I wanted to thank all the people who sent such loving comments about my beautiful boxer Zeta.
Your words made me cry and laugh! So many heartfelt comments from you all and from many dog lovers who have been through the same experience. My only regret is not having the time to reply to you all.
To my fellow boxer owners enjoy those special moments every day!
Zeta was cremated today with me there.
The last act I could do for her. I will now think about have her close to me with some of her ashes in a neclace or jewellery so she's with me everyday.
God bless all you kind hearted people.

A very beautiful photo. How lovely that you were with her for the final act, I didn't know you can attend the cremation. She'll be with you always Take care xx
Rob,I never thought of cremation.When my darling dog had to be euthanized it was an emergency at home.Vet was so good and told me to bury her in the garden.My ex was there as he loved her too so he dug a deep grave and we wrapped her in her favourite blanket and buried her.I think of her everytime I go in the garden.xx
What you did sounds beautiful. It's just so important to have them close after they have passed.Im going to get my paw tattoo of zeta and some kind of jewellery so she's close.
I had my cat Daisy's ashes put in a wooden casket shaped like a curled up cat. The casket rested on our tv table in our previous house. When we moved earlier this year, she was placed in the beautiful box from the crematorium and travelled with me in the car. She now has pride of place on our mantelpiece. It brought us comfort when she came back from the crematorium.
I Missed your post about his. I am really sorry. Having had dogs now for 53 years I know how painful it is. I lost one of my girls in January with only 2 days warning that anything was wrong. The vet was going to operate on a small tumour when she had a massive heart attack. Completely unexpected and devastating. Your boxer will visit you from time to time to make sure you areok. I used to often see my special girl in the kitchen doorway or hear her claws tip tapping.
Your comments really hit me and I have to admit I've had yet another cry! Not good for my daily angina but I can't help how it's feeling. As I go through my heart issues right now it's my dog who would of been there sitting with me.
And like you I'm looking for those little paw steps and that bark that was an alarm to the other dogs and the constant walking around the house watching everyone and keeping everything in check.
Don't look for her; she will come at the most unexpected moments. I see my Pop ( see my screen name) in the kitchen doorway out of the corner of my eye when I start to feed my other dog. I hear her barking in the garden. One day while making teh tea, I absent-mindedly held out a bit of carrot behind me for the other dog. She took it from my hand but when I turned round that dog was lying in the conservatory nowhere near me. It's always when you are not expecting it; that brush against your leg or just the pressure of them leaning on you. Let the tears out, there's nothing wrong with that. Do a Google for the poem by Pam AYres called "Tippy Tappy Feet"- says it all. I edit our breed's annual magazine and she personally wrote to me to allow me to use it in the magazine. It does get better in time but they never go. I don't see Pop so often now; she's been gone 2 years but she was my heart dog.
