Our little dog, "Becki" (front) is 15 1/2 years old and she is quite sick this weekend. She somehow cut the inside of her mouth and she is in much pain because of an infection. Her son, "Fritzie" (back) is 12 years old and he is definitely concerned about his Mama. My son took this picture last night with his cell phone camera as they were lying on a doggie pad in front of the fire. They are long-haired miniature Dachshunds. Fritzie will not allow anyone but me or my son to approach Becki. He knows she is too weak to defend herself. Chivalry at its best.
UPDATE 4:55 PST:
Becki passed away in my arms just a few minutes ago. She has been a wonderful pet and a dear dear friend. I am so sad.
