He came to us on a sunny, snowy day in November 1996 and left our lives on a sunny, snowy day in November 2008 (23-11-08) with us by him until the end. The calling of his mum to have him back with her was an offer Chester couldn’t refuse.
Chester was the King amongst Boxers so beautiful and gentle he brought love, smiles and joy to anyone he met. Chester should have been called lucky as he suffered so many conditions. He had his spleen removed, had a hernia operation, had a cruciate operation, 2 operations for multiple lumps, operations on his gums twice I’ll stop there but the list went on.
Despite these set-backs he was a true soldier and battled on without a whimper. Chester fell ill to cancer of the lymph glands and we set him free from his pain and suffering as early as we could. We had 12 years of unconditional love from him and he owed us nothing,our hearts have been truly broken.
Everyone knew Chester he was a local celebrity, people young and old would always spend time to make a fuss of him He had many friends but his closest was Harvey the dog. Never say never, but I think he will be a one and only pet love. Tears are not enough.
Waiting for a day when we reunite – love Michael, Gillian, Alistair, Nicola, Dean

How Very True

Brown Dogs Forever

B oxers are the best, I'll argue that with any
R egal and expensive they're sure worth every penny
O nly a face that us moms & dads can love
W rinkly and slobbery, they're just a step above
N o other dog comes close to them in their perfection

D are I say I love my Boxer without any reservation?
O ften people are frightened by their power and might
G reat protectors they are, but there's no need for fright
S weet and gentle when trained well right from the start

F orget all your fears, these dogs are all heart
O h they're filled with life and lots more pep than most
R eady for anything, as we Boxer lovers boast
E ver the clowns,yet so stoic and tough
V ery few owners can praise them enough
E very Boxer owner says no other breed will do
R egal, fun and loving with a heart that's ever true

I Thought of You Today

I woke early this morning, lifted the shade

to a sky overcast and gray.

No ray of sun to brighten my heart,

and I thought of you today.

The breezes of summer are no more

and have moved along on their way.

The crisp air of autumn has settled in,

and I thought of you today.

The crunch of the leaves under my feet,

I remembered how you loved to play,

chasing the leaves across the yard,

and I thought of you today.

As the daylight faded into dusk

and the shadows came to play,

I lit a candle and watched the flame dance,

and I thought of you today.

I crawled into bed, turned out the lamp

and glanced where you used to lay.

The tears came again, as they always do,

as I thought of you today.

My Most Precious Angel


Picking up the pieces of my broken heart.....
The task is rather daunting, I don't know where to start.....
I hold onto the memories and handle them with care.....
The emptiness and anguish is just too much to bare.....
There is nothing left inside of me except the tears I cry.....
'They' say it will get 'easier' as time passes by.....
The time we spent together, I will always hold so dear.....
You were taken from me much too soon,
we had still so much to share.....
Each day is full of sadness, bitterness and grief.....
I'm trying hard to 'let you go' but I am still in disbelief.....
You told me to find happiness and peace when you are gone.....
It's your presence and your strength I need, if I must carry on.....
Comfort only you can give me, may help the pain depart.....
Your loving me 'eternally', can mend my broken heart.....
Someday we'll be together to see that setting sun.....
Until then, you're my Angel.....
The Most Precious One!

RAINBOW BRIDGE POEM Author unknown

Just this side of Heaven, before the Pearly Gates Is a sunny meadow where your pets can rest and wait. It's where the slanting sunshine meets the highest clouds, A floating bridge of rainbows, so far above the ground.

This is where we wait for you, if we have gone before, Just out of sight of mortals, just outside heaven's door; Here we play in sunshine, frolic free from age or pain, And anticipate the joyful time when we will meet again.

Every pet that's lived on Earth can bide his time, can wait, For that special person to come walking to the Rainbow Gates, And everyone who's loved a pet will find them safely here, Frolicking on Rainbow Bridge till your own time draws near.

One day there comes a feeling, a trembling in the air, And then we know it's time to run and come to meet you there, Faster and faster on that day, across Rainbow Bridge we'll run, To meet the humans we love best, come walking in the sun.

Alas my friend you cannot pass across Rainbow Bridge with me, But when your time for glory comes, waiting for you I'll be - Then together we will walk upon a path of glittering light, No more to suffer, nor to part, but to live forever side by side.

Every pet that's lived on Earth can bide his time and wait Until together with his person he goes through those Pearly Gates, And everyone who's loved a pet, you'll find them waiting here, Safe and sound on Rainbow Bridge till your own time draws near.

It's Never Easy
Author unknown

It's never easy to say good-byes,
When they speak to us with their eyes.
When their bodies are tired, weak and old,
And the love we've shared becomes pure gold.

The measure of friendship is put to the test,
When the showing is finished and it's time to rest.
From deep in their hearts their eyes will ask,
" Please ease my pain " - your most difficult task.

There's joy in the memories, treasure them all,
Winning a ribbon or chasing a ball.
So go now, you're free, to run and to play,
Where the sun always shines, day after day.

For the Master you serve now is gracious and fair,
And he'll love you and guide you until I am there.

'To All Creatures Great and Small'

We stumble through life so blind,
Only our hearts can see the love we find.

To others it all remains a mist,
A fog that shrouds our loving bless.

For they can not see what our hearts have found,
the joy of this love that abounds.

It springs with life and fills the air,
and returns itself free of fare.

What is this love, you all ask?
Look into the eyes of your animal and hold them fast!

For it is their love that runs so true,
and their hearts they share with you.

So to all creatures great and small,
in our hearts there is room for all.

H.P.
