Pablo had his first birthday last month. A year back, I would have laughed at anyone who went out to get a cake and gifts for a dog's birthday - but I did just that. So he got a small slice of cake, a new ball, a new mat and new bowl! We've been converted by our half-breed, you see. Why a half-breed when his pedigree papers are all in order? Read this delightful poem I found that so well describes our boxer, Pablo.
They call me a Boxer,
But I'm a Half-Breed.
Part Boxer of course,
and part people indeed.
Anyone who owns me knows it's true.
We're so close to being people,
we're like part of you.
"He's one of the family,"
you've heard people say.
"Don't know how we'll manage when he passes away."
But they'll get another Boxer, a pure bred at first.
Not the most well-behaved puppy,
but far from the worst.
Then the change will take place,
the same as before.
They'll end up with the same human HALF-BREED once more!
Don't you love it, and him?

What a delightful read, Corinne!! I loved the poem. I am not a dog-lover and quite frankly, have never thought of owning a pet. But he does look adorable, C. Again, love the poem :)
Hugs,

Happy Birthday to Pablo! He's a beautiful dog. I love Boxers--the poem was precious, too.

Happy first birthday to him and when does the chewing stop!!! Thank you for being patient and finding my post, don't know what happened with it at first.
How handsome!!! And a very nice poem! At first, I wondered how he could be a half breed when he sure looked like a pure-bred! Glad you explained it! :)
