With you on this one. Lost my friend recently. Letting it off my chest in the forum has help me a lot. Whole lot. We'll see them in by the rainbow bridge someday. But not just yet.

Sometimes I find myself thinking if losing your furry buddy is an example of a life's tragedy. Then, I discovered that we feel so much pain because we were loved by them. And, no.....losing a furry buddy is not tragedy. Painful...but not really tragedy. Not knowing such love from them, not being...

Good idea. I'll plant a pine tree near Max's grave

Thank you very much for this poem. It brings me closer to the idea/wish that someday, in the afterlife, we shall be reunited with our friends.

Whoa!!! That definitely hurts, man. That many friends to lose in so short a time. And you're right, I am definitely thinking of getting another one and I am considering of getting from the same dam. My girlfriend and I were thinking that if we should get another, we will be getting his brother...

The thing I miss the most about him was his company after a long day at work. He wasn't like other dogs that would always play and play to no end. He was playful though if he can sense that am in a playful mood. But if I was tired and just want to finish my after-dinner beer by the porch, he...

I think you're right, Gunther. Getting another boxer can be a good idea. I still have the plastic packets for Max's food. I can still use those for the new pet. There's continuity there. Got to buy new toys though. Buried Max's toys too (he's fond of his toys). He might need something to play...

Kinda strange nowadays. Like quitting a habit (not even a bad habit), things seem different and has to change. I still find myself looking at the prices of tripe and liver when I no longer have to. I always give some treats to Max once in awhile (he loved liver and tripe). There's a bunch of...

Max took the journey to the rainbow bridge. Lepto got him in between shots. Just three days from first symptom. I miss my friend. I avoided going to the yard to clean up his toys. Maybe next week. Run free, boy. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about Max's behavior,

I hope Tyson likes rough play. He might come across Max at the rainbow bridge and they'll have a good time. I lost Max three days ago and it still hurts a lot. Run free Tyson and Max. Play rough but not too rough.

Thanks, roge. Maybe dogs are angels in earthly form.

My pet just recently took the journey to the rainbow bridge. Lepto got him. And it hurts. A lot. More than the break-up of a past girlfriend. I have two pets, a lab ( pet-sitting) and a boxer (Max). Labs are kind of "selfish" in a way...they just always wanted to play. No exceptions. Not Max...

Max died today. Lepto got him. It was real fast. Just a matter of three days. He died in the vet's clinic. Man, it hurts and hurts deep. But for all the hurt, it's still worth it. If one cannot feel so much hurt for a friend like a pet, then that would mean one wasn't loved by one. See you...

would rough play be as good as exercise for a three month old puppy? my boxer always plays with another puppy like long stretches during the day. would that be sufficient as exercise? they do get tired after an hour or so.
