dachshunds, four I had to let go the past four years. 11-22 were their ages. It is a deep hole they leave. You gave them a beautiful send off. I know your baby is around you now. I still hear their nails clicking on the floor at night. I wish you peace. You and your son are in my thoughts. Take care. Time is your only friend now.
