My beautiful Bertie gone to the bridge...

[bendy]

It's been quite some time since I visited the site. I felt I that needed to share my grief with other boxer lovers. Bertie aged 8 went to the bridge on Saturday 7th August 2010.

It was such a shock, and quite unexpected I am devestated. Thursday he was full of life bouncing around and playing with Emma our 12 year old boxer. Firday he seemed a little down, by Saturday morning when I got up I knew something was wrong he wouldn't move not even to the sound of the leash.

To cut a very long day short after numerous tests scans and xrays, it was discovered he had silent tumours in his liver, spleen and kidneys and had internal bleeding.

I will never ever forget the pleading look in his eyes at the vets surgery he seemed to be saying please help me I can't go on, nothing could be done for him.

Today I have looked back at the photo gallery on the site and shed many tears after looking back and sharing fond memories.

He was my life and will be a part of me forever, I can't imagine my days without him.

Good night God Bless Bertie, and thank you for bringing such joy to our family xxx

My sympathies to you and your family. I glanced over your photos and Bertie was a beautiful boy. You have some really wonderful pictures of him with Emma and I can see what a joy they both are to you. I'm sure that he is looking down at you with love.

Rest in peace dear Bertie

I am so sorry for your loss.
I understand your pain completely as I lost both of my boxer babies suddenly and unexpectedly.
You will spend the next few weeks just trying to wrap your head around what happened. It will take time but you will learn to think more of the happy memories which will bring smiles to replace the tears.
Godspeed sweet angel Bertie.

Sympathy for your loss

Having recently helped Chyna cross the rainbow bridge, I feel your sorrow. You will be able to smile at the memories one day, as hard as that seems to be to believe right now.
Take care of yourself.
