I was feeling sorry about not going to the nationals but just had a rotten day today .Hubby Ken has long haired standard dachshunds age 13,had to put down the male because of eye problems.When they don't have a quality of life you have to make some hard decisions.He became totally blind in both eyes with,ulcers,no tears and low pressure also panic attacks. Worked with an eye specialist for 3 weeks and he became worse not better.may he be met at the bridge by all of ours that have gone before. .Rest in peace now our pretty boy There are some days you wish never happen and this is one.
