Surgical options had a poor outlook and since she was 10 & 1/2, diabetic and blind we decided that it would be wrong to put her through a surgical procedure that would most likely fail. Right now we're reeling from the suddeness of losing her but life goes on and God willing we will meet again one day. I'm attaching a picture of her in her finery as Queen of the Michigan Basset Rescue Waddle. In her time she raised thousands of dollars for basset hound rescue.
