Angel was truly a sweet, loveable, partial long haired dachshund that fell in love with everyone she met. Never did anyone come her way that she barked or growled at. Yet, we always knew she was there to protect us.

We are fortunate that she is living on in her 2 daughters that we have, but still laugh at when she delivered pups and then Pooh, her one daughter delivered pups. Angel was the greatest mother. Pooh, on the other hand, gave hers to Angel to raise after only 2 days of feeding them. Angel, being the dutiful gracious mother, took over for Pooh and raised her puppies as well.

When Angel stopped eating last week, we knew there was a problem as Angel ALWAYS ate and never turned down food:) After 3 long, agonizing days in the doggy hospital, we were so lucky to bring her home for one last day with her family. She endured everything to make one last attempt at being with us if only for 15 more hours.
