The Essence of Bruno – Bruiser Bruno: My Tenacious & Triumphant Tripawd

Bruno doing what he does best!

BRUNO…

In the summer sun-basking,

as he listens to birds singing.

In the cool river, refreshing,

watching Daphne swimming, as he practices his fishing.

In the sultry evening celebrating,

with a watermelon he’s long been awaiting.

On dirt road, open-air, country drives he’s contemplating,

his thoughts interrupted by adventures he’s anticipating.

And as I watch him, intently, I am taken;

enchanted by his essence:

quiet, gracious, gentle, stoic-fighting, life-loving.

I catch him smirk-

with a devilish grin,

and a twinkle in those cognac eyes.

He takes a deep breath–

and Thanks God to be Alive!

Hi. I am Bruiser Bruno, a 7 yr. old American Bulldog who has lived the most wonderful life. Currently, I reside in beautiful NW Arkansas (alongside my soulmate and bestgirl, Daphne, and our four handsome and rambuncuous boys) with my wonderful parents, JD and Maricela. We all moved to Arkansas about three and a half years ago.But honestly, I would have to say that I consider myself a true Texan at heart- since that's where I mostly grew up. Yee-Haw! I am however originally from California. What can I say, I like to travel. **Bruno's spirit was set free, as he crossed over Rainbow Bridge, on 12/31/12. He faced his battle with cancer stoicly & with awe-inspiring courage. No matter how bumpy the ride, it was one which I could have stayed on forever. I am grateful for "EVERY" moment I was lucky enough to have shared with him. View all posts by bruiserbruno
