I have always dreaded this day...

[MonicanHonda]

It's so amazing how fast they go. One day they are perfect sweet little angels... and the next... you just know it's time. Those last pictures you posted of him and his trip to the store made me so happy. I can't believe he's gone... Boxers were the only dogs Honda really loved... so I'm sure she's found him and is showing him the ropes up there. May they RIP together. Poor Duke <3

I'm so sorry this day had to come. It will be a year in March that I had to make that decision about my Cassie. Someone told me then that a dog's only fault was that they leave us too soon. You'll see sweet Duke again one day...I truly, truly believe that.

I am so sorry Duke passed away. The hardest thing in life is saying goodbye to a family member that gives us unconditional love.

RIP Duke, your memories will live on forever.

I am deeply sorry and sad for you and your family during this hard time. I KNOW how much Duke means to you, and it's never easy to let our furry friends go.
But please know that you did the right thing for Duke. You took excellent care of him his entire life, and took care of him when he was sick.... and you loved him so very much. He had a wonderful life with you and your family, it's obvious. Duke was a handsome boy, and he loved you.
(((((((BIG HUGS)))))))

Traci I seen this post yesterday and couldn't bear to reply because I started getting teary eyed just reading that he had passed and I didn't want to cry before going in to work. But now after reading what you've said the tears are flowing
There's nothing I can say to make it better just know I'll be thinking of you.

RIP Dear Duke

Many (((HUGS)))

I wanted to thank each and every one of you for your condolences. My home is not the same...neither is my heart. I keep trying to focus on all the good times I had because of Duke, then I get a smack in the face that there will be no more good times with him. We had gone to the dog park last Sunday, he enjoyed running around peeing on everything...twice. That was my Duke. I still cry every morning when I wake and realize he is gone.

Yesterday Chopper took a piece of his food out and put it on the blanket that Duke and Champ share and he started dancing around and playing with it just like he did when Duke was here, his game of teasing Duke trying to get him to take the piece of food. He was wagging his tail and looking in the direction where no one was. I like to think Duke was giving us a visit...

I'm very sorry to hear about Duke. You could tell just by looking at his pictures that he was a sweetheart of a dog. I hoped that you would have more time with him after his diagnosis, of course no matter how long it was it is never enough. I'm truly sorry to hear that he has passed and I know it has left a big hole in your heart, good-bye sweet Duke, you'll be missed by all of us.

Rest easy, sweet Duke.
You will be very missed here on PT and by many other, too.


((((Hugs)))) going out to Duke's family. I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry... and I bet Duke was there.. seriously.. he seemed such a sweet dog he wouldn´t want to leave you sad.. so he made sure you got the signs he was right there and won´t leave your side...

loosing a dog is awful.. be it 1 day, 1 year or 20... it always is hard

[shais_mom]

a little late but please accept my sympathy.
I am so sorry for your loss.
RIP Duke....

If only I knew a week ago today what I know now...I would have called in sick, spent the entire morning and early afternoon with you. It would not have mattered if it was spent at the park or the pet store or just lying on the floor snuggling together reminising.

Mommy misses you Boo.
