I had to put Gizmo to sleep today know she is not a Dachshund she was my Papillon for 15 & 1/2 year she just quit eating had not eaten since last Wednesday when I had her at the vets they told me her teeth were not that bad not bad enough to keep her from eating. I told them about her dementia/Alzheimer's not knowing us and having to wear a diaper 24/7, her heavy panting at times. Tried giving her Jimmy Dean sausage her favorite, then boiled chicken breast would not touch it she use to weigh 7#6 oz today she weighed 6# 6 oz. a pound is allot for a tiny dog to loose.She was walking around in the back yard she quit that about 2 weeks ago. I fixed her up in a boot box of my husbands put two of her beloved Yapple balls in with her and Jake my Bouvier's ashes so she would not be alone.Buried her at my mother in laws place. A sad Day but is a way glad it is over she really was not my little Gizmo anymore not for some time.Hope that does not sound bad of me but I think she is now better off running and playing ball in the heavens.

I'm so sorry!! We are thinking of you and your family! :comfort:
I'm sorry to hear of your loss.
It doesn't matter what kind of furbaby (or furless for that matter) captures our hearts, it is sad to let them go, even if we are doing the right thing.
Martin Luther once said, "If there is no laughter in Heaven, I don't want to go there." Well, if there are no animals in Heaven, I don't want to go, either."
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I am sorry for your loss.
She is still your baby - Godspeed to Gizmo - I am so sorry for your loss.
Gizmo is now at peace and be at peace yo did all you could. To have not had Gizmo in your life would ahve been worse.
Love and HUgs roberta
I am sorry for your loss. :comfort: I think it is a very compassionate thing to let them go and be happy and free again.
I'm so sorry about Gizmo. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
You made a very loving decision for Gizmo. Our condolences for your loss. It is never easy, but it is the most loving thing we can do for our furkids. She is now running free with her ball at the Bridge, with our dearest and best, who have gone on before.
Have you thought of making a memory book as many do. The organizing and preparation will help you heal, although I don't think that is ever complete.
So sorry to read about your loss. It's soooo tough but you did the right thing for Gizmo. You knew when to let go. What a great Mom you are.
So sorry!! No matter how it happens it is hard and having to make the decision is the hardest. There are times when we know that we have no other choice. We have to let them go. Just know that Gizmo is now healthy and happy and patiently waiting for you.
