We found out a couple of years ago that he had some problems. He was starting to yipe when you'd pick him up, so we took him to the vet. Since he was a dachshund, we figured that he had the famous back problems that all dachshunds seem to get. The dr did an x-ray, and found a golf ball sized tumor on the underside of his spine. We didn't have it biopsied, as it was in an inoperable place, fused to his spine. It did fracture two vertebra, but as long as he was comfortable, then we didn't have to put him down.
Starting yesterday, he started to whine a lot, and he was limping and crying a lot. We decided to wait and see what today would bring, and it was the same. So we made the appointment. It was quick and painless, and he passed on while being held in my arms.
I'm heartbroken, and I don't think it's fully hit me yet. We buried him in the backyard, in his favorite spot. He would always lay in one spot, right where the sun would hit him. I loved that dog. He was with me since the beginning. From overseas, through a bad marriage and finally to where I found my Prince Charming and my happily ever after.
Rest in peace, Jasper Binx. Mommy loves you. Thank you for being the best damn dog there ever was. Whatever dog comes after you has huge paws to fill.

I know what it means to loose a dog, and what it means when you have to put them to sleep. but you know you have done the best you could. and the last thing was the extreme sign of love. he's not in pain anymore. xox. d.
Oh crap. I'm so sorry, Jennifer. Though it isn't easy (at all!!) you know you did what was best for him. I hope your heart mends quickly.
i am so very sorry for your loss
Oh that sweet doggie. I'm so sad for you, Jen. :(
Jasper was probably greeted by my 4 favorite dogs whom I love still to this day - Barkley, Abbey, Chipper & Murphy. He's in great company and in no pain now! I'll keep you in my prayers and thoughts since I know how badly you must be hurting.
I'm so sorry :(
We found out our Bassett has gone blind in one eye & will eventually lose sight in the other as well. The vet says when that happens he will have to be put down. It breaks my heart just thinking about it. I hope you find peace & comfort in your memories.
Oh no : ( I am sooo so sad for you and your loss. Peace and healing to your family. I lost a dog in February, and I know no one can say anything to make it easier but... time and fond memories will bring you peace. Much love!
I'm so sorry for your loss, its never easy but at least he is no longer in pain, sending warm wishes.
Oh, Jen, I'm so sorry for your loss.
Well who decided to cut onions in my face? :( So sorry for your loss. But I'm sure he appreciated that you were there for him up to the very end.
We put our cat down in the summer, so I know exactly how you feel. So sorry for your loss. They are such a part of the family, that it breaks your heart when they leave.
SOOOOO sorry for your loss. :'( Praying for you and your family.
I'm so sorry to hear this! My dog is my best friend (2nd only to my hubs of course). Rest your heart and know that he lived the best life ever because you loved him!
I wish your dog will find heavenly good bones, and a big hug to you for you loss... hope you will find another great mate soon
Aw. My doxie is so special, I can only imagine what you're going through. Take care....
Oh I am so very sorry for your loss! I have been a long-time lurker and have prayed for your family through your daughters most recent medical trials. Thinking of you and your family!
