Another Angel has been taken from us far too soon :( I was doing fine reading your post until I realized how old he was. I am so very sorry.
Godspeed Gunnar
Remember he will always be around you
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, you found it hard to sleep.
I snuffled to you softly as you brushed away a tear.
"It's me. I haven't left you. I'm well. I'm fine. I'm here"
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea.
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today, your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels - I wished I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, you tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you toward the house as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "It's me".
You looked so very tired and sank into a chair.
I tried so very hard to let you know that I was there.
It's possible for me to be so near you every day,
to say to you with certainty "I never went away".
You sat there very quietly, then smiled. I think you knew,
in the stillness of the evening, I was very close to you.
When the day is over, I smile and watch you yawning,
and say "Goodnight, God bless. I'll see you in the morning".
When the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand there, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out, then come home
to be with me.
Godspeed Gunnar

I am so very sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family.
It is so hard to lose them when they are so young. It seem so unfair. We lost our Zeus when he was just 1 year, after struggling with various health issues. Know that you did absolutely everything you could, and you gave him such a wonderful life in his short time here.
Try to remember all the fun and silly memories that you have, and keep them in your heart always.
Know that Gunner is now at the Bridge, running and playing with all of our boxers. And he will wait for you there.........
Godspeed Gunner.

Completely Boxer Crazy
Oh my goodness...I am so sad to hear about little Gunnar... I can barely see the screen right now... You all did everything you could. Isn't in incredible how in just a short amount of time, we love so fully and freely and are never quite the same... Please, PLEASE contact me if you need anything. You know we (anyone here in the rescue) will do anything we can to help you through this difficult time. I'm thinking of you and praying for your family through this horribly sad time.
Hugs...

I am shocked & saddened by your post. I never imagined I would find a post about Gunnar here. I am so very sorry for your families loss. I also have young boys and we unfortunately have gone through some loss in the last year and a half (my brother, cousin & boston terrier Bluto). I know that we talked often about our loved ones and now even my 6 year old will tell me that as long as the memory lives in your heart they are never really gone. God bless you & your family, I will keep all of you in my prayers.

I am so very sorry for your loss of your baby Gunnar. What a heartbreaking story… I lost my Finley when he was just a baby and I know he (and everyone else’s babies) greeted Gunnar and they are being their typical crazy boxer selves. I will light a candle for him tonight and you are in my thoughts.

I am deeply sorry to hear of your loss. I haven't really been on for the past few weeks since my hard drive crashed and this is difficult news to come back to. My heart goes out to you & your family during this difficult time. Please accept my heartfelt sympathies. Godspeed sweet Gunnar.
Little Gunnar
I had been following your posts - but was away for a few weeks - so tonight when I logged in & read the RB posts, I couldn't believe it. You had such a beautiful wee boy - and my heart goes out to & your family. I will definitely give my gang extra hugs tonight, from you, in honour of Gunnar, your handsome little man.

Thanks again to everyone who has been so kind and supportive. My family will always miss Gunnar, our sweet angel. We're now beginning to remember him with smiles instead of tears. He deserves to remembered with happiness and joy as that is what he gave us. He was our first boxer and taught us so much, especially that our lives will not be complete without a boxer in the family. We all have faith that the time will come for that to happen. With much appreciation for your kindness.
