Four Years And Still Hurts so.....

Dutch,
It has been four years since you left my side, but not my heart. I can’t believe how it still hurts, I miss you and still cry for you, as I am right now. I hope you understood why I had to let you go, you were such a tough and brave little girl, if it were your choice you would have stayed and suffered just to be with us. You went through so much those last weeks, and fought so hard. I love you so much I had to let you go to end your pain.
It wouldn’t be long, another year that your best friend would join you, at last you were not alone, you and Duke were together again.
You will never be truly gone, we may not be able to see you, but you will always be here, in our hearts.

Miss You Baby Girl

The memories will never escape us.
They live in our hearts everyday.

The sadness never lightens up, but knowing you did the right thing at the right time, helps make the pain a little easier to deal with.
Our thoughts are with you while you grieve today.
I'm sure Dutchess and Duke remember all the love and good times they had and respect you unconditionally for letting them go when it was their time.

Hold them close to your heart and never let go of the memories.
Give Caesar, Brandi, Jake and Maggie some extra lovins tonight.
Their time here is always too short.

You never stop missing them, you slowly start to change the hurt feeling to a feeling of fond memories.

It's been 18 years since my first boxer died & I still miss her, although I don't cry anymore when I talk about her.

I can remember all the funny things she used to do & I can smile.

I smile when I think about her tripping my mum up everytime she would take the washing basket outside or the way she would wake us all up in the morning, checking everyone as soon as she woke up.

I know how you feel, & it is good to have a cry & remember your babies.

I'm sure Duke & Dutchess are playing together (& probably creating all sorts of boxer havoc

) at the bridge.

Oh Peg,
They do leave giant pawprints on our hearts don't they. They are just so very special that they can never ever be forgotten. Oh sure our lives do go on, but we are always just a little sadder and never quite the same. How lucky we are to have known the wonderful love of a precious boxer. If it helps any at all, please know that you did not cry alone this evening. I cried with you. djk
