NWR: Not a Good Friday.

I've shared details on these boards about my family and my love for dogs before so I thought I'd share the horrible news. I had two 4 year old Boxers. Our male, we got from a reputable breeder in SoCal and our female (Roxy) we adopted two years ago.

I normally post about my dogs goofyness and how they're awesome and my special love for this particular breed but today I'm posting with a heavy heart.

Our vet called us this morning to inform my husband that our poor Roxy didn't make it. She died last night but the cause is still unknown and it's kinda hard to keep it together at work. We took her in two days ago because she was running a fever and she just looked dazed, she was eating and drinking but it was still not normal for her to be so calm; the vet said that as long as she was drinking she'd be fine but they'd keep her just to make sure everything was ok, well yesterday, she didn't eat solid foods. she was tube fed and her health completely deteriorated. I haven't talked to the vet and these are just bits and pieces from what the Dr. told my husband but we're just a mess today. I don't know how we're going to tell our kids.

I would post pictures but they're all on my FB and FB is blocked at work. :(

  • I'm so sorry.  It's such a tragedy to lose a pet.
  • I'm so sorry mcda! A lot of us know how hard it is to lose a loved one (which animals are!), especially when it is an unknown cause. I hope that your family heals and you find out what happened soon. We're here if you need us!

  • Oh no, I'm so sorry for your loss.  It's so terrible when they leave us. 
    Here's something that my mother's (then) 6 year old neighbor told her when her dog passed away awhile ago:
    "You took good care of him while he was here on earth, and now it's his turn to take care of you."
  • So very sorry.  You're right, it's not a good Friday.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
  • That you all so much, I knew posting here would be a good idea.

    Here's a picture of Our Beloved Roxy. 3-5-2009 - 3-21-13



  • I love that white that she has around her neck. Sorry mcda. You know what we did for clients who lost a pet when I worked at the vet? We got a clay kit (like the ones you get for kids handprints) and did a paw print that they could take home and back. You can get them at any Hobby Lobby, Michaels, etc. If they still have Roxy there for you, maybe if you pick one up the vet could do this for you? It's always a nice thing to have.

  • I'm so sorry. We lost our family beagle of 12 years a few months ago. I just happened to be home that weekend and she passed away while laying in her bed in the same room as us while we were watching TV. We didn't even know she was sick. Dealing with an unexpected death is a blessing and a curse. You're glad you didn't have to worry for too long or make any tough decisions, but you wish you could have hugged her one last time or said goodbye properly (tearing up as I write this).

    </div><div>She was surrounded by people who absolutely loved her. I know it's 'humanizing' your dog, but maybe she didn't want you guys to make a fuss over her and just happily slipped away. I know that doesn't necessarily make it any better, I absolutely understand losing a long time pet, especially one you grew up with. Sorry for your loss as well. I love beagles.

  • That's a great idea KM. We have to go tomorrow morning to sign the paperwork at the vet so I'll call today about bringing the kit with me.

    Jenna, I'm sorry for your loss as well, it made me shed a tear or two but this post is honestly making me understand that this was for the best. I don't think I could've handled seeing her sick or in pain.
  • km, that's totally how we feel about it. She was happy in front of the fireplace with her people around her.

    Hugs.  sorry for your loss.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    Bring on the waterworks.

    I'm so sorry to hear about your furbaby. I hope you are able to get a pawprint, if that is something you'd like to do. Pets really are like family. Keeping you and yours in my thoughts today.
