Condolences appreciated, guys. And sorry for the downer post. It was weird not having her tuck me in last night. She really was a great dog -- I know, everyone says that. Got her from the Humane Society as an owner surrender. They claimed she was relocated after hurricane Katrina but I suspect she was used as breeding stock and discarded at around 5 years old. I was actually at the pound because they had a litter of GSD puppies but was struck by the fact that in the midst of all the barking, whining, and general confusion, she was the only dog there that was relaxed. When I asked about her I was told she was on hold and her new owners would be picking her up in the morning. I asked if I could be second in line and was thrilled when the called me to say the other people never came back. After a couple days of adjustment it was like she'd always been with us. I was shocked at how well behaved she was too. No barking, jumping, licking, digging, chewing, wandering, and never met a stranger. We were blessed with her company for almost 6 years. For a Boxer/Mastiff mix, she had a pretty long life.
