My 7 Yrs old has cancer

[Donna1969]

Personally if I hadn't had the deposit on Echo before Blizzy passed I don't know if I would have gotten one right away. I even said to my hubby the day Blizz passed to call the breeder and explain the situation and that I didn't want the pup that I would take one from another litter or that she could just keep the deposit and we'd leave it at that but he refused and told me to think about it. Which I did and after just one day without boxer love I KNEW I had to have another in the house.

And now, through whatever reason, I have been "sent" two babies to love. I guess my girl thinks pretty highly of herself thinking momma would need 2 babies to take the spot she left..my girl has EVERY reason to think highly of herself..she's right.

But no matter what, no amount of pups or dogs throughout my life will EVER EVER compare to my first love..she'll always be the Queen of my heart and the first I remember when reminising about those who've passed.

Sending out good vibes to you. Kisses to my handsome boy Rocky..and one to you Vicky! Please know that I ALWAYS think of you and Rocky and wish all is well.

I know I keep saying it over and over but you girls are the BEST!! I don't know what I would do without your shoulders to cry on. I know I can make it because Melanie, Donna, Laurie, and Wanda have all lost your babies and your here all the time helping me thru what you have all done. You will never know how much it means to me...well I'm having my evening cry before bed. Melanie each night when I open the door I am so afraid Rocky want greet me. He hears the automatic garage door and meets me at the back door but he has not failed to show up so far. Dexter has lived a long life for a boxer but I can understand your fears. May he have many more good years and Wanda I hope Chancey get a good report. You have had your share of heart aches.

Ok Donna...I missed something...somewhere...You are the proud mom of two boxers? Explain in detail. I knew about Echo. Some many people have 2 boxers and I think that it's great. You will have you hands full...but that's the mom of a boxer. I'm with Laurie for now about getting another boxer but time heals and makes us aware of what really makes us happy. We love all of you...Rocky the Moose and Mom

2 Boxers??

I think I missed something too - 2 boxers? How did Carson come into the picture? You must be having a grand time having two boxer puppies in the house and enjoying each other at the same time? I always thought two would be great - keeping each other busy. I know what you mean - nothing will ever ever replace that first boxer love - but I know I do feel empty not having another right now to give our love to. Heidi would have been 12 this May also and I know that is a good life for a boxer. I think I spend too much time reading the health forum also and I read about those who lose their boxers at such a young age. I think I read these because I want to see how everyone is doing. I guess any time is precious, just enjoy it when you have it. Hopefully we can enjoy the good times even more after having gone through these tough, sad times.

YOU really need to get out of this part of the forums honey! I posted in the Boxer Ring Forum LAST WEEK! Here is the link:

Oooh-you missed the Blizzy intervention thread?It's a must read!
.....talk about timing,the breeder I have been in touch with emailed stating the home he had picked for a white male pup had changed and wanted to know if I still wanted to be considered......I just had to say not at this time...I'm just not ready for a young pup yet. I've decided to rework the fenced area and I just don't feel I have the time to properly train a pup right now...although Chancey would definitely benefit from with a new bro or sis. I told him to please keep my app as I am planning on starting a search around late summer or early fall unless a rescue pops up. I'm kind of sad that I didn't say yes! but know the timing just isn't right. Give Rocky a huge hug!.....I know what you mean when you say you wait to see if you will be greeted when you get home.......

Congratulations Donna!!!!

Once again you girls are right I spend too much time on the health issues...that's why Laurie and I are having health issues in our minds (what's left of mine). If we would read the puppy stories we have tears of joy. Donna's story is wonderful...my problem would have been I would want ALL of them. I could never have a liter of pups I"d keep them all.

I am with Wanda (at the moment) I don't think I am ready to do the puppy thing just yet. Each of us will know when we're ready and we're all different but I think having two would be great. Can't wait for pictures. I am just a little jealous though. I could just visualize what you wrote. We're all great boxer moms and they deserve us... as much as we deserve them.


HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE...HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE FOR OUR DONNA!!!!!
I am so happy for you...enjoy that puppy breath...I love puppy breath....Rocky the Moose and Mom

 

[Donna1969]

Yes, each of us know when the time is right to open the home to a new one..whether it be baby or adult doggie. I knew the day after Blizzy left me that it was time! My house has been too empty these past almost 3 months..WOW 3 months..already. I still miss my girl, I still talk to her, I still swear I catch glimpses of her,as does her kittie Sassy I believe. I can still feel her..smell her..but soon enough I'll have a baby(s) to give all this love to..I am sure my girl is doing the ol' kidney bean at the Bridge with Kiddo!

Always thinking of you and Rocky. Hoping all is well..and yes, venture out of the 'illness" formum to the others, you may just find yourself smiling and laughting!!

Out of the health forums!

Yes - I think I need to ready more happy stories - my husband is getting mad at me watching me cry when reading the health forum.

Hey girls!

I have to admit, I spend a lot of time in the health forum too. On one hand, I find better, more serious communication here, but at times it can be a bit too serious. So then I venture into Chit Chat.... you're guaranteed at least a few laughs if you poke around there enough!! (Even though it doesn't count towards the paws by your name, I don't care.... it's fun to get to know the lighter side of people.) And the Boxer Ring is good too for a few laughs... Occasionally I'll check out the Poetry section, but I still shy away from the sad ones!

Boxerworld is a great place, and there really is a lot here. I really wonder what I did with my time before I actually joined Boxerworld???

Donna, you are going to have such a BLAST with TWO pups in your life!!! I'm soooooo excited for you! Isn't it funny how things work out the way they do? All I can say is take a deep breath and get ready for all the fun to begin!!

I hope everyone is WELL and HAPPY tonight!!

HUGS!!

Just me...we had a rough night but things are ok this morning...As Wanda says the roller coaster ride. Crying for an hour at 3:00am in the morning doesn't make getting up to go work any fun......We love you girls...Rocky & Mom
