I had the sad news last night that my parents' 12-year-old boxer dog, Roxy, has been PTS due to kidney failure. She had a stroke earlier this year and had been poorly for a while, but it's still come as a terrilble shock - I was 15 and still living at home when they first adopted her, so she felt like my pet as much as theirs. I hope she meets up with my Matilda on the bridge :'(

Rest in Peace ^Roxy^
Sending you a hug Berties Mum
I am sure ^Roxy^ was met by ^Matilda^ xxxxx

Thanks Michelle :hug:

Sorry to hear about Roxy, Boxer's are such a special breed, my first dog and never forgotten.
Have fun at the Bridge with Matilda Roxy. :candle:
-
Thanks both. I took Bertie to the vet on Saturday, and it's the same vet where my parents took Roxy, but she was put to sleep by the emergency vet so they hadn't yet heard what had happened. When I told the vet he was really upset and said he would get the receptionist to organise a sympathy card for my parents, which I thought was lovely.

So sorry :hug:
RIP Roxy

Thanks everyone for your kind words about Roxy, and I just wanted to give an update to you all. After quite a lot of soul-searching (particularly my dad, who was devoted to Roxy), my parents decided that the house was too empty without a pet and that they could still offer another dog a very good home. They live quite near a boxer rescue centre and went to have a look, thinking they might well come away empty handed. They told the staff all about Roxy - a white boxer - and they were desperate to introduce my parents to Lily, a one-year-old white boxer who had been dreadfully abused by her previous owners and was being ignored by most visitors to the centre because she's white and because she's skin and bones. The inevitable happened - they fell in love, they took her home ... she's not Roxy but she's fitting in beautifully and seems overwhelmed by the kindness now being shown to her. If one good thing has come out of Roxy's departure, it's that Lily is getting another chance at life.

so glad your parents could help Lily as one door shuts another one definately opens
-
That is magnificent some good news for a change
Really pleased that your parents have offered Lily a home and in time for Christmas
That has really lifted my spirits for the day
:xmas: to Lily and her new family
-
That's wonderful news for everyone
-
Ahh how wonderful ... so pleased your parents have offered Lily a forever home.
RIP Roxy and please look out for Lucy (cat) who went to the bridge today xxx

I agree with that Dawn. I miss my Matilda every day but I know I wouldn't ever have even known about Bella without Matilda going to the Bridge, let alone have given her a forever home. I like to think that Matilda and Roxy are together on the Bridge now. I was thinking about them both the other day and saw a rainbow a few minutes later :(

Very sorry to hear about Roxy :hug:

RIP Roxy, safe and sound at the Bridge xx
