Boxer Angel Memorial
As you can see, it does not matter how much time goes by after a canine family member leaves us....We always remember as if it were just yesterday...

Bridgette  
Born 11/25/2000
Died 10/26/2010

EVERYONE, PLEASE READ:
 
This is Bridgette, the greatest Boxer who ever lived! We had some nicknames for her:  “Baby”; “Miss Silly”; and “Fluffy”. She loved us so much, and we loved her. She was “Queen of the household”. We still can’t believe she’s gone. She just began aging so rapidly and went steadily downhill. She couldn’t even walk without practically falling over. The vet thinks she had at least one stroke, maybe more.

~ So, we did what we thought was the humane thing, and on the recommendation of our vet...based on loss of quality of life. We still “look” for her when we return home....almost expecting that jubilant greeting awaiting us on the other side of the door. We could write a tome about her...maybe we will someday...someday when we can talk about her without getting all choked up. Right now, we just want everyone to know what a great dog she was! She was the greatest boxer, friend, companion on all the earth. We can’t wait to see her again, in Heaven...where God provides us with all our great gifts. (Don’t worry, Bridgette, girl...we’ll bring Woof-Woof, Mr. Quackers, and Black Bone to you. We miss you, Baby!  ~ Love, Mommy and Daddy)

Brutus
5-26-2010 to 2-17-2011

Our beloved Brutus was put down today 2-17-2011 due to Boxer Cardiomyopathy. He was almost 9 months old, we are truly devastated. Brutus was born 5-26-2010 and was deeply loved by his owners Bruce, Toni, Morgan, Jade and of course grandma Jean. He was our family, friend, shadow and truly OUR beast of the field.

We are truly Blessed with many great memory's of our beloved Brutus. From the time we brought him home till the time he passed away in my arms. The only peace was knowing how much as a family WE LOVED him and could not see him continue to suffer. We know he is in a better place and not suffering and we know we will see him again. As we said daily in our home Bru-ty Bru, WE LOVE U!

Jenna
DOB 7/26/1998  DOD 2/4/2011

We lost our beloved Jenna  aka Jennagirl on 2/4/11. I cannot find the words to describe the loss we are feeling. We were truly blessed to have had her in our lives as long as we did. Just five months shy of thirteen wonderful years with our forever puppy. She was diagnosed with liver/kidney failure in December and just went down hill since. Our hearts are broken and our home will never be the same. I want to thank her for choosing us the day we met and allowing us the privilege of loving her and calling her family. She was an amazing, loving dog and taught me the true meaning of unconditional love. Jenna, we will miss you until the day we meet at Rainbow Bridge.
~ Love Always, Mommy, Daddy & Briana

Buddy Ormsby
2/25/06 - 4/13/10

Nine months ago our boy went to live a peaceful, pain-free, beautiful life. Buddy was diagnosed with lymphoma in February 2010. He was one of our precious baby boys, just the best dog one could ask for.  Letting a family member go is one of the hardest obstacles to go through and we thank the Lord for supplying us with the signs to know when it was time so our boy wasn’t suffering. We will forever remember you and love you Buddy. You will always be in our hearts and we will see each other again.

HEAVEN'S DOGGY-DOOR
My best friend closed his eyes last
night, As his head was in my hand.
The Doctors said he was in pain,
And it was hard for him to stand.
The thoughts that scurried through
my head, As I cradled him in my arms.
Were of his younger, puppy years,
And OH...his many charms.
Today, there was no gentle nudge
With an intense "I love you gaze",
Only a heart thats filled with tears
Remembering our joy filled days.
But an Angel just appeared to me,
And he said, "You should cry no more,
GOD also loves our canine friends,
HE's installed a 'doggy-door"!

Sasha
Born: Oct 31, 1997
Passed Away:  December 1, 2010

Sasha was such a good girl.  "Sasha Baby" as her loved ones called her put a smile on everyone's face with her really long tongue and the way she shook her booty-the way most boxers do.  She loved to play with a deflated basket ball.  She would shake it, shake it, shake it, every time you told her to!  Even when all of her black hairs turned gray, she still acted so young.  She took very good care of Grandma Sadie and will continue to do so in spirit!  We all love you Sasha!  Be nice to LaVern (your best boxer friend) when you see her in heaven!  ~

Felix
August 7, 1999 to September 10, 2010

As for all Boxer owners, our dog Felix was a special little guy with his own shy but very loving personality. He lived a long and healthy life with many adventures he shared with us and his boxer brother Oskar. After being diagnosed with an insulinoma (a tumor in his pancreas) in July, we were able to bring him home and he miraculously lived with us comfortably there for another 2 months. We are so grateful for this time. We and his brother miss him terribly but will always have our joyous memories of this silly and sensitive little guy to fill our thoughts.

Moochie
8/22/2000-8/24/2010

Our baby boy Moochie passed away two days after his 10th birthday. He had been suffering from hip problems and a neurological problem in his hind legs for the past year. He could hardly walk for the past few months. We miss him dearly. There is a feeling of emptiness without him. He brought us so much happiness and LOVE! He will forever be in out hearts. Love you "poopie baby".

Duke
This is Duke...he was sadly taken away from our family last year on the road. Duke was a very special member of our family. His mother contracted a liver disease  when the litter was born her milk went bad. We had no choice but to feed the puppies like babies with bottles and nipples. We continued this for 8 weeks and grew very fond of our babies, especially Duke. He grew to 2 years old before going to Heaven. No one will ever replace the hole that has been left in our hearts and family...but we are trying hard to move on. We have been raising another Boxer which we bought at 7 weeks old. His name is Gunner and he is also a great part of our family...but he's no Duke.

Fozzy Bear
8/28/03 - 7/23/10

Our special boy died suddenly leaving our family with an empty hole.  Fozzy will be forever with us in our hearts!  We miss him terribly!

Betsy
Feb. 1995 - June 23, 2009

It was love at first sight when my parents took me to pick Betsy up. She was 7 weeks old & very shy. Because I was a wall flower growing up, Betsy became my best friend. She was there when I was lonely, sick and hurt. From my first date to my wedding day she was around for me to love, brag about and cuddle. Always a big protector, she never let a stranger bring harm to me or my loved ones, yet she was gentle enough for the youngest of visitors to enjoy. She stayed a playful puppy until the last few months of her life when she developed a brain tumor. After that development, she aged quickly. It broke my heart to see her suffering, but even when she suffered, she managed to have deep love and wisdom shining in her eyes. When I see her in my dreams, she's vibrant, healthy and her energy knows no bounds. I know that God has her in His arms waiting for me. Her rest now is temporary and I look forward to seeing her again. I thank God that He sent that beautiful blessing to me.

Daisy
4/12/2000 - 5/1/2010

We adopted Daisy from Northwoods Boxer Rescue in 2002. She lived with 2 other families before she came into our lives. We knew when we saw her expressive brown eyes that we'd be hers. She was inseparable from me, my husband, and her younger Boxer brother Duke. Daisy had spots on her ears and she would wag her tail for us when we clapped our hands. She was deaf and knew signs for shake, sit, who's at the door, stop bark, potty, walk, and  "How did the garbage get on the floor?" We would point at the garbage and that is all we could do...it was our fault if we forgot to latch the tot lock.

Daisy loved to ride in the Jeep, hike, camp, snuggle on movie night, burrow under the covers, bark at 9:00, goose Grandma, sit in a chair at the campfire, pick out her own treats at the pet store after she carefully sniffed each bin, eat popcorn, and help her momma plant flowers. She was really a daddy's girl.

Daisy died from lymphosarcoma. We were praying that chemo treatments would give her comfort to camp one more summer. Her organs started to fail and we had to face the inevitable. Our princess needed peace and rest.

We will miss her dearly.

Lady
 RIP 2002/02/09 - 2009/10/26

My Lady was less than 8 yrs old when I lost her.   She got sick and the vets could not determine what was wrong with her.   She was such a great dog.  When she was born she was the one who made the most noise and barked the most.  Growing up she didn't bark and was the friendliest dog ever.  She was beautiful.  When the vets could not determine what was wrong but were able to take 3500$from us in a few months,  we decided for her health and well being,  we would put her down to be out of pain.  She was not a dog she was a human as she did act like one a lot. She is truly missed by us both. ~ Nat C.

CLIO
8-19-2005 to 3-26-2010

This is our much loved boxer Clio who we had to put to sleep at the tender age of 4.  After feeling unwell for a few days we took her to the vets and an X-ray showed she had lots of arthritis in her hind legs and spine.   I've lost my best friend and we will never forget you my babygirl, sweet dreams...  till we meet again XXXX  Paul , Janine and Callum


Trash Can
June 23, 2009 born
November 15, 2010 passed

Trash Can came to us as a gift from God and in the short time we had him he filled our hearts with love.  His pranks and his joy of life brought happiness and laughter to our home.  He will always be missed.

TYSON
6-16-2007 to 1-13-2010

I would like to pay a tribute to my eldest boxer TYSON. He was born on 16-6-2007 and sadly passed away on 13-1-2010.  Tyson was a great dog, very obedient.Very well mannered,and well loved.He was the eldest out of the 3 that I did have, but the best overall.4 days before he passed away he caught a bug, that caused pancreatis and liver damage....And was told after blood tests it was lepto.  He only lasted 4 days despite all the efforts that were made to make him better.he passed away in his sleep. Where he is buried is overlooking our home , but in a distance, he will be sadly missed and truly never forgotten. CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU AGAIN BOY,MISS YOU LOADS XXX LOVE YOUR FAMILY SARAH,MICHAEL AND SHANICE,AND YOUR TWO BEST FRIENDS ROXY AND PRINCE.

Miss Chelsea Brown
01/03/99 - 03/22/10

In the 11 years that she spent with us, she left us with so many memories. She loved playing hide-and-seek and even though she was 60 pounds, she always preferred small stuffed animals over the big ones. She quickly figured out how to open doors and would often surprise me by opening my bedroom door when I was in there! In her eyes, other dogs were never her kind of playmate…children were. Prior to her getting sick, she never once showed it in her behavior. Right until her last day she still managed to have a bit of spunk in her walk. I think that’s what made it so hard to let her go. Chelsea took her last car ride and had her last visit at the vets on March 22nd, 2010. Even though the memories may fade over time, the love for her will remain in our hearts forever.
 
R.I.P our brave, beautiful little girl and thanks for all the happiness, joy and memories you shared with us.

Bella
Date of death: November 11,2010

Heaven took her too early, too soon, still not knowing the exact cause of her death.She was my shadow, my best friend, a family member, and my other half. She will always be remembered by myself and family.

Frank
Passed November 30, 2010

Frank passed away November 30, 2010.  He was our boy for only 2 months.  We took him in knowing that he was considered terminal due to his violent seizures.  We fell in love with him immediately and at first he seemed to be doing so well, we thought maybe he would be with us a while but it was not meant to be.  We miss our big boy very much.  xoxox  ~  Nancy

Brutus
Passed on July 1, 2010

This is a photo of Brutus the last evening he spent with us.  After discovering cancer  in December 2009  and after several surgeries, Brutus was just too tired and sick to go on.  Brutus left us on July 1, 2010.  He was approximately 10 years old, and we had the honor of having him with us for 8 of those precious years.  He was a best friend and absolutely the best dog a person could wish for.  His is missed every day and we are now going to honor him by getting a new boxer puppy in a few weeks.  Had we not been so fulfilled by having Brutus in our lives, we never would have considered getting another pet.  But after having him and loving him as we did, we are now so in love with the breed, that we can't imagine not sharing the wonderful personality of a Boxer going forward with our family.  We will always love Brutus and we miss him!

SPYKE
Born 14th September 2001
Died: 8th August 2010

IN MEMORY OF SPYKE
Spyke was an adoring member of our family. Loved by all. Above all he loved us all very dear;y. We miss him a lot. He was taken away from us in 72 hours of sudden breathing problems. In the last 72 hours we discovered he had an enlarged heart and a respiration complication. Possibly undetected cancer. But he was SO GREAT, he never let us know he was unwell. He quietly went away when it was time to go. We will never forget the 9 years of happiness and joy he gave us. I know he misses us more than we do.

Passed April 1, 2010
(Almost 10 Years old)

Gunther was the gentlest, sweetest most loyal and protective creature I've ever had the pleasure of gracing my life.  He was there through the happiest and saddest days, like a rock.  It breaks my heart he had to go, but all the memories will forever stay with me.  This picture was taken 6 months before he passed in his sleep.  I miss you so much.  Thanks for choosing me to spend your life with, you are very loved. ~ Lysa

Lucky
March 3, 2010
Our boxer's name is Lucky. We aren't sure how old she was when she passed due to the fact that we found her dumped out in the county severely malnourished, and scared. It was very obvious to see that she had been very poorly cared for and severely over-bred. We brought her in, rehabilitated her, and were blessed to have her in our lives for 9months. She tragically passed away March 3, 2010 after a careless Veterinarian and his staff completed a simple spay procedure. They failed to tell me that she was in heat and that this surgery is extremely risky due to swollen female parts and all the blood flow to those areas. She lived less than 14 hours after surgery and was taken by internal hemorrhaging. I grew up with a few boxers and they were by far the best dogs I'd ever owned, but my boyfriend had never had a large breed dog. Lucky was able to show him the loving, loyal, goofy as heck personality of this breed. He has now completely fallen in love with the breed. She loved us beyond belief. We love her and she will always hold a special place in our hearts. I truly believe that while waiting for us in heaven, our pets find their own special way of being around us and showing us they are. We recently adopted another boxer puppy, and we know that our "Lucky Lady" is with us each and everyday through Zeva.

Miss Katie

This is a photo of our beloved, and greatly missed, Boxer, Miss Katie.  Our other Boxer, Miss Molly, is in the photo with her.  Katie is the older Boxer on the right.

Katie was my shadow; she was with me every where I went, every day.  She is incredibly loved and missed more every day.  Katie was the best Boxer that I've ever had and I can not wait to see her again some day.  Katie died of cancer just one week before her 12th birthday. ~ Holly Bruser

Rex
RIP 9/25/03 - 9/15/08

Rexxie had not turned 5 yet when he was diagnosed with bone cancer. The ugly word is Chondrosarcoma. Rex was my baby. He was so athletic, lovable, fun and stately. He was tireless. I did everything I could to save him. I had his leg amputated and all the allowed chemo treatments and medication. I was so hopeful and he was doing well. Until one morning he could not get up, the vet said in an instant the cancer must have invaded his. The vet suggested to put him to sleep. There is not a day that does not go by which I do not think of him. He best buddy was my other boxer Izzie and a race horse named Last Emperor. He loved that horse so! Rexxie I miss you so much and thank you for all the great memories.
