Diesel was a 13 year old Teacup Pomeranian who had severe heart failure. We took him in, and our vet said he was only going to live anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks. Everyone wanted to know what I did for that to happen. I said its pretty simple, I gave him my heart and he gave me his. Love alone can extend their lives. Due to the severity of his illness, he went with me everywhere. His favorite spot was my food pantry gardens, he would go out very day with me and sniff each plant. I joked that he was my quality control manager. We got so close during this time that when he died, I told my family I was done with the gardens. Our oldest daughter suggested I brand my dehydrated products with his name for craft shows. I did that, and about a year later founded the nonprofit. Diesels Garden And Hospice was started in memory of him. We are a federally recognized 501c3 organization, meaning that all donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
