Dear AADR, It is with a very heavy heart, that we write to tell you of Gus' (formerly Jasper 2) passing. It has taken a while to even be able to write this, and it still breaks our hearts to say that he finally lost his battle with Congestive Heart Failure. Gus was the most amazing pup in the world, and we were so blessed to have had him in our lives - even if it was not for nearly long enough. He was gentle, sweet, loyal and more loving than any other pup we've ever known. He was a fighter - when he was first diagnosed with CHF early this year the vets predicted he likely had a few months. Our Gus was so strong and brave, and with care and medication he made it almost nine months. For which we are so grateful. Although they had warned us, you can never truly be prepared to lose one of your best friends. His loss was and is devastating, but we are forever grateful to have had the honor of being his furever home. We all miss him so much every day, he made our home and family complete. We'd like to thank you for the amazing work you do and all the love and help you provide to the many dachshunds who need it. Thank you for saving Gus and completing our family by uniting him with us. - Jennifer and Patrick Keenan 
2007-2019 Last night, dear sweet Izzy had an awful seizure undoubtedly related to her cancer diagnosis. I could not bear to watch her suffer and took her to the ER vet at 3 a.m. She peacefully crossed to the Rainbow Bridge in my arms. Grace, Buster, Holly, and I are still shell shocked at her passing. We knew she was having “issues” the last few days, but that never prepares you enough. In January, Izzy survived ER surgery to remove her cancerous spleen. The vet predicted she had 1-2 months to live with the aggressive cancer. We were fortunate to have her for 8 months. It makes me smile knowing she had a large welcoming committee from 4 doxies she has shared a home and BIG bed with over the last 10 years. Marty, Callie, Mickey, and Faith will take good care of “The Iz”! RIP my sweet baby. You will be missed!!! :-) Meg

Our sweet boy Basil. Survived in a puppy mill for 8 years. We had him for 7 after that. He was rescued off a trailer by Diane and this boy sure could love deeply. Run free across the bridge big boy! Sit with Rolo, you will like him. Wait for us! 
Max 2005-2019 Have you ever had one of those dogs you had to work for? The kind who really didn’t trust and had a lot of quirks? Then, over time, you earn their trust and their love which just makes you love and appreciate them even more. This is the way it was with Max. I’ve had a few dogs in my time and I have loved them all; but Max was special to me in so many ways. There just aren’t words to describle how much I loved him, except to say, he was my heart, my weakness, my furry little love and there is now a big hole that he onced filled. I was only able to call him mine for 2 years, but he will be in my heart forever. |
