Waldo's wagon

[Slobberchops]

I drove our 4WD last week for the first time in ages,I got in the drivers seat,the first thing that hit me was Waldo's scent,still so strong after nearly 11 months!! Took me a few minutes to stop the tears
This was his ride for quite a few years!!He's making sure he"ll never be forgotten

I feel your pain.
It took a year or three before I took Dakota's winter coat down and put it away.
I could still smell her in her coat. Wife said I was weird, but it was comforting. She was our first boxer. It was a shock to lose her at only 6 yrs old.

Oh, Slobberchops - I can completely identify with your experience... HUGS to you! I still have Ben's bright yellow jacket with black trim at the collar... After 4 years, it still has a faint "Eaux de Ben" along with some hair sticking to it. As I post this, I am smiling at my memory of calling him my little (80-lab) bumble bee and his eager willingness to put it on. We had some great walks & hikes before DM took his back legs away... miss him & his sweet "smile".

I honestly know exactly how you feel. The first time we vacuumed after our black lab passed away, we saved his hair from the vacuum cleaner in a baggie just so we could preserve his smell......

I know some people would think all these posts are crazy but I totally get it. I haven't lost a boxer yet but my Lacy is beginning to show lighter hair around her black mask. So, her silver face is slowly beginning and I dread thinking of well you know. I don't want to think about it. I think you guys are great to want to preserve your boxer's scent. Smells help us remember I think I read some where. You are the BEST!!!

Yes sometimes I think I smell the scent of some of our previous babies we hhave had over the years,but am sure it is just my brain going into hyper-drive.but it sure is good going back there.
