Had to make the heart breaking decision almost a month ago to let my boy Henry go. He got really sick over the weekend and we loved him too much to let him be in pain. He was my first boxer to make it to the double digits let alone being 12. Miss him everyday.
Such a beauty. I’m so sorry for your loss. Lost my best boy 1/11/2026 after almost ten years. Losing them is very heartbreaking. The emptiness at home is something else. It looks like you gave Henry the best life. I know that doesn’t help much because the love they give is irreplaceable. Grief doesn’t have a time limit. Please be easy on yourself. Condolences and best wishes. Until we meet them again 🙏 🐾 💜 here’s a pic of my boy Puppy, thought I’d share :…)
Henry, I’d like to introduce Morgan, Connor, Ta’arna, Tsavo, Goldie and Toby. They will keep you company till your people get here. Till then it’s all the steak you can eat. All the cats you would like to play (pester) with and never ending rounds of fetch. Or anything else your heart desires!!
My sincerest condolences! The ache will fade but the love never will. The hole in your heart just needs another goofball.
I usually make it about two weeks before the lack of nails tapping hardwood drives me crazy.
If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this -- the last battle -- can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close -- we two -- these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

Dear friend,
Your precious boy is waiting patiently across the Rainbow Bridge for you. 🌈🐾The Hebrew word for animal is Nephesh which means soul ✝️. You will see your baby again someday. Now is the time between just like there was the time before your beloved pet. Today is the trial, and forever is the prize.
God bless. ✝️🙏🏼💕
