for valentine's day, we rescued a 10 year old mini piebald dacshund (sp?). He had been used in a puppy mill and then just tossed into a shelter for dead. We went and saw him, and took him home that day. The next day, we took him to the vet and turns out, he had most of his teeth were rotten and had to be pulled, and he had walked on the wire grate of a pen so long that his feet were flat. Anyway, this morning, at 8:15, he crawled out from under our back gate and made his way into the street in front of our house and was hit by a car. He died instantly.

And although we had him less than a month, he became a part of our family

Rest In Peace Waylon, we'll see ya at the Bridge

i love dachsunds. i miss Schnitzel.

did he have any problems eating with the teeth issue? my dog couldn't eat anything due to his teeth and gum disease. we did all we could to prevent it and help him. in the end, we figured it'd be better for him if we put him to sleep.

heh, funny you say that name, we just about named him that, :)

he did have a little trouble, but we fed him the frozen Bil-Jac and that seemed to work for the little guy

Sorry to hear that, Cooter - but you can certainly take solace in the fact that you did everything you could to make him happy for his last days.

A puppy mill? As in some sketchy breeding? If y'all don't already know, NEVER get a cat or dog or some say any pet from a pet store. If you want a pure bred, straight from the breeder. If you're like me i.e. you like mutts, half-breeds, and critters that need a little help, head to your local animal shelter. Props to you Cooter for adopting this little guy.

You guys are good people. I hate to hear stories like that, keep chugging along and get another dog if you feel up to it. They can make horrible days seem a little better. I'm sorry.
