Well, I'll tell ya Ince Boy.... once you've had boxer love, it's pretty hard to live without!
After our first boxer Rocky passed on, my husband said "I can't go thru that again" (the pain of the letting him go). After a few weeks of such emptiness in the house, and a huge void in our heart, I told him that his heart was meant to love boxers, so why not give another boxer a good home? He agreed.
We now have Brody, and our world revolves around that boy!
He could never replace Rocky - no one could. Just as no one could replace Brody.
It gives us peace of mind to know we'll be with Rocky again someday. We truly believe that.

I am someone that lost my first boxer October 2000. She was our child also (like you my husband and I do not have any skin kids) It tore through me like a cold sword the day I heard the word cancer come from the veterinarians mouth. I watch my baby slip away from me over a few day period but made every effort to console her and let her know that we were there for her and loving her every step of the way. Her last day on this earth sticks with and I belief it always will. My husband had gone out of town (a thing I still to this day do not forgive him for) She was not doing well from her surgery and I placed a call to the vet regarding leakage from the incision. I took her outside for her potty break and she wondered over to the gate to the back yard. A place she loved to be. I opened it and she just stood there looking at the yard as I if she knew it would be the last time. The next morning I woke up to find her in distress by the time I got her into the car and 1/4 mile up the road she died in my arms.
Will you ever get over the loss of you boxer baby? No. Will you love again? Hopefully yes. I can not imagine my life without the love and endearing eyes of a boxer. For now love and spoil your little one and give him lots of boxers kisses from us across the big pond!

Ever heard the old saying "Walk a mile in his shoes?" I didn't think I could ever have another dog when Tyson died from cancer. (It sure seems like cancer takes a lot of our Boxers...) But, after a couple of months of hurting, crying, silence in the house, no Boxer kisses, no feeling of security because he was a great guard dog, etc, I couldn't take any more, I wanted another dog! I ended up with two babies! I didn't consider a brindle, Tyson was brindle and I didn't think I could handle seeing a dog that looked so much like him. I got a fawn female and a white male. I don't love them as much as I did Tyson, BUT, after they have lived and loved with me for ten years, I am sure I will! They have their own space in my heart. It doesn't take anything away from the love I had and have for Tyson, but it makes it easier to bear his passing and I can at least now talk about him without crying my eyes out. They helped heal my grief. Tyson, Mac, and Jazz have completely different personalities, and I am glad they are/was mine!

A new boxer will never replace a lost one. Who would even try! But to never have a boxer in my home would be like living alone on a desert island. How empty would my life be without 1, 2 ,3 or more! Yes ,its hurts like hell when we lose something so precious and dear, Yes you feel like you will never get over the agony and grief. But my other boxers give me comfort in my sadness, and renew my faith in love. To quote a famous saying "It is better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all"
