This is not news I want to share with あなた all. This is not news I ever wanted to share, but Roxy passed away on March 6, 2019 around 7:00 in the morning. I never expected this so soon.
Roxy had recently been 表示中 signs of being sick. The vet determined that she had kidney failure. She also had cancer in one of her kidneys. The vet 発言しました that it could be removed, but the problem was there is no local vet who does that kind of surgery. The nearest veterinary surgeon is five hours away. That kind of trip would've been too hard on Roxy. The vet also 発言しました that removing that kidney would not prevent her from having to eventually go on dialysis. I don't want to remember sweet Roxy hooked to a machine. I'd rather remember that bouncy Staffordshire ブル テリア going bonkers when we first got Roscoe, the motherly dog who took care of River, and the dog who protected my aunt when she had her appendix removed.
This isn't the first dog I've lost. I have been through this four times before, but it never gets easier. The loss of a beloved pet is not something one "gets over". The individual just learns to deal with life without that beloved pet. I have to learn to go on with life without Roxy. I loved her very much, and I miss her. I'll always miss her, but I know that I have to keep on living. I have great フレンズ like RocknRollSoul60 (Paul) and 60smusicluv (Jan). I also made wonderful フレンズ here. I know I have so much support. Paul was with me when Roxy was euthanized. He told me that he felt he needed to be with me for support. She went very peacefully, and she's not sick anymore. She's playing with her best friend, my Rottweiler, Stone, who passed away last year.
I will assure あなた that I'm not going to disappear. I'm not going anywhere. I'll also tell あなた that River and Roscoe are doing okay. They are mourning the loss of their matriarch, but they don't seem depressed. I think what helps is they have each other. They also have a friend in Paul's dog, Piper, and Jan's dog, Specs.
Run free, Roxy. I 愛 you.

Paul's Special Friend
I first met Erin through Allie. From the sad look in her eyes, I knew that Erin needed a friend. As we got to know each other, she opened up about losing her best friend, Barry. She said, "My poor excuse of a grandfather shot Barry. I offered to get help for him, but he wouldn't let me leave him. I guess he didn't want to die alone." I hugged her and said, "I'm sorry. I know what pain you're going through. I ロスト my best friend, too. For the longest time, I blamed myself, because Alice and I were playing in the river. It was my insistence. I miss her sometimes, but I'm okay." Erin and I became really close as time passed. She was even passionate about 音楽 like I was. There was once when we got into a big argument, but our friendship was stronger, and we've remained best フレンズ ever since. One day, when we were in high school, we put our heads together, and we decided to start a band. Of course, the challenge was finding other members.

It was summer, and I was back at ホーム helping my parents with the farm. The summer was really fun, and I really enjoyed it. Hillel and I kept in touch throughout the summer. One day, when we talked over the phone, I said, "My parents 発言しました it was okay with them. I wanted to ask あなた if あなた would like to share an apartment with me this year. I don't want to go through another bad roommate experience." He said, "I'd 愛 to! I'll go ask my parents if it's okay." There was silence for a long time. After a long time of silence, I heard Hillel's voice again. He said, "I'm back. They 発言しました that since it was okay with your parents, it was okay with them." I said, "That's great." Toward the end of the summer, we moved into our apartment. I was glad that I didn't have to put up with a roommate listening to rap 音楽 and refusing to turn it down. I later learned that Hillel was a very valuable roommate. I never knew that one day, he would end up saving my life.
