Good-bye Roxie!
Suddenly today we have to say good-bye to our beloved dog Roxie. She had been loved, and been a big part of our life here. She`s the one who got me out for at least a short walk every morning, and most afternoons. She was gentle, handsome, and loyal. We will miss our `Grey County Mutt`terribly.
This is my latest picture of her, just a few days ago, and it`s the way I will remember her, lying in the snow outside and surveying her domain.
She was at the dog sitters while we were away for my surgery, and was sick overnight. Then we got a phone call saying they had rushed her to the vet. I won`t share the details, but after tests and discussion with the vet it was apparent that the prognosis was very poor. And she was obviously in a great deal of pain. We made the agonizing decision and said our good-bye. When I can see clearly I`ll put together a longer post about her life with us.
Good-bye Roxie.
Good-bye Roxie.

ReplyDeleteI well know the pain in your heart Stu. In 2011 we lost 2 dogs in one week and our third dog less than a year later.

ReplyDeleteLoved pets are so hard to lose. Last Wednesday marked three years since we had to make a similar decision about our pet cat Stick Tail. And we too were away and a dear friend made sure he got to the vet and an emergency hospital in our absence. My thoughts are with you. - Margy

Pets become part of the family and it is surely painful when they reach the end of their lives.
ReplyDeleteRIP Roxie. So sorry to read your news. Always so hard to lose a beloved family member.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so sorry about your Roxie. It is so hard to lose a pet that are such a part of the family.
ReplyDeleteI'm so, so sorry to read this. I can't imagine how painful it was to make the decision about Roxie when you were having surgery. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI had some catching up to do on your blog and was scrolling from newest to older posts, loving the photographs as I went. Then I saw, "Good-bye" Roxie, and honestly, my heart just sank. She was beautiful and I loved that the two of you were such walking buddies. So many times, reading your older posts (before my blogging "break"), the thought that Roxie was enjoying pretty close to a perfect life with you and Mrs. F.G. would cross my mind. I'm so deeply sorry!
ReplyDeleteAw good bye Roxie. Hold on to all those good memories.
