I'm so glad Lola is doing so well.

A couple of years ago, my kids and I got a baby Basset for my husband for Father's Day. Lilly was so precious, she won the hearts of all she came in contact with.

Long story short, she had kidney disease - we had one removed when she was 3 months that was diseased and the size of a baby kitten.

She got better - a few weeks later she began acting sickly again. This time it was diagnosed as hep shunt and she was too sickly to pull through another surgery. We lost Lilly.

The vet later told us she had lots of birth defects, not just the hep shunt or kidney and that he was certain that she lived as long as she did because she was so loved.

While we are almost 2 years after the fact, even my parents bring up how much they love and miss Lilly still.

You are SO lucky to have Lola and Lola to have you.
