Today Odin, our beloved, almost ten-year-old boxer, crossed the Rainbow Bridge. The problems with his back had made him lose control of his hind quarters causing him to fall over and over again as he tried to walk from house to yard and back. He was cheerful and loving to the very end.Odin was a six week old puppy when he joined our household. He had the biggest feet of any puppy I'd ever seen along with a bold, confident attitude. He easily joined our family and after putting our rottweiler puppy in her place when she bowled him over one too many times, they became inseparable friends. He made friends with the farm goats and chickens and slept with the household cats. We were all members of his pack. He made it his duty to warn us of all approaching strangers with a wonderful deep, loud bark. We always felt safe while he was on duty. In spite of his huge bark, he was a friendly, people loving teddy bear. A cheerful clown from beginning to end, he filled our lives with love and slobbery kisses.
We miss him desperately.

I'm so very sorry Mom. He was such a good, loving, and cheerful dog. I just know that he's having a wonderful time right now in heaven running around on all of his feet. Probably chasing dragonflies. Love you tons and hope you're doing okay. xoxo
