Sorry to hear. And seems we're in sync. My ex called the vet to come to the house to put down our Boxer of 11 years. We got Lucy as an 11 week old puppy from a breeder out in the sticks near Livermore. She started in our apt in Berkeley, then moved with us to Claremont, Pasadena, the West LA. She stayed at the house when I moved out. Boxers are phenomenal dogs..."spring loaded" is how I always described her. By they time she hit 10 she was very gray and not walking well...mostly just slept. My ex got a new dog (a 6 mo old Boster Terrier) and Lucy perked up quite a bit, playing with the new dog, then sleeping hard. But evidently the last few months she got to where she couldn't get up on her own to go out to the bathroom, and when she did, she'd get stuck on the stairs up to the grass. My ex called last week and I told her I'd split the cost of the vet, and that Lucy should go at home. And Friday she did.
