Sorry for you're loss Mike,
I had to do the same about 2 years ago,
My 1st Boxer got a tumor on the brain and after spending thousands at Angel Memorial Animal hospital I had to put her down 9 months later.
I'm looking out my window in my yard where she is burried as I typs this.
My wife and I said at the time , No more dogs for a long time, but less than 2 weeks later we picked up our boxer puppy .
The joy our new puppy brought us really helped with dealing with our loss.
