It is with much sadness that I say my Millie has gone onto the Rainbow Bridge July 30, 2009.

On July 29th I had taken her to the animal hospital with hopes that they would keep her overnight or two. We wanted them to give her some, well anything it get her stronger and maybe the medicine in her because I was having a tough time of it. Then, thinking if it was the Boxer colitis once she was one the medicine she would kick in she would start feeling better I could bring her home.

The Doctor thought that it was really cancer because she had already been on most of the medicine and it wasn't working. They said doing a biopsy was the only way to tell for sure what it was. AND, since she was on the this one med that I can not spell the test would not be accurate. She said they could keep her over night while we talked about it. I brought her home for the last time....

That night she ate some Ben and Jerry's ice cream (small amount) and some yogurt. I tried to sneak in some of the beef baby food but she didn't want it. She slept in her bed (s) that night I had been sleeping in the morning room with her in case she had to go out or had an accident since it is hardwood. The next morning I took her outside and we watched will ride his bike, he had just learned to ride a two wheeler! Lots of love, hugs and kisses.

The Vet was great really .. the took her back for an IV thingie and brought her back in the room then gave her something to sleep first. I held her and with my hand on her heart and she was gone.

She was my first real all my own pet! She was crazy, wild and a bit weird!! She helped me through so much I will be forever grateful for my Millennium Angel 11-13-99 7-30-09.

She is whole, happy and healthy again! My friend said she can eat as many crayons as she wants now :) ... prettiest poop in doggy heaven!

Thank you all for being here! You are the best!! I hope this makes some sense as I am typing through tears sad ones and happy memory ones.

(((hugs))) to all your pooches for me!

{{{{Laura}}}} it is with a heavy heart and many tears that I read this tribute to ^Millie^.  I felt like she was one of my own as we got to know her and you so well on this board.  I'm so sorry from the bottom of my heart that this had to happen.  I hope that one day the pain of ^Millie's^ passing will ease enough for you to be warmed by your many wonderful memories of her.  My heart goes out to you and your family.  Run happy and free Miss ^Millie^.

A candle for Millie.  I'm so sorry. 

Not even ten years.  That's not enough time.  We never have enough time.

Hugs.

I'm so sorry Laura. My heart just aches for you but I know Millie is in a better place right now. If it hadn't been for Greta emailing me I wouldn't have known you were on FB and that's how I found you and was able to read up on Millie. I continue to place you in my prayers. (((hugs)))

(((Laura))) I'm so very sorry for your loss. ^Millie^ was a special girl and I know she'll be missed. She was larger than life! I know you have a big hole in your heart and in your life without her. I wish there was something I could say or do to help.  Keeping you and Will and your dh in my thoughts & prayers.

Lighting a candle for ^Millie^!

Young again & waiting at the bridge.
