Thank you! I haven't had the heart to clean the crate up yet.. I do think that I will pull out his blankets and pillows and wash them tonight...or maybe tomorrow.. I feel lost without him. It is amazing what our furbabies do to our hearts! I could only think in a perfect world no one would know what it is like to be without a furbaby and big wet sloppy kisses in it!

I have been away from my computer for a couple of days and missed this thread. I wanted to say how very sorry I am for your loss. It is not easy to lose our babies. I have found great comfort here on BW, especially when I lost my Cadence. I thought my heart would never heal, but sure enough, she led me to a beautiful Brindle boy and he is now my sweet little Colby. I was lucky to find him rather quickly after losing Cadence, but everyone needs to find the right time for themselves. I do hope you'll be able to open your heart to another Boxer baby sometime, but you take as much time as you need. This place was very comforting for me and everyone was so kind and caring. I think your donation to the SPCA is wonderful. My friends at work all got together and donated $100 in my Cadence's memory. She has her very own plaque hanging in their Memorial Hall. My friend took a picture of it and sent it to my cellphone. I'll have to try to upload it here. It's just beautiful. I know that there aren't a whole lot of words that I can say to comfort you, but just know that your baby must have been desperately needed for some special angel duties and that he's safe and happy and running free at the Bridge with all of our babies. I have no doubt that Cadence was there to greet him. They will all keep each other safe now.
Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I pray that time will heal you and that your wonderful memories will bring you comfort. Your boy is safe.
Run free, sweet Tug. Give Cadence a big kiss for me!!

I am so sorry to hear about your Tug. I know what you are going through and you have my sympathy. I know it is rough on the kids too, so just know you are in our prayers and I hope the pain eases soon even though the vacancy will always remain.
Thank you again! I did get to the SPCA this weekend and I cleaned the crate out. I did not take it down but cleaned it out. While at the SPCA I could not bring myself to look at anything just go in the front and make my donation. It is getting easier but man do I miss him. The distraction was so much I forgot the pay the phone bill this weekend :( .. And Boy can I ever tell this is Monday..

Very sorry to hear about your loss Karen. My wife and I had to put down our 9 month old boxer not too long ago. That was the worst day of my life. The following weeks were difficult too. Like you, we went to the SPCA to donate. However, we ended up finding the best dog to adopt. Cali has been a God-send. She has made this family feel complete again. I'm not sure if you're looking to go that route, but for us it was the best decision we've made so far.
Godspeed Tug. Rest in Peace little guy. And tell Junior we miss him.

SPCA=Society (or shelter) for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.. It is a local animal shelter.
It was all a very normal day. He just collapsed! Our vet said it was a "sudden death due to acute (something..sorry I forget) cardiomyopathy". This is from what I understand very rare and not something seen often. It can occur with no warning or symptoms, which unfortunately was Tug's case. I have not read anything on the "cardiomyopathy" yet.. To me all it stands for is "UGLY" and "UNFAIR"! I will get there though and read up on it.
I will tell you some of the best..kindest..most rewarding relationships come from shelters!! They really do seem to know what you are trying to do for them! I am waiting for the right one to find us! Give Cali a scratch and kiss from me.
