Thanks Wanda for checking on us. My husband loved Rocky with all his heart and he of course being a man covers up more than me but I know his heart is also breaking and I don't help any. He had said during the past year that he didn't think he could ever go thru this again ...the pain was too much but he misses him as much as me. He said yesterday that he didn't know if he could live without a boxer...it is so lonely. So when the time is right we may get a new baby. He said they just live such short lives and I said yes but they love you enough for 20 yrs in their life time and he said you have that right. Right now we are grieving...today has been better for me. I keep remembering how much pain he was in and the fact he would not let go and I have found strength in knowing we set him free....to prove our love for him. Not that he didn't already know. I know we had many more days than alot of people on here get...he was spoiled and he felt our love til the end. There may be another boxer but NEVER another Rocky......We miss our Angel Boy...Rocky's Mom

Oh I am so sorry for your loss. i havent looked at this thread for a while and figured no news was good news.
Gee Rocky was such a strong spirit and oh how he just kept going and going. I think all our hearts broke a bit when he passed. I mean I dont even know you but feel like rocky and you guys became part of the family.
Im crying just typing this. I am sending so much love to you guys and will pray that you find the strenth to get through this.
Lots of love to you

I hope the pain is easing a little for you. That first week is the hardest...then after that, you take it one day at a time.
I am so glad we have Oscar...I couldn't imagine coming home to an empty house every night. I'm grateful every day we spotted him at the SPCA wagon that day in May. His smile and wiggle has made the transition much easier.
We talk about Semmi now...I couldn't stand to that first week...but every night its a 'remember when...' session.
*BIG HUGS* to you.....

It does take a long time to get through this its been a year since Willy has been gone and I can finally look at his pictures and smile instead of cry remembering all the good times we had and what a special boy he was. I love my dogs so much but each one has a special place in my heart no dog can replace another but you can love them just as much. We also had Foreman when Willy went to the bridge he was actually at the vets with us in a different room I remember hugging and crying into him all the way home, but I also new a week before when the light went out of Willy's eyes that it was his time to go I think that was worse then actually letting him go that day.
One day you too will smile at all the good things that happened for you and Rocky instead of cry, in you own time.

Well I was on my way to work this am thinking how well I was doing today due to the fact I had not cried when my cell phone ran and it was the vet's office telling me Rocky's ashes were there for me to pick up. I made thru the call and when I walked into the vet's office I just started crying. It was like I had left Rocky at the vets and I was going to pick him up. Silly as it may sound I feel better having his ashes back home where he loved so much. I have a little memorial set up with a sandblast boxer figurine, a small boxer with angel wings and a halo...pictures of him and now his ashes. I have an assortment of cards from family and friends. It makes me feel like I am giving him a tribute to his life wonderful life and all the love he gave. Thanks again for all the wonderful response and caring words.....Rocky's Mom

It is sooooo hard. It's been six months since I lost Chance, I still shed tears almost every single day for my baby, my heart still aches.
I understand about having Rocky back home with you, it is were he belongs. This may sound strange/odd to you but every night I carry Chance (his urn) upstairs to bed with me and set him on my nightstand, he always slept in our bed with us every night so it only seems right to have him in our room at night. Every morning I carry him back down stairs and set him on our mantel overlooking our living room.
I am sorry, I wish we never had/have to experience such pain and sadness.
((((Big Hugs)))) to you!!!!!

I am so sorry for you and Rocky. I come to check on him and I am just broken hearted that he is gone. He had a long brave fight and guess a small part of him belonged to us all. I am sitting here crying my eyes out with Mopar asleep beside me. Know that you are in my heart and my prayers.....
Thanks for sharing Rocky's homecoming - I can understand how you feel, wanting his ashes close to you, and in a place where he gave and knew love, his home. I also think it's lovely to have a memorial set up, to show your love and remembrance. Someday, I will do this for my Grunt, if he goes before me, and I will remember Rocky and you. Now, may each day come to you with one less tear, and one more smile for your precious boy.
hey don't worry about the tears.I'd be more worried if there weren't tears. Rocky was a huge part of your familys life. Everyone needs to greive. Time will heal though. Many people find comfort in having the ashes of their loved ones around-nothing strange about that either.Don't worry if you find yourself talking to Rocky either. 
I've felt the presense of many of my angel dogs around me after they died. We all grieve and heal in our own way. I have a feeling when the time is right another Boxer will find its way into your familys heart...probably when you least expect it. For now though,get a few good nights sleep. With Kiddo I was getting up every 1/2 hour to an hour towards the end which really left me sleep deprived.
