14 years ago my then wife brought home a dachshund. he was a fantastic dog. he all was had love for people. he got older and couldnt do some of the things he could before. last week on the 10th he got so sick, we took him to the doctor. the short story is we had him put under. it is so hard to talk about i had to wait till now to post this. i know many of you have gone through this kind of thing. if you have a dog go hug and kiss him , cause you dont know how long they will be with us.
