Hey hooman friends! Jonah here. 🐾 Newsletter mascot. Full-time tail-chaser. Occasional zoomie hurricane. Expert in doggy chaos and all things CBR.
So… apparently Carolina Boxer Rescue has been around for 25 YEARS. That’s like… a bazillion belly rubs and snack breaks ago. I tried to dig up the history, but all I found were humans saying, “Yes! We’ll help that boxer!” and then panicking about spreadsheets. Honestly, sounds familiar.
Quirks? Oh, I’ve got a list.
Boxers are… let’s just say special. Some of us:
- Bounce off walls like we’re powered by pure peanut butter.
- Chase our own nubs until gravity says, “Really, bro?”
- Zoomie for no reason. At 3 a.m. Especially on vet nights.
- Forget commands exist. “Sit?” What’s that?
The humans? Bless them. They survive spilled water, shredded blankets, mystery smells, and the occasional “oops, that was the couch” incident. I think they secretly love it… maybe.
Wins! Big, small, and hilarious
Adoptions! Health milestones! Transport victories! And yes, sometimes just surviving a foster’s first night without a chew-toy massacre counts as a win.
Every dog who gets a second chance? Tail wag. Every human who volunteers? Extra zoomies in gratitude. Every foster who makes it through paperwork without crying? Snack for me. Win-win-win.
Lessons from the Spaz Pack
Over 25 years, I’ve learned:
- Snacks make everything better.
- Chaos is mandatory.
- Zoomies are sacred.
- Humans are weird but lovable.
- Every boxer deserves a second chance (duh).
Even with all the mayhem, the humans at CBR keep saying yes. Yes to the boxers with quirks. Yes to the ones who chew shoes. Yes to the ones who snore louder than a freight train.
Looking Forward: More Zoomies, Less Calm
What’s next? More tail-chasing. More slobber. More love. More boxers finding homes. And yes… more humans learning that when a boxer runs like a tiny tornado, it’s actually a spiritual experience.
So here’s to the next 25 years of:
- Nub chasing
- Zoomies in every direction
- Sneaky sock thefts
- Belly rubs and kisses
- Saving more boxers than I have paws
Filed carefully. Approved by humans. Paw-signed by me. Possibly drooled on. Always chaotic. Forever happy.
