Default Boxies

The first time I have seen my boxie enjoying the water.

Great pics Sandy. It must be the extension they had has given them the feeling of needing to showoff the swimming pool

I have had my boxies for three years now. A big learning curve, but with help of others
I am getting there.
Since I revamped the enclosure, I cant believe the change in them. One is still a little shy
but the one in the pool (Fudge I think) is a real show off now<g>.

Sandy excellent picture and showing that boxies do have a true character and are not the secretive shy turtles people think they are excellent as said.
