I am glad to hear you have found a wonderful home for all the dachsies, they will be well taken care of and you know you can see them when you want to, that will help you and Bill feel at ease about their future.
Poor Bill, enduring the pain instead of going to the ER but bless his heart I hope he can be helped by his doctor tomorrow, I will be thinking of him.
Tell him not to give up just yet, he still has plenty of life left to live and he may get to do some things he has been wanting to do. Keep us informed and good luck tomorrow.
