Lost a friend

Sorry for your loss man. Really sucks mans best friend only lives about 16 years give or take, but a frigin tortoise or a creepy bird can live like 70 years. I have had a few dogs, but will remember them all. Funny, my grandfather could remember his dog he had before I was born, but couldn’t remember my name, his first grandson. Lol.
 
Damn man so sorry to hear about what happened. Stay strong and just reminisce about the good times. Don't fight the feelings it's good to get it out of your system.
 
Sorry for your loss. It amazing me how fast animals can turn for the worse. Literally hrs. I love the look of boxers...powerful always comes to my mind, but they have such short life expectancy. I believe 8-10yrs is the norm? Which is just not fair for such a beautiful dog.

Remember the good times and know she's in a good place.
 
Keep your head up brother. That dog was lucky to have you and you were lucky to have her. Focus on the good times and not her passing! Congratulations on the promotion as well man.
 
@loveyourbody respect man. That is sooo hard. Had to put down my first dog this past year. First time I cried in 35 years. I feel you. Grats on the promo btw.

Had to put my Lexie down a few years back because tumors had destroyed her kidneys. So difficult to do when you can see her awake and walking around. Buried her in the back yard was the second hardest thing to do. I wasn’t expecting the “death rattle” and thought she was still alive. Not sure I’ll go that rout again.
 
8 years old is rough. Did you ever get an idea what happened? In all my years I’ve never been in your position to wake up and find my baby has past. What a difficult thing to wake up to. You did everything you could to give her a good life and that’s all she asked for.

I understand the feeling brother

The week before she had been sick. She had a fever so I took her to the vet. She was fine for 4 days. She wasn't as hyper as usual the night before she passed away but I figure that was normal since she had just gotten over the fever. I don't know brother. I feel like it's my fault for not taking her to the vet again.
I got lucky that my brother from another mother knew how close I was to my dog and he lives 3 houses down. He is a good friend and called a pet funeral service to come pick her up, cremate her, and put her ashes in a neckless. I know boxers usually don't make it past 10 and 8 years is the avarage but that was my god damn little girl.

Wow I didn’t know that about age. I figured the only dogs that don’t make it past 8 were Danes.
 
Just coming here to vent a bit my friends.

I got a huge promote at work. In my mind it was suppose to be one of the best moments of my life. Sadly life is a bitch!

On Thursday of last week my 8 year old best friend Molly (a boxer) was following me all around the house. Now she did that but not as much as she did that day. The next morning I went over to mess with her like I usually do because it annoys her and it was just our thing. When I started putting her favorite toy on her face she didn’t move... my heart stopped and I began to lie to myself (denial). I started calling her name and she didn’t respond or move... I picked her up and my lil girl had moved on... I am not going to lie to any of you all, I balled my mother fucken eyes out! Excuse the language but that dog was my everything. I don’t really know why I am posting this but I miss my best friend. I don’t care how old you are 5, 10, 20s, 40s, or 70s when you lose a family member (she wasn’t just my pet) it hurts like a bitch! I guess what I am trying to say is spend time with your furry family members. Their life is shorter than ours and they love us like no other. Show them that same love back! They deserve it

Sincerely
LYB
Married 15 years, couldn't have kids so we bred jack russels. that was family. wife and I had bitter moments over this which eventually us. I knocked the girl up across the street, have a 7 ear old who is my world.
 
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Sounds like you gave your best friend a good life, may they rest easy.
 
Sorry to hear about your loss man, much respect. Life is a bitch, but please keep in mind to stay strong, No one can touch your memories and good times with her, she’ll be always with you if you stay strong now.
 
Sorry to hear that brother. My friend died in my arms at exactly 2 am. Somehow, at 10pm I knew she was passing away and stayed with her until she was gone.

I had decided to take her to the vet the next morning, but I still blame myself for not acting sooner. I was selfish and was hoping she could live a little longer by my side.

You gave her a good life and from that picture, we can all see she was happy by your side. Take care.
