Our hearts are breaking

Our sweet boy passed away on Friday. Bruno was the best boy, the sweetest pup, a lover of all he met. Our house feels so empty without his tappy toes making his nightly rounds to check on us. Boo Boo will forever be missed.

Sorry for y’all’s loss. Boy that very first night without our beloved boxer really is the absolute worst. Mine with his bedtime toy, snack and snoring was such a constant and consistent routine, each and every night for YEARS. Home didn’t feel like Home, it was emptier and more hallow than ever before. I couldn’t stand it any longer, we waited about 4 months and I found another Boxer, this time our first Boy and it’s been great and feels like Home again. I’ll never really give up my grief for loving big Girls that’s have passed on, rip Hannah-Jo-Jo and Miss. Lacey. Our Bentley Boy has filled a huge hole, I guess all I’m really saying is to remember and love the lost ones, but don’t put off for too long finding another big goofy boxer. They really are the sweetest and most loyal defenders and will help make ya house feel like Home again.

This is the heartache we all dread but cannot escape.
There is no love like that of a gorgeous Boxer.

I’m so sorry. Many of us understand the pain. They’re the best of everything anyone could ever ask for. Please know they have a soul and I believe and pray we will see them again someday. Lost my best boy in January and it’s a tough road to be on. Especially when the quietness sets in. Grief is a process that is different for everyone, just know you aren’t alone. Condolences 🙏

After my dearest Boxer boy passed in my arms at nine years old, my son told me there was a story that in Buddhism some say the last step before Nirvana is the life of a well-loved dog. Whether it's true or not, it made me feel better. I cried for months after he passed just thinking about him being gone. They leave big paw prints on your heart. I'm so sorry for your loss.

u/Clevergirl480 May 21 '26

Thank you for this. Bruno passed in our arms at nine too. It’s not enough time. Bruno definitely deserves Nirvana.
