Mr Oscar

One year ago today I had to make the very difficult & heartbreaking decision to put my mate to rest. Life has not been the same without him, and I still miss him terribly & think of him every day.

Over a period of 35 years we have had 5 Boxers in our lives that were all a big part of our family.....We loved them all dearly, but none were like my Oscar. He was something extra special. He had the most gentle & placid soul & an almost human-like personality that captured everyone who had the pleasure to meet him.

This is one of my favourite photos of Mr Oscar, taken a couple of years ago while he was playing with his favourite toy, a fluffy monkey....he was such a scallywag & I loved every inch of him.

He looks an adorable companion and I am very sorry for your loss.

A lovely capture. Our fur friends become a big part of our lives , they give so much love and companionship :)

[Babs]

What a lovely memory. He really does look quite a character, you must miss him so much.

[Lee-Ann]

Sorry for your loss..hope you have many great memories. I still miss my Staffy even though he has been gone for over 2 years now. Great shot of Oscar.

It is a long day when you have a dog put down, I feel for you.

[Carissa]

This is a wonderful tribute to your dear friend.

He's way too cute not to fav. Love those eyes :)

Oh my goodness.. i feel your pain, i had to put my Boxer, Levi to sleep almost 4 years ago and theres not a day that goes by that I don't miss him in some small way. I dont know what it is about boxer pups that are so special, but they wrap themselves around your heart and give you so kuch unconditional love. Big fav from me

What a great shot, it is almost a year since we said goodbye to our dog, so I can really relate to all that you have said here.

[Dawn]

[Kerri Michaels]

Yep, you can see the personality. My uncle had five boxers as well, some rescue dogs. They certainly have their fans.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

He looks like a fun fellow- missing him is certainly understandable. Thank goodness for pictures, right?

[Stephanie]

Oh @leggzy I know how you feel so much, there is not a day goes by that I don't think of my Roddy, I miss him so much. These boxers are like no other breed I swear. Your Oscar was one handsome boy, what a beautiful face he had and such lovely gentle eyes. Rest in peace beautiful boy.

Cool close up!! Great expression!

[Yao RL]

I totally understand your feelings, It reminded me when I have to put down my cat, It was heart broken. Very nice tribute to Oscar.

[Robin]

That is a beautiful tribute to your Mr Oscar. He looked like a wonderful character. Nothing beats the unconditional love of a pet.

[Paul]

I'm so sorry. I saw the image yesterday without seeing your words (not sure how I missed them) and just thought this was an image of your pooch. Had no idea of the story behind it. It's never easy when you have to say goodbye and it doesn't get easier over time. They leave such a huge hole in our lives when they're gone. I'm sure Oscar had a wonderful life with you. I bet he was a real character 😌

[Catherine]

What a beautiful photo. I lost my collie last year and not a day goes by without thinking of her. They are such amazing companions and I feel so sorry for your loss and understand your sadness. fav

What a great image! We have always had boxers too - white ones. Amazing, adorable and perfect! Callie, my last dog was my best friend and when she passed away I decided to never have another one. She passed over 10 years ago now, and I still see her sitting on the front steps every day. :(
