Here is a tribute to Bertie....my Dachshund adopted 3 years ago, who had huge problems, fits, heart condition, aggression, nightmares etc....all due to maltreatment. Yesterday he was euthanased. Lux Aeterna on www.jil-bartley.com is a tribute to him!! He was a gift to me, a bundle of love eventually, and a forgiving soul. We could learn alot from animals!!! Please listen and think of Bertie....xxx
