Kaiser passed away in my arms at home two weeks ago, just shy of his 13th birthday, and just six weeks after losing our beagle, Jack.
We still have three dachshunds, but one is 15 and on heart medication. She's eager to fill the void with a Berner pup, but I'm not emotionally ready for another. I understand Kaiser made her feel secure. He was a gentle giant but could be incredibly intimidating when necessary.
