I am sorry for your loss.. It is never an easy decision to put your dog to sleep. Something that has not been mentioned and I could be reaching, but maybe she had a health problem...My Rottie Diesel was 3 yrs old when I had to put him to sleep, he also was a mix, Rottie & Boxer.. we called him a Roxer..lol...He got sick from his spine collapsing into itself. The only reason I knew something major was wrong was he got "snappy" with our Boston Terrier sometimes. He also started to withdraw...I made the decision to put him to sleep because I did not want him to suffer and I knew that if he ever bit anyone on accident he would feel awful, as would I.. Know that Roxie is now in no pain and is happy...Sometimes the best decision is the hardest..My heart goes out to you...
