My boxer boy, Tyrone (5yrs) has just been diagnosed with lymphoma. This started back in August when a few of the nodes in his neck were swollen, but now all are hardened (painless), though he is still actiing like his old, silly self! Have done a lot of research on various vet med school's...

Last night, as I was about to drift off, I had a thought: Maybe the reason God calls our beloved boxers home so soon is because they are one of His favorites and He wants them back at His side. Somehow, this makes losing our sweet Honey two weeks ago a little easier to bear. Joanne, mom to...
