Still a really hard decision. Cutting the bone and putting an implant for life for a ligament tear doesn't really sit well with me still, but it was the best option over a lateral suture or letting him live with a lame leg.

I get that for sure. You love your boy and did what you knew was best.

Get your pup on fish oil and joint supplements (dasequin) going forward. Arthritis is a given long-tem after the surgery, but supplements will help reduce it. Also, be prepared for the other one to go at some point - it's a high likelihood that if they do one, they'll do the other. |

Man, don't mess with sketchy breeders. Trust your instincts.
I don't know where that puppy is going but apparently it won't be home with me. |

My new rescue
So we had my nephew's wedding at my house on Independence Day. While we were preparing the house, the bride's sister was inside and saw my 3 boxers. She manages the humane shelter in Holton and they just so happened to have a boxer that needed a home. He was an old boy (they thought 6-8 years) and was emaciated because they said they couldn't get him to put on any weight. I have a soft spot for boxers so I figured why not give him a home for the remaining few years he has.
This pic is not the greatest but it does kind of show how skinny he was when we got him. You could clearly see his hip bones and ribs. And no, he's not allowed on the furniture normally. I just thought it was funny the way he was curled up and looking at me. |

Here he is after a couple of weeks. He was just 51lbs when we got him. He has since gained 10 lbs. He's just as tall as the other boxer in this pic, Chief. But Chief is a good healthy weight of about 70lbs or so (haven't checked his weight in a few months). From what I was told, they hadn't been caring for him much. He's a good dog and well behaved for the most part. I can't understand how people can treat them that way. Also, we have him on good food now, so that helps.

I'm good - I have another puppy lined up from someone here I trust. Should have just used a CPer to begin with.
