Bella, the Deaf Boxer Formerly Known As Pinky


My story by Bella formerly Pinky My new family fostered me for a couple of weeks to see how I got on with their two other boxers Holly another female like me & a big male called Bailey, they were brother & sister & a little older than me, but they were not deaf like me. They were brindle in color not like me all white so that was different, I liked them, it was good to have someone to play around with & they had a huge back yard to run around in which was great because us boxers love running. Miss Jo had 3 children they were very happy to have me & played with me & gave me lots of love. The kids had lots of friends too so I was getting all the attention which was great, I was in heaven, there was only one more person I had to meet & win over before I was officially adopted” Mr Dave”, he had been away for the two weeks I was on “probation” for want of a better word. Well he came in around midnight & I just ran at him wagging my little stubby tail & licking him, I think he was taken back by how stocky & muscled I was for a boxer, he said afterwards to Miss Jo he thought I looked like a Pit bull!! Well our friendship continued over the next week or two & my new family decided to officially adopt me which I was very happy about. I forgot to mention that my new owners have a pool which I did fall into the first day I got there, I did manage to get out of this however rather embarrassingly & wet. Since that time I have only fell in once more. I have been getting on well although I have had a few problems with jealousy at times with my new female friend holly we have had a few fights, I don’t know if it’s her or me it happens so quick. Sometimes we all go out to the big park & meet up with lots of other dogs this is great, we get to meet many many different friends there. I have done a couple of bad things like chewing some shoes & cables; I don’t know why I just get bored when they leave me. Bailey & holly will just sleep, and then my owners look at me in a mean way when they come home & that’s when I know I’ve done bad. I also like to dig big holes in the back yard, but Mr Dave say’s he can live with that for now, but I am going to try harder to please them in the New Year.
