We love you Boxer!

In loving memory of our Boxer who we love so much.

Boxer was born in June 1997.  Our mom was out yard sale shopping one hot summer day when she was approached by a little girl name Lilly.  Lilly asked if my mom wanted to see her puppies.  Mom went to see all the puppies and their momma.  Some had short hair, some had long and some had frizzy.  Boxer was the cutest of them all.  We bought him for $10 and it was the best $10 ever spent!

Boxer was diagnosed with Cancer in March 2008.  He went through alot but was always a fighter and great dog.  We loved him so much and hated to see him in pain.  He made our hearts melt by scratching at his face like he was a little puppy, waiting at the window wagging his tail, snuggling up with us under the covers or just laying in the sun.  Boxer will be greatly missed and be in our hearts forever. Thanks for bringing so much joy into our lives!

Rainbow Bridge Poem

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
