Rascal
Our 14-year-old dachshund, Rascal, crossed the rainbow bridge on October 6th at 11:15 pm. He was dearly loved and will be forever missed.
Rascal was diagnosed with CHF (congestive heart failure) earlier this summer when he collapsed in the yard and lost all mobility in his legs. We rushed him to the vet, and there we were told he suffered some back spasms. They found he had CHF, which was a factor with his age and condition.
Sadly, the vet also informed us that with the CHF, Rascal would be lucky to live another 2 years. Though this news was sad and his passing was quite sudden, my wife held him close till the very end; she had raised him from a pup. We will, for the rest of our days, embrace the wonderful memories he gave us.
October 7th Rascal’s body made the last journey to the Fairlea Animal Hospital here in West Virginia. We made the final arrangement to have his body cremated.
On October 14th Rascal finally came home, we had gotten a sympathy card from the vet’s office with Rascal’s paw print on the inside of the card. They have been very good to our fur babies and we thank them for all they do for them.
