    Poor guy - it's time for mom and dad to get him some prostetics so he doesn't wind up 3 years old with coronary problems.

    What a sweetheart. Boxers are my breed. I'd have taken him in in a second.

    Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

      It might be easier with a cart as he gets older/bigger - but he doesn't seem to be looking for easy. It's all he knows - and he seems to be getting around just fine.

      His balance is great - he's turning that big head to look at things as he runs without missing a step. Most of a boxer's weight is in his chest and head so he can walk like a people.

      Dear April: I don't want any trouble from you.
      January was long, February was iffy, March was a freaking dumpster fire.
      So sit down, be quiet, and don't touch anything.

    Yeah, while he's young he can. It's not a natural position for his body though, and he's going to need something more naturally supportive before too long.
