Hey Vicky!
Add my name to the list of cryers!

I still have a hard time reading particular poems, but ultimately, what yours says is so true. I know it's so hard to think of letting a loved one go, but it truly is a gift to that pet. I found a similar poem about the time I had to let Ginger go... and I still read it when I feel sad. It is the ultimate gift of love. And even though I miss her terribly, I have to find peace in thinking about it as a gift to her. It is comforting, and I know she is in a much better place... I truly believe that.
I haven't posted much lately, because I've been serving on a jury (what fun) all week. I come home every day pretty much exhausted (too much information to process at one sitting), but I still check in and read your posts.
Stay strong for Rocky! The love of a pet, especially a boxer, is sooo priceless and FUN and full of joy. Think about the fun and the love you shared with both of your babies, the good days, as Donna says, and stay strong.
We're here for you and send you our hugs!
