The Adventures of Brutie - a paralyzed dachshund

09/21/2025

Momma and I talked a lot dis past 2 weeks dat I’ve been at da Rainbow Bridge.
We’ve decided to post unseen footage of me and some of my favorites as well.
As you may know, in da agility course der is a tunnel portion. I loved da tunnel and all da treats I got doing it.
They have since changed da tunnel to be an enclosed path wif no light, so me couldn’t do dat tunnel as it is too scary fer me.
Remember I depends on da shadows ta see. So dat tunnel form was not goods fer me.
Hugs and smooches

It is with a heavy broken heart that I share that Brutie gained his Angel Wings today.
He declined rapidly over the past 24 hours. His vet said she believed he has cancer throughout his body that finally attacked his body completely.
Fly free my sweet gentle baby boy, momma loves you to the moon and back.

Hi FB family and Friends!

I had a really bad day breathing yesterday. Momma thought I might be taking my trip today.
She called da ER dogtors and they gave her some environmental things to do. Who knew dat a nasal tumor prevents me from being able to control my body temperature. Momma followed all of the instructions and I had a much much better day today. Yes I slept a ton but den again yesterday was rough. I was engaged and alert while up and ate anything momma gave me.
Please keep sending da prayers and positive energy.
Dis be me sleeping on my momma and you would never know I have da tumors wif how peaceful I was breathing and sleeping.
Hugs and smooches

Hi FB friends and family!

I went to the dogtor this morning as I have been having congestion dis past week that wasn’t getting better.

Da dogtor thinks I have a tumor behind my left nasal passage. Surgery would mean removal of part of my snout which mommy said isn’t happening. They can do a CT scan to see how big it is if we want to.
The other option that we are taking is to try prednisone for a few days to see if there is any improvement. If there is, it would mean it is shrinking some.
So we’re putting together a bucket list as mommy said we are going to have fun for as long as I’m happy and enjoying life.
So what should I put in my list?

Sorry the news isn’t the best but we always try to be transparent with everyone.

Hugs and smooches
Brutie

My dear friends!
Last night around 10:15 PM, momma was hauling the laundry upstairs after taking me and sissy upstairs and putting us in our beds.
Well I realized dat I didn’t have my sloth wif me. So instead of asking momma ta gets it fer me, I decided to go down da stairs by myself fer da bery first time ebers.
Momma heard da thud thud thud and came running.
Dankfully da soft laundry stuff was at da bottom of the stairs. As I sat der stunned and saying what was I tinking momma got to mes.
She checked me ober like da dogtors do. She cleaned me ups wif a warm bath and rocked me fer a bit till I fell asleep.
Well today I found out I’m grounded fer life fer scaring momma ta death. She did calls da ER to see what signs she should look fer today to know if I was going to need ta bisit dem.
We made it through da day perfectly fine and now me needs to make it up ta momma.
