Lost our friend

[knewsham]

Hi,

I know how everyone is feeling - we lost our 8 yr old boxer from lymphoma after having him for just 6 months. He was our best friend, I swear he could read my mind! We had a very special bond and we won't ever forget him!! It has to be the absolute worst thing in the world to make that decision. I'd never had to put any animal down - it wasn't our intention, we had hoped for a solution to his problem, but it was in the back of our minds. We had got him from rescue and hoped that we made his life happy at least for the short time we had him. Honestly, I think it was best because if we'd known he was sick - we wouldn't have adopted him from Boxer Rescue and wouldn't have had the chance to love him. It's the hardest thing in the WORLD - and I know just what you're going through....you feel lost for a while. Keep their memory alive in your heart!

Hey loonie,

It's nice to see you're not alone in your grief, isn't it?

My Rosie died last december 20th (not so long before your hunny). I found some comfort here on the board and I hope you do too.

The grieving continues but grows less fierce.

We have a daughter of 4 and she wants a new friend so we hesitantly started to look around for a new puppy to adopt.

We visited some breeders and concluded we're still not ready for a new one.

It's tru that the sadness has to go away before you start anew...

So be patient, one day we'll both get up in the morning and decide it's time to get a new puppy.

That will be a good day....

Christina

losing a part of the family

When I lost my baby it was the hardest thing I ever had to do.But I felt comfort in knowing she was not in pain anymore.She was my first boxer.She will always be in my heart and I still cry for her.I waited for a year and my life and home felt empty with out a boxer in it. I told my husband I was more than ready for another boxer.So I started looking in the paper We found an ad.I called he had one left and it was a dark brindal The only one in the liter that was dark.He could'nt believe that she was the last one.I told him that's because she was waited for me.We took her home that night.Boy is she spoiled. I just can't live without a boxer.They are the best.WE went to a dog show and my husband told me before we left, that we are not going to get another right now.I had to laught because he fell in love with the big boy that was there.If he could have took him home we would have.So now I'm waiting for his shows to get over with.Then she will breed him.I told her I want To be the first in line.I really would love to have one of his pups.
I found thur going to the shows that it is best to get a baby from a good breeder.Health checked is a major importants.

I could not believe when I first read this post today that I had missed it and for that I am truly sorry. But as I looked back on the date of your post I realized I was going through a very tramatic time with my own furbaby Buddy, so I guess I missed your most important post. I just wanted to say how sorry I am about your Hooch. We said goodbye to our Buddy in February after a few weeks of him suffering too. I do hope that things are getting easier for you now, it does though take one day at a time.
Both Alan and I just wanted to express our most sincere sympathies to you and let you know we are thinking of you. Take care and remember the good times you had with your dear Hooch.
