Farewell our faithful friend…

Today we had to make the difficult decision to put our sweet Waldo to sleep. He was 14 years old and has been declining rapidly the last couple of weeks. He was a wonderful dog. We got him from Brandon’s sister back in ’99, he was 4 years old at the time. He was a weiner dog mix, half long hair, half short hair, half mini and half full size. The dashchund’s were bred to hunt for badgers, that is why they are so short and long so that they could burrow through the ground. We would always joke that Waldo was in the backyard looking for badger’s, he would always run the perimeter of the yard and our backyard is full of  ‘badger’ holes.

He never once complained as we brought 3 more children and 5 dogs into our home. Goodbye Waldo, we love you!
