Debbie I'm so so very sorry about Mr. Goliath. I screamed out loud when I saw this post. It just couldn't be. He was a very special Boxer, and always will be, and will never be forgotten.
God speed, Mr. Goliath. What a reunion it will be with your Dad and your Sister. May there be plenty of cheese to go around. Watch over your Mom and Jack. I know you will. If you happen to run into Bart say hi for me and Aus, ok? Thank you for letting me "know" you and your family.
Love, Chris & Austin

Deb,
I'm so sorry to hear about Goliath. A wonderful friend has been taken away from you and it's not fair, but now you know that Leroy and Hannah will take extra special care of him for you. He is no longer in pain or suffering at all. He knows you did everything possible for him and being the angel that he is, he loves you very much for it. We're here for you Deb, don't ever be afraid to ask for anything.
God Speed Goliath you will be missed by all.

Thank you all
Once again, I want to thank all of you for all your warm, loving thoughts and kind words which mean so much. I have read your messages over and over and have come to realize just what a truly lucky fellow Goliath was to be so loved by so many. We thought we would lose Goliath this time last year when his heart and seizure problems first started, but were blessed with a whole year more of that sweet face. I was really not all that surprised by the events of this week.....I said all along that this kind and loving old soul would stay just long enough to be certain that Jack and I would be Ok and then go to find his Dad. But knowing something and having your heart accept it are two very different things. I am thankful that when his demise began, it happened quickly and he did not suffer. He had been at the vet Monday, as he had started swelling in his throat and even his lips and the vet said that it appeared that his body and heart were simply shutting down. He gave him steroids that day, in a last attempt to help him, as I was not ready to accept the inevitable. He was better Tuesday but he got very sick Wednesday evening and as I sat up with him all night, holding his head in my lap, I promised him that if he lived through the night that he would NOT spend another night like that. He did make it til morning, but could barely stand or walk on his own and I knew I had to keep that promise I had made him. We helped him begin his journey with all the dignity a true gentleman like him deserved. Quietly, peacefully with his head in my arms, surrounded by a room of people who loved him as I did.
Goliath Knowles changed my life forever. He was the first Boxer I ever experienced. I was a cat person..it was Leroy who wanted a Boxer. But it did not take that sweet guy long to make a steadfast believer out of me and because of him, I will not live one single day of the rest of my life without a Boxer. He was a truly a jewel...a precious gem. djk

I started crying when I saw this thread. No matter how long they're with us, it's always too short a time. But we are blessed with them all the same.
