Rescued from Atlanta Pet Rescue, and moved back to Wisconsin with us.
Hank is not a big fan of the cold weather. But, that’s beside the point.
He’s a great dog and friendly toward everyone.
Great companion for wife, kids and me.
That is why we made the (financially) difficult decision to go ahead with back surgery on Monday after he somehow herniated a disc over the weekend.
He’s pretty stressed out right now. My wife and kids just brought him home from a very expensive week at the vet.
Please keep Hank in your thoughts over the coming weeks - as we are hoping for a speedy recovery.

Thanks, and lots of wags given to all you dog people.

Our dachshund had back surgery about 8-9 years ago. He had some nerve damage, but is about 97-98%. For Dachshunds, back problems are really common. I wonder if the Basset in Hank contributed to his issue. Anyway, Sherlock wanted me to tell you to tell Hank, not to worry, the drugs are good and he'd be back up and at 'em in no time.
