ROXY
MVP had to have his beloved dog Roxy put down on Tuesday. She had hip problems early on and that was just the beginning of her issues related to congenital joint defects. Though he worked hard to keep her healthy with supplements and physical therapy, in the end it was not enough.
She was, as MVP, said, “The best dog ever.” Everybody that knew her said so, and she will be sorely missed.
Oh, so very sorry for you all. What a beautiful dog she was! It hurts.

What a blow to the gut and the heart. I'm really sorry.
I remember when I was 19, and my parents called me at college to tell me they'd had to put down our family dog--the sounds of my sobs echoing down the stairwell in the dorm as I talked on the payphone unnerved a lot of people. It's such agony. I'm thinking of you all tonight.

Losing a beloved pet is heartbreaking. I'm sure Roxy will always be remembered. I'm going to share something that a friend sent me when we lost Mindy.
...."It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life, gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are."---
