BOXER ADVENTURES

 Yesterday, after getting back from the race he had to run some errands. In addition, Petco was offering pictures with Santa as they do every year.  We went in to meet Santa and one of his elves offered to take the pictures with my phone.  After the pictures were taken I heard Santa say "Uh-oh!"  Apparently Santa when he stood up, suffered a bit of a wardrobe malfunction!! 😂😂😂😂 Now that's a unique photo with santa!

 Last year we participated in the first annual Reindeer Run put on about 30 minutes from us. I was excited to do that race because they welcomed dogs. So I was looking forward to doing it again this year.  Marc decided he didn't want to run but agreed to go with us and just hang out while we were running.  Last year it was snowing terribly but wasn't too cold.  This year snow wasn't really an issue but boy was it cold!  It was being held in a new setting this year and we went in to get registered get our number and get ready to run.  Booker again was a big hit!  He was a bit nervous with all the people especially since this year he didn't have his support dog, Sisco, by his side. But he warmed up quickly and was happy to get pets from everyone.  The race this year was supposed to go around a track for part of the race but it was covered in a thick layer of snow and I was worried about falling. Fortunately they made a last minute adjustment but tha...

 In order to fit the tree where we would like to put it in front of the window, we have to move each year the laundry basket filled with all the dogs toys.  When I got home from work tonight I see that a certain someone apparently had to do an inspection and make sure that all the toys were still in good shape after the move! 

We put the tree up yesterday.  Of course, I made the boys pose in front of it!  I'm hoping for a wonderful Christmas season and a Christmas miracle of Sisco's knee healing up! 

 Yesterday at Thanksgiving we were gifted with some dog shoes to help keep hookers feet warm and protected when he goes outside this winter. They're super nice a lot of those shoes are kind of cheap and don't stay on but these are high-end ones. And as a bonus they light up when the dog steps a lot like those shoes that people get for their kids.  So we tried them on and here's how it went:  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Booker and Sisko (@boxeradventuresny)

 Today started with super crappy weather.  I was disappointed as I wanted to get a run in with Booker.  The more tired the better as we planned to let him roam crate free for the whole day.  He's been doing really well with not trashing the place like in the past but we planned to be gone much longer than we've normally let him out.  Miraculously we got a small break in the weather and I dashed outside with him. The first half of the run was very windy and the roads were soaking wet. As we turned around and headed back large hail slash snow started to fall.  But we got in over 3 miles and I was happy about that. Felt so bad to leave Sisco at home he wants to go out so bad with us but his leg is still really bad and he certainly shouldn't be running on it. We gave them bones filled with peanut butter when we left and crossed our fingers that the place wouldn't be a disaster and we got home. We checked our pet camera a couple times while gone and could see th...

 Booker and I ran 12 miles today.  That is Booker's longest run! As you can tell, he was super impressed 😅😂 We took a different route today to add in the miles.  It brought us down some rural roads that Booker has  never been on before.  We made our way down to the village and ran on sidewalks.  It was a different experience for him and he was pretty fascinated.   It was chilly but not super cold and very sunny and there were a lot of people outside putting up their Christmas decorations.  People waved at us and Booker did get a little distracted a couple of times but generally did great! I thought our run was going to be spoiled as only 1.5 miles from home 2 neighbor dogs - both very large and obese labs came at us. One was snarling and chasing after Booker - who of course - was attached to my waist.  Fortunately they went back to their owner without any damage and we carried on.   Next stop?  A 1/2 marathon run!!
