So sorry to hear pipeThanks guys, I really appriciate the support. Paid my respects with a proper burial out by other miniature dachshund mix Leroy who passed away in March. They're layed to rest in the woods by the edge of the field and the creek camping site trail.
It really is interesting how these things creep up on you when you don't expect them. You know something is going to happen eventually. Its just a slow progression, then one day its getting to be time to go. I had been having to prop him up to eat, he was getting so weak, it was hard to sit up. I just thought it was the arthritis, but I didn't notice he had been losing weight. He has had to be picked up from sitting to be able to walk for a couple years. He didn't quit so I didn't quit taking care of him. He took good care of me.
Awesome friend, he went gardening with me when I first started the Sativa Candy Chunk project!!! It was on someone elses property he walked out there with me in the middle of the night to garden and loved it! Very well behaved. Stayed quiet, guerilla ganja dog!
I still have the miniature dauschund, Bonnie, she's about 10 and needs a friend now. Will be keeping my eye open for new friends! Would like another 50-70 lb shepherd mix. Puppy or less then 1 year old. They are great dogs. Will protect me and my mini dauchshund.
