I put down my last female the day I went to Bermuda, August 4th. She was a rescue that had very, very bad hip problems (her femral heads were removed at 9 months old so she could simply walk) and eventually blew out both of her cruciate ligaments (like a human ACL). She was also 10 years old, but her quality of life was very degraded because of her leg problems. It was her time to go.
