While searching for some answers on BW at the end of March, I noticed you just lost your Grunt. Your posts were always so strong and I liked reading them. We ended up letting our Bama go on April 2 and even though it's only been 3 weeks, it seems forever. He had lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks and was so weak, he couldn't stand up good. The night we brought him home from the vet on the 1st, he was so weak my husband had to pick him up and carry him out to go potty. The next morning, it was a cool, rainy morning here in Alabama and I hated taking him to the vet, but we knew we couldn't let him suffer any more. I know how you feel, missing him so much. Every time I rattle a bag of food in the kitchen, I still catch myself looking around as if he were to come running to sniff out what I had. We're getting a new addition today, a fawn male named Noah. I know I can never replace Bama, but we just needed another bouncy boxer in our household. We have a 6 month old Shit-zu who we hope will be his best buddy. We can take heart in knowing our babies aren't hurting or suffering anymore. Stay strong!
I remember when your sweet Bama was so sick and when he passed. :( All that he went through sounded so much like my Grunt. Just think, they aren't sick and weak anymore, and they are doing crazy Boxer burns at the Bridge! It makes me happy to know that you now have Noah in your family - it is so hard to live without a Boxer - and I'm sure he, with your little baby Shih-tzu will help to heal the hole in your heart.
