Very sad day. My oldest dachshund Ginger, who was 14, passed away early this morning. She had developed kidney problems and had been on medication for the last couple of years. Her condition started getting worse over the last few days, and her kidneys finally gave out.
We have a lot of great memories of Ginger: She had a deep bark that used to alternate with the others’ so the barking was ‘up-down-up-down’. And she would spin around quickly numerous times if she thought she was getting food. As she got older she grew very sensitive to touch, so just a little light scratching on neck would cause her to curl up sideways and her back foot just a kickin’. She will live in our hearts for a long, long time. She was a great, loving dog, had a very good life, and will be deeply missed.
