Holly Goes Over Rainbow's Bridge

Uncle Jim's sweet Boxer, Holly, will forever be in our hearts and at our heels. Her nightly nudging, with her graying muzzle will always awaken Uncle on time when the alarm clock isn't enough. To know Holly was to know her playful eyes while begging and bending sideways for treats; a memory that will always make us smile.
Her spirit will always be waiting at the door for Uncle to come home, while wiggling her stubby little tail. Even in her absence, Uncle's forehead will always be a little damp from Holly "giving Daddy kisses". And, her chair will never really be empty of her big Boxer body curling up like a cat. In our dreams, she is still splashing and running circles in the Gulf of Mexico, just on the other side of Rainbow's Bridge. Holly was rescued by Uncle via Florida Boxer Rescue in 2002. She showed her gratitude everyday by being the most delightful, loyal and constant companion a human could wish for until cancer took her life. She is at peace now and we miss her terribly.
