No matter how many times it happens, it never gets easier or hurt any less. Our beloved wiggle worm, Adibi, crossed the rainbow bridge on Friday. We had him in our lives for over 10 years, and trust me when I say that I wanted 10 more....then 10 more...then 10 more after that. He fit the boxer mold to a T: high energy, high love, high amount of kisses and snuggles, big goofy boy.
He had been diagnosed with cancer earlier last year and has been fighting it ever since. He spent the last year on Chemo trying to fight it away, and his health really regressed downhill the last month or so. He lost appetite, ability to control bodily fluids, and no amount of love and kisses and medicine was making him better. The decision was tough, but we knew he'd be done with the pain he was dealing with every day.
I sat down and explained to my 5 year old son and 3 year old daughter what was happening and the decision we had made. My daughter didn't quite grasp it, but my son did. He sat with me, with tears welling up in his eyes as I told him Adibi is going to the doggy hospital and they are going to help him get to doggy heaven (I used specific terms as to not associate hospitals with death). He took it in for a few minutes, and I asked him "Do you understand what's happening?" He said "yes", and I followed up "Adibi and I are going, but Adibi won't be coming back". And then with tears in his eyes, and his voice cracking he said "But I want him to come back". I lost it friends.... I never cried so hard in my life.
And so Adibi and I spent our last day together doing what he loves. He loved walks, but couldn't get out much because of the pain. But that day, he found the energy to come with me to pick our son up from the bus stop. He got unlimited snuggles and kisses, and a chance to say goodbye to everyone. He went one one last car ride (his favorite) with a stop at McD's for his last meal. He chose a double quarter pounder with cheese and french fries (good boy!). My boy was put to sleep in my arms while I cried a million tears. He's now playing with Copper (our other boxer who died a couple of years ago) as though they were puppies again. I will miss him....every day. It will get easier, and it helps to know I got one last day to spoil him rotten. RIP Buddy, you always were and always will be ....a good boye.

I want to be able to put moe down with his dignity.He has been the best dog I could have every wished for in 2007. I found Moe on his last day in the pound the pound was overfilled with pets needing homes so a woman was walking him.i pulled over and asked what kind of dog he was since he was huge and beautiful.she explained she was taking him on his last walk.he was set to be put to sleep that evening he tried to climb in my car window and I felt a instant bond with him . I played with him a few mins left and called the pound they said usually the don't have much information on them but Moe was a owner turn in there other dog didn't like Moe .Moe was already fixed potty trained chipped and had went threw training and he loved cats and kids with was a big deal since I had two kids at the time .we lived with my sister who had two cats. I went right to the pound played with him and took him home which was a big deal he was afraid of the car it took twenty mins and three people finially we were on our way I will never forget when we pulled in the driveway his tail was wagging and he was looking at my kids like those kids are my kids . Fast forward a few years we move cross country after a divorce he was shot by a nabior and almost died he had a gunshot that went all the way threw .6 holes in his intestines. I have never been so afraid in my life . He made it though . We ended up having two more kids and he has always been a great big brother to the kids. if someone is willing to lay on the floor he will be your pillow to watch movies with . I used to take in kittens that needed bottle feeding and he has always helped the babies .he has protected me from a javalina that tryed attacking me in the yard . We have been threw so much with him . We moved back cross country to our home town agian and Moe was here to. Recently he has started to slowly go down hill and I am disabled and have a hard time with bills due to a water leak that caused the bill to skyrocket it's fixed now but I'm having to pay off a 1700.00 water bill. I know that within the next few weeks Moe will have to put down I don't want him hurting . I'm hoping I can get some help to have him put down and creamated so we can keep him with us forever .I just can't think of our life without him he has been my kids everything my 14 year old is autistic and has ADHD she never talked tell we got Moe and Moe was the first word she ever said .he grew up with my 17 year old and my 7 and 5 year old thank you for reading this and anything will help god bless j
