Winchester

[Julie P.]

Have any of you been able to have such a strong bond with another boxer? I love my baby girl (Remington) but Winchester and I had such a strong bond.

I love your question because it is so very true for me. The bond I had with Magic was so strong. Magic and I worked in harmony together; we had a special rhythm as we shared our life together. After she passed away, I got Deeg. As first, I thought I had made a mistake to get him so soon after I lost Magic. Now I see it was a smart thing to do as he has helped me through my grieving process with his crazy boxer tactics. Deeg was an unruly teenager. He came from a boxer rescue straight to our home. He had very little training and tested us to the hilt. It took some time but Deeg and I now have our own special bond. Our bond is diffrent than what Magic and I had, and for that, I am so grateful. What I love most about Magic and Deeg is looking deep into their eyes. Both of them look back at me in a way that tells me we are truly bonded. I have had other pets in my past and have never felt this type of bond before. I feel so disappointed in Magic's death as I thought for sure I'd still feel our bond even if her physical body wasn't with me...but I don't. I miss her so much.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your good friend; I know it is so hard. I wish things could be different for you and your Winchester. I had 4 months to say good-bye to Magic and it still wasn't enough time. I can't even imagine how you must be feeling to have lost Winchester so suddenly. Please know that my tears and thoughts are with you.

Magic, please give Winchester lots of boxer loves and kisses.

Strong bond yes, but different. My first boxer was not a snuggly kind of guy, but he was so protective and used to sleep in my room every night and watch over me. He would jog anywhere with me and I could tak to him without him getting bored.

My 2nd boxer baby was with me for 12 years and he was my favorite. Very snuggly and sweet. I felt an immediate bond with him when we went to pick him up. There was another boxer puppy we were promised and he was perfect...then there was Rocky! Rocky had legs too long for his body, a huge conehead and no coordination whatsoever! I loved him. I had also lost a very dear cousin in a drunk driving accident on May 17, 1989. Rocky's birthday was May 17, 1989! I took it as a sign. He was the love of my life.

My 3rd boxer girl was rescued and white & deaf. I only had her a short time. She passed away from cardiomyopathy. But she worked her magic over me in a big way! This girl was very mistreated & neglected and was starved for affection. She would sleep with my son and try to curl up in my lap to rock in the chair. My heart broke when we lost her.

Rocky III my current baby is 1 yr old and he is also a snuggler. There are so many things about him I love. He completely owns my heart.

I know I will never again in my life be without a boxer.
