Please pray for Josi

[liamsmom]

It is hard to write when one is wiping tears. The saga of Ms Jose has been one of the most heart felt and wrenching love stories of all times. We all continue to pray for your family and that Ms Josie will pass to the bridge surrounded by those she so much loved. Your whole Boxer World family will be there, also, though it be in spirit only. Much love and peace to you...

Staci and Brian, I sit hear wiping tears of sadness for what you are going through, but also tears of joy in knowing what a wonderful and fulfilling life you gave to Ms Josi. And all the joy and happiness she brought to you. We are still hoping for the best for the Warrior Princess. what a brave soul she is. What a hero you two are for having such compassion for Josi. I always enjoy reading about her weekends at Grandmas. I am hoping for the best and praying for all you. Words can't express what you must be feeling, but you have gone above and beyond. Ms Josi is a lucky princess. And you have been blessed with her!! (((((((((((((hugs))))))))))) lovicon

Just wanted to drop a quick note before we bed down for the night. Josi is still resting comfortably...she has eaten through a bunch of chicken, two steaks, and some blackberries. Her swelling and oozing continue to worsen if that is even possible, but it truthfully doesn't seem to be fazing her. She has "hot lips" which is a sight I haven't seen in awhile and she has showered me with stinky kisses. She has gone out twice to pee alot and she also took a poo. We put sheets down over our entire concrete patio out back so it will hopefully feel better on her troubled paws. I hope we have a peacful night and Josi has been assuming the spread-eagleposition to the ceiling all throughout the day which happens to be a favorite of mine right up there with the frogger. This has been quite a weekend and I could not have done it without you all. Caroline~where do I begin, but someday sometime I will sit down and attempt to write my words of appreciation to you for all that you have done for me since that fateful day back in December. Keep the prayers coming and thank you for lighting those candles in honor of Josi. We are so lucky for all of you. I will post in the morning....good night

Just wanted to say that through tears, I am hoping an praying you can spend every last minute with your beautiful Warrior Princess and that you can be at peace with what is happening. Ms. Josi has fought so hard and when God needs another angel, the journey will be peaceful.

You mentioned earlier that you can't imagine life without her, but she will always be there. Just because she isn't there physically doesn't mean she won't be with you. She will be peering down between clouds watching over you and Brian and forever be in your heart.

Know that you and your family have and will be in our thoughts and prayers and that you are never alone in this. Keep your chin up and smile, it will help you to feel better.

Ms. Josi will continue to fight with everything she has and if everyone would put that much effort into whatever they were doing, the world would be close to perfect. Josi has taught us all lessons that we shall never forget. Hugs from our family to yours.

Heading off to bed, but praying that tonight brings you a sense of peace, whatever the next few days may hold. Staci, Miss Josi will not always be with you in body, but you will see her in something everyday. She will come to you in ways that only you will know and understand. There will always be a special place in your heart carved out just for her. I can promise you that as sure as the sun will rise in the morning, time will heal the pain you feel right now. One day you will be able to think of your precious girl and smile, even laugh, at the funny things she did. And you will find comfort in those memories. There will also be times when your heart breaks as badly as it is breaking right now. But those times will become less frequent as you fully realize that it truly is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved, or been loved, at all. May God put his arms around you, Brian, and Miss Josi tonight as you try to get some rest, and gather strength for the future.

Thank you for keeping us posted on what has to be a very difficult day. My thoughts and prayers go out to Ms Josi and her mom and dad, grandparents, too.

 

[butlersmom]

Just wanted to let you know that I'm still here, and sending prayers and good thoughts to you, Brian, and Miss Josi. I'll check back throughout the day. Hoping that all of you are resting well. Hugs.....

We all had a very good night's rest. Josi snored throughout the evening and awoke as usual around 6:30am to go outside and pee. She waited ever so patiently for her morning breakfast consisting of chicken thighs, chicken hearts, and pumpkin and gobbled it down like a champ. She is back to resting as she usually does after filling her belly. The swelling in her limbs seems to have subsided for the time although I don't think it has decreased any. It looks like it would be painful and that her front right paw could literally explode, but like I said before she is not the least bit fazed and seems to manage getting around just fine. We now have a new name added to our list of nicknames for her...bigfoot! Her lower abdomen is really bruised up now which I am guessing is from the blood and fluids spilling throughout. Although I see what is going on right in front of my eyes, it seems almost impossible for how comfortable and peaceful she is. I am hoping and guess that it was the transfusion of blood and plasma has done for her and she is much deserving. Do you think she knows she is going to the bridge soon and please tell me she is not scared? Do you think she has feelings that I do of immense sadness of leaving her loved ones on this earth? I know we will be together again someday hopefully in the very distant future and I will live the rest of my life believing whole-heartedly in that b/c it will keep me going.

Not to sure what today will bring, but I will do my best to keep you all posted. I am going to contact the pet cemetry/cremetory this morning and discuss arrangements. Brian doesn't want to worry about those necessary details until after the fact, but I know all too well with losing my mom that no matter how hard it is to pre-plan death, it is so much easier when it is all taken care of prior so you can just live in the moment and grieve at that time. I truly think that Josi plans to live up to her board given name of "Warrior Princess" to the bitter end and I must say how fitting that will be
