More on Hannibal
Once more here is more news on Hannibal the Cannibal…I cannot stop feeling the relief of a lifetime at having him home , and it makes my heart fairly burst to see him wagging his tail and hopping up on the bed( which we have lowered to only matresses for his comfort until his staples are out) My fiance keenan slept on the couch last ngiht so that hannibal and i could have all the room we needed and could snuggle…he really needed a night with mommy snuggling him to let him actually know he was home and safe and no more pain was on the way.He slept well all night and has not vomited since he got home! He is taking his medicine and is doing well with drinking also…the only problem we still have is having to force him to eat his paste food, due to the fact that after he ate the ounce of beef yesterday , he decided he wasnt eating again….stubborn turkey..He is skin and bones , but annabel and brownie gave us a good tip for fattening him up , and as soon as we can get him to eat on his own on a regular basis , its cottage cheese time! I called the vet this morning and let her know he had eaten on his own ( spitefully but thats just him) and she went ballistic she was so happy…seems his vet decided he was one of her special little guys and loves him too! We are so happy and glad to have him home, and cant believe the difference in him..last week he wouldnt even walk , and this morning he actually chased the kitten! was only about four feet but he ran , and that as well as his first eating is a huge step….i will keep updating as things happen , and i feel so blessed to have all of you sharing this with me…it is AWESOME to not feel alone in a time of crisis and you all ROCK …God Bless …Huge Hugs and Puppy Smoochies….Hannibal and Rina

I just could not be happier for you Rina. With all the love you have to give, Hannibal will have a quick recovery. Our fur babies are so important in our everyday well being, stress relievers, unconditional love and fulfillment of all the happiness we can possible think to have. Keep up the good work, best of luck and many kisses and puppy hugs to Hannibal. Your Puppy Pals, Tootsie and Holly Daisy

Everyday it seems that Hanny is having some improvement. That is only a good sign. Thank you so much for taking the time on his updates to us. When we take a dachsie into our lives like Hanny we feel he is like our own and want to know everything. So Happy for you. Hanny must have been thrilled to sleep in bed with you last night. That is such a comfort for them. Bless you for being such a good mommy to him. The bond you have with him will never be broken.
With all our Love and Prayers
Cheryl & Zoe.

I could not make it thru a day without my DoxiePets….they are so important to me and I can tell that I am equally as important to them…Just like you and Hanny. Keep up the good work Hanny, and Rina, please keep posting.

We are very pleased that Hannibal is starting to recover. We’ve been crossing paws since be became ill, and it does seem to have worked. Wow… the power of the dachshund!

Keep up the good work Hannibal! Guess the kitten is coming in handy- with first with the food and now with the chasing. The extra snuggling is really a great idea. It always makes me feel better and I’m sure it will do wonders for Hannibal!

I’m so glad to hear your little boy is doing better. My heart goes out to you, I know it’s been a stressful time for you. You and Hannibal need to both take it easy. Tell your fiance he needs to take extra good care of you both! Best wishes for y’all.
