to all who responded about Bo...
I want to thank each one that posted their thoughts, prayers before the boy left me. I also want to thank everyone that posted their condolences when he went away. I got his ashes on Thursday and I have them in my den on a bookcase. Lots of folks are telling me I should get another Boxer right away. I can't do that, at least not right now.
It's very surreal here. I keep listening for his snore.
Thanks again to all. You folks have been doing the Lord's work.

I just saw your story today 11-5 and it broke me up. Hearing of your loss was bad enough, but the similarities in how I came to get my first Boxer, and the name of my own boy really made me feel your loss. Stella was a present from a friend of mine given to me on Easter of '98. I had just ended a 3 year relationship the previous December and had a very poor outlook on things till my girl came into the picture. She was the friend that I very much needed at the time that was never to busy for me. There is no doubt that Stella was the reason I was able to put some things behind me and move on as I'm sure Bo did for you.
On June 12'th, 2001 Stella gave me my boy Beau and he is truly a "Beautiful Son" hence the name Beausolei. Beau is still a youngster of sorts at 3, but Stella is starting to show some age as she will be 7 on 2-7-05. When I hear stories like yours and what you had to go through I only hope I can be nonselfish and do the right thing when the time comes. I'm sure it was extremely difficult but definitely the right choice.
You'll never be able to replace Bo, and you shouldn't look at it like that as far as getting another dog. People always say that a lost loved one would want you to go on and have happiness, I'm sure that applies to dogs too. Don't feel as though you are betraying Bo by getting a new pup to love, if anything you will see similarities that will remind you of your boy, and let you be able to smile when you think of him.

My Magic
Each time I read your post I have such a difficult time replying to it. Even today, I have tears streaming down my cheeks. I lost my female boxer, Magic on 9/17/04. It was one of the worst times in my life. I had a huge hole in my heart and felt so much agony that I wondered if I were in hell or not. All Magic's sweet habits and favorite things were in ever part of our home and yard. I started reading BW shortly after her death.
It has only been a month and 1/2 now. We rescued a boxer boy from San Jose rescue. The first week and a half was rough as our boy, Deeg, was such a puppy with a lot of bad habits. I was so exhausted from taking care of Magic during her illness that having a puppy about did me in.
I do not know if I did the right thing by getting Deeg. I was so afraid to open my heart again. If you would have asked me a few months ago if I had taken this step shortly after loosing my girl...I would flat out said "no way!" I know for sure, we would not have Deeg if we stayed away from the Boxer Rescue. I guess visiting the Boxer Rescue broke my heart; I saved a boxer from a homeless life. I think my Magic would be happy about that.
I love Magic so much; she was my best friend. I still to this day want to see her again, if even for an hour. Deeg has a hard act to follow. Nevertheless, he is helping us in so many ways. He does so many little things that Magic use to do that it is a comfort to me. Getting a new dog so soon after Magic was hard but as the days go by I am learning that I have a lot of love to give and Deeg is becoming a big part of our family.
I know, that a new one will enter you life at the right time. It will happen when you least expect it. I am hoping that your heart is healing; time seems to go by so slow during the healing process.
