Kavik Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Sox - my OH's family's dog, died on 29 December 2008 Sox was a typical Staffy - talkative, biddable, loved all people. Not keen on other dogs, but got along well with their Bull Terrier Sophie and best friends with their Burmese cat Pushka. He would woo woo and sing on command, and enjoyed trips to the family holiday home in Bulahdelah. He loved chasing a ball and of course was a big fan of food. This is what my OH's brother has to say about Sox - his dog After struggling through senility and living in constant silence due to deafness, in the early hours of December 29th Soxxie's heart gave and he passed away. He was due to be euthanized the following day because his body was failing but Sox would have none of that. He departed this world on his own terms and went peacefully in his sleep. I got him as a 10th birthday present and he was the greatest dog I've ever had the pleasure of knowing and I'm pretty sure everyone that knew him well would at least rate him in their top 5. I lost a loyal and great friend who, by the simple act of ramming his head into my lap or just wanting to be in the same room as me, could always bring a smile to my face. Rest in peace Sox. We miss you. Sox - 1994 - 29 December 2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mita Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 That was a beautiful tribute from Sox's dad. Wasn't he a good boy to make his own time to go to doggie heaven. It's almost as if he knew that would make it easier for his dad....who'd know Sox made his own decision. The photo is gorgeous....showing he sure loved food! No wonder everyone who knew him, loved him. My deepest sympathy on the loss of a truly great dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baifra Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 RIP handsome little Sox What a wonderful way for the old fella to pass over the bridge. At home where he was happiest and on his own terms. My thoughts are with you at this very sad time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
