I am new to this site and just recently lost one of my beloved Boxers. Roxie would have been 14yrs old on November 9th. We had her put to rest on September 8th. Roxie had a nasal tumor that was not curable and would take her life. Roxie bled from her mouth and each time it happened it lasted longer. This was diagnosed two weeks before we let her go, she had three episodes of bleeding badly the third one being on the day we had her put to sleep. This little white bundle of love never weighed more than 42lbs her whole life, whata littlelspit-fire she was. Roxie was loving and loyal till the end, she loved every baby we brought into the house. Roxie out lived her Brother Dylan that we had put to sleep three years ago, he had a tumor on his spine, he was loosing his ability to walk. We have always said we would do what was right for our babies, not hold onto them because we couldn't let go. Well, we have done that in two instances now and I still pray everyday we have done the right thing. I hope we have, even though for us the pain is unbearable at times, we didn't want them to have any pain. It has to be about them, not us. I keep telling myself that. I have rattled on far too long, forgive me. I love theese babies with every fiber of my being, when it is time for them to move on , I feel so empty. However, how lucky we have been to have experienced such unconditional love and devotion. Until we meet again my sweet angels. Mommy and Daddy love you................Forever.
