In Memory of Peggy Sue

Crossed the Rainbow Bridge February 17, 2009

Lost a treasured friend today

The little dog who used to lay

Her gentle head upon my knee

And share her silent thoughts with me

She'll come no longer to my call

Retrieve no more her favorite ball

A voice far greater than my own

Has called her to His golden throne.

Although my eyes are filled with tears,

I thank him for the happy years,

He let her spend down here with me

And for her love and loyalty.

When it is time for me to go,

And join her there, this much I know..

I shall not fear the transient dark

For she will greet me with her bark

My Shirona and Repoman! You were with me through really tough times and kept me going in so many ways. I know you lived full lives to your 18 and 16 years, but I wish you had stayed with me longer. I miss you still everyday.
Love, your mom.

In Memory of Leroy

Crossed the Rainbow Bridge April 2008

Sometimes size does make a difference. It did for our Leroy...his standard length belied his gracefulness; his large body blessed us with a warm, loving heart and a tenacious will to live. We loved him when he was healthy and even more when he was recovering from surgery. His passing left a void in our pack but a warm memory for all who knew him.

Beloved companion of Lee and Nancy Alexander and "sisters" Fritzi and Abigail.

In Memory of Gus & Buddy

I had smooth hair Dachshunds before, but always wanted a long hair; while in Germany that was one of my dreams when getting back to the states. So our first Christmas back, Gus was given to me (a total and complete surprise) by Lou. Lou picked out Gus when he was first born and was assured he was a long hair, well nobody told Gus that! Not having a long hair ever, thought maybe it would grow, well it didn't and so I called the breeder and she said in a litter when mommy is longhaired and daddy is not you can get both and said she would take him back in exchange for a longhair, there was no way anyone was going to take my Gus away, so she said she had two longhair left from a litter and so we decided Gus needed a Buddy. They were true companions to both us and each other and gave us such joy and laughter-who needs TV when you have two Doxies playing!! We lost Gus when he was fourteen years four months, he was very sick and when we had to put him to sleep, I just held him and kept thanking him for all the joy he brought to us. We thought Buddy would die of a broken heart after losing his life long friend, but Buddy lived to seventeen years eight months and that was after losing the use of his back legs twice and getting him back to walking twice with acupuncture.
We have the ashes of Gus and Buddy on our mantel, they are always with us.

In Loving Memory of Sally

Sally –

You were one of the cutest puppies ever and the last of our two original dachshunds. You put up with foster after foster, helping show them the ropes. You earned your nickname of Sallygator for your tendency to get so excited while trying to lick someone that you would accidentally snap at them. We miss you terribly but we are glad you are young again and no longer uncomfortable. Your buddy Lucy must be excited to be reunited with you. I know my mom is taking care of you until we see you again.

You are truly missed Our Precious Girl!

Tribute to a Best Friend
Sunlight streams through window pane unto a spot on the floor....
Then I remember,
It's where you used to lie, but now you are no more.
Our feet walk down a hall of carpet, and muted echoes sound....
Then I remember,
It's where your paws would joyously abound.
A voice is heard along the road, and up beyond the hill,
Then I remember it can't be yours....
Your golden voice is still.
But I'll take that vacant spot of floor and empty muted hall
And lay them with the absent voice and unused dish along the wall.
I'll wrap these treasured memorials in a blanket of my love
And keep them for my best friend until we meet above.
~~Author: Unknown

The pawprints you left on our hearts will always remain.

We love you, Mommy, Daddy and Hannah

You will be missed! From Your Friend, J.R.

I've lost a friend I never met
The message came today,
Propelled through wires at speed of light,
From near or far away.
He left behind a family
And friends to mourn his death,
He left behind a wash of tears,
As he breathed his last breath.
Computer networks span the globe
And contact now is found
With folks that we may never see
But feel with touch profound.

So now I sit with sniffling nose
And tears flow down my face,
I share a loss and try to find
Pure words of peace and grace.

A Dachshund died but more than that,
A precious life has passed.
We take them in, they bless our lives,
Then leave us much too fast.

God grant us peace and memories long,
Our short-lived friends to keep,
In stories, images, and thoughts,
To calm us as we weep.

Mango

Crossed over the Rainbow Bridge May 28, 2010

How do you describe the 10 lb bundle of love we called Mango?
He loved his ball more than food and his people even more than that!
He never sat by himself if he could have 1 or more of his people instead.
He could jump flat footed 5 ft in the air and he did that nonstop when he was excited.
We had the great privilege (thanks to DDRTX) to know him for about 18 months, and for that we will be forever grateful.
There will always be a “Mango” sized hole in our heart and lots of memories in our minds. We always talked about how much Mango needed us, but now we know it was us that needed him.

Love Judy, Cathy, and Lulu

Beloved Companion of Cindy Lehr and Athena

Jojo was a very happy dachshund. He loved to lick lips and loved his stuffed animals. He is greatly missed by myself and his friend Athena. He brought so much laughter and love into my life. I miss him everyday.

Brandy

Crossed the Rainbow Bridge July 12, 2010

Beloved Companion of Sheyenne and Dakota

You were my very first dog, and I miss you so much. I wish you were still here, alive that is, but you were going on 17 this year. Now I feel a little empty inside knowing that you're not here anymore, but it was your time. We didn't want you to be in pain. Well, one day when we all go, we'll see you waiting for us. I miss you so much, and I think about you everyday. I love you Brandy. Oh, and one more thing. No other dog could replace you, and Dakota (my little sister) still thinks about you too. I love you so very much. Good luck, and we'll see you one day.
