Over the last 30 yrs we've had probably 10+ dogs.. most were rescued from the pound. All but 3 were eventually put down due to health problems. Most of them were gotten as pups and lived to be over 13 yrs old. Our 15 yr old dachshund died in her sleep on the foot of my bed. Another older dachshund had a siezure and then died about 15 minutes later while at the dinner table begging for food. It is never easy. But with pound hounds, you give them extra yrs they wouldn't have had any other way. The last one was 1 day away from being put down when we recued her... and she ended up living another 6+ yrs with us. She was blind, missing a lot of teeth, pee'd in the floor... and had a really loving personality. We had her cremated. Her remains were put in a nice little plastic box. My mother loved that little dog so much that she said if her time ever came [Heaven forbid!], she wanted the little dog's ashes put at the foot of her coffin.</p></blockquote><p></p>
