Bye Lilbit

This is our last day with Lilbit.  We decided a week or two ago that it was time to give him away because he was biting/scratching at Trey and also just the chaos of having a dog in a condo with two little kids.  Anyways, there have been many times lately when I've been so angry and ready to lock the dog outside... but at the same time he has been with us ever since we got married.  We bought him a few weeks after we got married and he was only 6 weeks old.  Now he's 5!  We'll be taking him tomorrow morning to a lady who belongs to the Maryland Dachshund Rescue Mission.  I feel like this is the best option.  They are very careful about who they give dogs to for a adoption and obviously people contacting them will specifically want a dachshund.  Lilbit also really needs surgery for a hernia and we just can't afford to do that.  So this way he can get the care he needs.  I'm sure he will end up with a good new family.  As crazy as it has been lately, we will miss him and I'm sure we will be tearing up tomorrow morning. 

Good memories about our dog... always cuddled with us, licked our face.  When I was pregnant he would always stay by my side especially as if he was protecting me.  He and Trey were buddies and played fetch and chase all the time.  He would lay at Ethan's feet when Ethan was play on the floor.  He had the funniest howl!  We had lots of fun trips to the park with Lilbit and it was always fun to watch him run around without his leash, his ears flapping.  He wouldn't stop running... but he always just went in circles and stayed with us (for the most part;-)).  Most of all we will miss how he always wanted to cuddle with us!

Here are some pics of Lilbit... I guess a little farewell tribute to him!
