B&B Boxers

This poem was wrote for my boxer Dixie she is about 10 years old now. Dixie is the reason I fell in LOVE with the boxer breed ! I rescued her from our local kill shelter here in Lorain, Ohio that was about 7 years ago, since then we have purchased our male & female to breed because we want others to be as happy with the boxer as we are !!!!!

                                                                            "THE RAINBOW BRIDGE"

                         There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth, it is called the Rainbow Bridge, because of it's many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass. When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water, and warm spring weather.

                                                                           The old and frail animals are made young again.                                                                          

                                                                           Those who are maimed are made whole again.

                                                                                  They play all day with each other.

                   There is only one thhing missing; they are not with their special person who loved them so much. So, each day they run and play until the day comes when one of them suddenly stops and looks up.

                                                                                        The nose twitches ~

                                                                                         The ears are up ~

                                                                                         The eyes are staring ~

                                                                            And this one suddenly runs from the group !

                    You have been seen !!! And when you and your specail friend meet, you take your specail friend into your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and again, and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.

                                                     Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together ~ never again to be separated !

                                            THERE WILL BE A HOLE IN MY SOLE WHERE DIXIE USED TO BE IF THE LORD EVER TAKES HER FAR AWAY FROM ME !

                                               THE RAINBOW BRIDGE OF MANY COLORS, AS WONDERFUL AS IT MAY BE CAN NEVER HAVE MY DIXIE, AS SHE HAS TO STAY WITH ME .

                                                WHEN I GO WE'LL CROSS TOGETHER, AND THAT IS HOW IT HAS TO BE ! HOWEVER, IF SHE GOES I ONLY ASK, SHE WAIT ON THE BRIDGE FOR IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE I PASS.......
