It cannot have been easy to put your thoughts into words but you certainly did so eliquently. Best of luck to you and to Mouse, who I am sure will ultimately want another fur buddy who will follow in Hailey's footsteps. What a loving, heartfelt tribute to one of our beloved friends.

I just lost the Boxer of my Heart Candee in Nov. She nursed me thru Back and Neck surgery. Never leaving my side, Slept right next to me, touching me. She was the light of my life. It was because of her after surgery, when things are'nt going well, that i kept going. She left such a hole in my heart, I can' begin to describe it. I now have another Boxer, Maggie, sweet and clinging, but she is not my Candee. Candee will be buried with me, she is my heart. I can't Thank her enough for what she has given me. We had alot of fun and love together. She will Never be Forgotton by me. I can't wait to see her at the Bridge, waiting for me, all wiggles. Wait and look for me my Angel girl. Love & Kisses.

I recently, the day after Thanksgiving, lost my beloved friend of 10 plus years, Hailey. It warms my heart knowing she was greeted by Ripley at the bridge. Rest in Peace sweet Hailey & Ripley I realize this is months after but I wanted you to know that I know the saddness of losing a beloved friend.

It warms my heart knowing she was greeted by Ripley at the bridge.

Rest in Peace sweet Hailey & Ripley

Having just had to say goodbye to Matilda, my therapy boxer, I know too well to intense grief of making the most difficult decision in the world, even when you know in your heart it's the last way to show your best friend just how much you love them. May the pain in your heart be tempered with the good memories. I surfed here from the BML — what a beautiful posting of memories.

I knew you were partial to Ripley. I remember how you used to laugh when Ripley and I would play the 'foot game' and how you marvelled over that unbelievably long tongue. I guess you'd be amazed to learn that the little fart-knocker learned how to cheat at the 'foot-game'. The rules were that she could only get me by the hand, and I could only get her by the foot. She learned that if she licked at my face with that giant tongue - that I would pull back for a second to avoid the bath - and the second I did - the wise-ass would grab my hand. After she figured out how to cheat - I spent a LOT more time in the 'losers lounge' on the futon rubbing her ear than I did playing 'Doggie Bongos'. Hope you're getting filthy stinking rich as an agent now. Never stop loving Sammie. Late last night while I was trying to sleep - it occured to me that I didn't hug Ripley enough - or play with her enough - or rub her ears enough - and it made me strart grieving all over again. Never stop. Good to hear from you Chris.

I never knew much about Boxers until I met Ripley, and then I was hooked. In one moment she seemed so regal and then the next - a total goof ball. Although I didn't get to spend much time with her, I loved her. I remember that porcupine. How did it last that long? Because of Ripley, someday I will adopt a Boxer. I always wished I would get to see her again. I am so sorry that she is gone, but I am so grateful that you were there for her when she left. I have a dog now, and I can't imagine the grief you must be going through. You cared for her so perfectly. She had such a happy home. I still think about her even though it has been several years since I have seen her. In fact everytime I see a Boxer, I think of Ripley. I remember that game you used to play with her. It went like this: Whoever got to "3" first won the game. "3" being the third time either you got a hold of her paw while she was boxing at you or the third time she got your arm firmly in her mouth. If you lost, she would drag you across the floor to her futon and you would have to be nice to her and pet her for 5 minutes. If she lost, it was "Doggie Bongos - the ultimate in Dog Humiliation." That used to be so funny. You would pat her like you were playing the bongos and she would look so p*ssed off. But she loved to play it even if she lost. I do the Doggie Bongos thing with Sammie now when we are playing around. Well, I am rambling but so much came to my mind when I heard the news about Ripley. Thank you for letting me know. You, Megan, and Ripley will be in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry to hear about Ripley. I never knew much about Boxers until I met Ripley, and then I was hooked.
