My baby boys...
Almost two weeks ago, a few days after Christmas, my parents surprised us with a new dachshund puppy, Benny. I'm obsessed. He's the most gorgeous, adorable, snuggly, playful little puppy ever. I was so excited for him and Charlie to hopefully become friends. But the other night Charlie suffered a slipped disc in his back (which is common with dachshunds because their backs are so long and unsupported) and was basically paralyzed in both of his back legs. As the vet advised, we're bringing him in tomorrow morning to stop his suffering and put him to sleep. I'm gonna miss my little baby Charlie. He's just 2 weeks shy of 12 years old... that's ancient for a small dog like him. He's had seizures, he has diabetes, cataracts in his eyes, deafness, you name it. But he's still to this moment the most intelligent and incredibly sweet dog you'll ever meet. This may sound cheesy, but dogs really are man's best friend. Charlie has been with me through so much in my life. My house is going to feel so empty without him. I love you baby boyy.
