bed and take it for a spin!
Next time don't eat garlic pizza before we make out!
Ok, tomorrow let's try to drive these humans even crazier than today...

Boxer Pool Party
Maddie and I have been having a blast running around the house, bugging the humans and barking at every single noise we hear outside!
This afternoon Mommy filled up my pool. I don't enjoy going inside but Maddie had a blast. They threw a rubber Kong toy in the water and Maddie splashed and splashed and splashed...
Here's part one of our pool party:
The pool party came to a quick end, as you can see in part two:
I don't really mind that the pool has been destroyed. I never liked it anyways.

My House Guest
My Boxer friend Maddie is going to be staying with us this week...and what a fun week it is going to be! Her parents are on vacation so she doesn't go back home until next Friday. Here I am (left) trying to lick her.
Maddie wanted to use the computer, but we couldn't figure out which buttons to push.
So we were content in running around the house.

The Tao of Puppies
Ground control to Major Cairo...
From high atop his North Pole lair, Zach put out the call for puppy picture week.
Here's a post from last year which tells "my story".
And click here for an exclusive CairoTheBoxer puppy slideshow!

The Dog Days of Summer
I don't know if it's global warming or the radiation from the nuclear power plant forty miles south, but it is damn hot here in Southern California. We've taken extraordinary measures to stay cool.
The pool thing didn't work well--I'm afraid of water--so I stay inside all day with fans and air conditioning, and then I walk and play soccer with Daddy after sundown. Also, I've become highly skilled at catching flies in the house. I can stop a rogue fly with a quick Boxer judo chop!
Here I am waiting contently while my parents fix me a meal...
I got lucky--they gave me wet food by Nutro. I'm not a fan of the hard kibble.
And what better way to finish off a meal than with an ice cold beer...
Daddy lets me sniff it, that's all.
Hope you're staying cool.

Summertime
And the living is easy...
That's me at the Huntington Dog Beach last summer. I hope we go back this summer. I was still a puppy back then, and was a bit afraid of the waves. But now I'm a teenage Boxer and brave enough to face the surf.
What are your favorite summer activities?
