flatsdoctor Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 yesterday discovered why our 12 yo Boxer (Boss) was limping. He had a bone cancer on his shoulder. This morning didn't he wait for me to get him down and jumped out of bed and fractured it. We had to put him down an hour ago. Last night as a farewell, I bought him a 3 lbs Tomahawk steak. he went to town with it. He'll be in "doggie heaven" with the other best friends that we lost this is him when younger 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddyBottomBluz Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Sorry to hear that Doc. Going through the same right now except with two dogs. One has cancer and the other is just old. It's ***! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lap it Up Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Sad to hear. I had a pedigree boxer growing up as a kid and teenager. Cancer took her down as well. She lived to be 14. What an awesome breed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemott Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Seems that more examples of cancer are showing up. Lost our Scottie to jaw cancer at nine years of age. New puppy is getting a special diet which we will monitor and see if it contributes to overall health and longevity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatsdoctor Posted October 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Thanks 🙏 guys Someone told me that if you want to know who really loves you, lock your spouse and your dog in the trunk of your car. Come back an hour later, open the trunk and see who’s happy to see you !! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaca Cut Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Sorry to hear about your Boxer flatsdoctor. In my opinion they are the greatest family dogs and companions. I know your grief right now. Had to put down my Boxer I rescued three years ago for heart failure at the age of 14, I had him for seven great years. Hurt me something awful to lose him. Two years ago I rescued another Boxer, his name is Remington and he's a 92 pound ball of fire that always wants to sit in my lap. Find you another Boxer to love, I'm sure its what "Boss" would want you to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
