Cancer everywhere. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] miked@piefed.social 7 points 1 day ago (1 child) My sister is on her third boxer. I don't know how she does it considering they rarely make it past ten years. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) Ten years is fantastic for a boxer (and probably a fortune in vet visits); if I recall correctly they start breaking down at around 6 or 7 years old.
