DALTON was our beloved pet for 7 yrs. he was my
husbands best friend and my bed time pal! Our kids
loved him so much. Dalton was the first pet that my
husband and I bought together at the time I was
pregnant with our first daughter who we knew would
need a pet! So Dalton was the choice. a cute little
boxer puppy!!! we went through a lot with Dalton from
being hit by a car twice and running away to having
to have emergency surgery on Christmas night he came
through it all until he started to get bad hips and
knee's which is common with the breed of dog he was.
it got to the point to where is was snapping at the
kids and me ,so once again at Christmas time we had
had put Dalton to sleep. On December 26, 2001 I found
Dalton under my new born son's crib bleeding from his
mouth and nose I knew this was the end so I took him
to the vet where they told me that it was an ulcer and
that there was nothing that they could do so me being
by myself had to make the decision to have Dalton put
to sleep as I sit here typing this I still feel so
guilty for doing what I did somebody please tell my
head to tell my heart that I did the right thing! It
has been 7 months and I am still not over my grieving
I do not think that I will never be over it. I went
in the room with my Dalton dog and watched as he took
his last breath and hearing his lifeless body hitting
the floor was so horrible I want to take that moment
in time a erase it from , my memory just to have him
here for one more day to love him and kiss him and
tell him that I am sorry , just to smell his smell
one more time or to kiss his big wet lips or to touch
his wet nose I WANT HIM BACK ! I know that memories
last a life time but I wish life lasted forever saying
goodbye is the hardest thing to do, how do you go home
to your kids with out there pet and fighting back you
heartbreak because you don't want to upset your 4 yr
and 6 yr but the pain is just too much. so we cried
together for days (me I still cry sometimes at night
when I miss him the most) We decided it was best to
get another dog for our oldest daughter because she
was having a tough time with losing Dalton he was all
she knew, so we now have a 11 week old boxer named
HADES so now we can make more memories,
