Greg, you were blessed
Greg, how wonderful that you were kind enough to care for your Dad's beloved pet, Punches after his passing...as you stated, at first you felt that Punches may turn out to be more of an obligatory relationship than a welcomed one!!! What a blessing she added to your life...an extention of your father's love for a few more years... your life was so enriched by this precious Boxer, I lost one of my babies in July...she began with "Horners Syndrome", progressed to grand mal seizures and when she was conscious of her surroundings, she would look me in the eyes as if to say, "Please help me, Mamma"...with a referral from our vet, we took her to the Vet school at NC State...an MRI showed a massive brain tumor...She is now at Rainbow Bridge patiently waiting for me to cross over...I will enjoy her kisses and her company for eternity....just as in time you will see your Punches and dance with her...
I hope it will help you to know that I share your grief...but we are both truly better souls by having our babies to show us just exactly what unconditional love is...I continue to feel it daily as I am sure you do...
Take care and when you read this, look toward the sky and say hi to my Ginger when you send your love to Punches.

Greg,
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.... Take comfort in the relationship you had with Punches and the joy you brought to one another's lives. You are both better to have known one another than you would have been without each other. It's so sad that her time with you was short, but I am sure she loved every second of time that she did have.
Once you have loved a Boxer, you will always love the breed. One of the people on here questioned getting another Boxer after they had lost theirs, but came to the conclusion that the joy they bring to your lives is worth the pain you deal with when you lose one. They truly are incomparable creatures.

I'm sure not alone
It appears that us boxer lovers share a very close link...our babies. Its been about a week since I lost mine and I can actually think of her now and smile instead of breaking down. I guess that's whats called healing. I will get another for sure and I'll just let her pick me.....thats what they do anyway..right? I did say a prayer to Punches and all those boxer friends who one day will be with us again!

Your story and all the posts after it have me in tears here. I am so sorry for all of you. My two Boxers are my first and they are very young. We've been through a lot together, a couple of times life threatening things and I cannot even imagine losing them and I've had them only 9 months and 6 months. My heart goes out to each of you. It must be excruciating to deal with. I will say that I dread those moments beyond words but at the same time, cannot imagine having missed out on the love of my Boxers. It seems that many people get another one after their tragic losses and I can certainly understand that. My very best wishes with your decision, Greg, and I hope that if you do get another Boxer to love, you let us all know and send us some smiles with your posts. Karen
Thanks Karen
When I do get my next baby, I'd think that I would do something different to avoid what I went through, but I loved her as much as I could, she knew it, and I know we're supposed to think that "shes in a better place"......if doggie heaven is better than how she had it on Earth.....wow. I'll just adopt one of her sisters and make her just as lucky as Punches was. I almost wished that there was a warning, but she didn't suffer a bit......I am though!
