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.

E & C

Schroeder arrived in my life from DDRTX in 2002, a frisky 18 mos old.  He and his companion, Dapper, spent the next ten years trying to decide who was alpha.  When Dapper left us three years ago, Schroeder at last claimed the title!  Alas, along with his newfound supremacy came Cushing's Disease.  Before we recognized the symptoms, he was blind.  He was managing very well with voice commands but over the course of the next year he lost almost all of his hearing. He was a playful, cheerful, totally dachshund stubborn little guy.  He loved squeaky toys and long walks, but he wasn't a cuddly fellow.
He departed for the Rainbow Bridge on March 17, 2016, at the ripe old age of 15-years 4-months.

In memory of my lovely Snitzi Lynne, who left us two months ago. Snitzi was a fighter. She recovered from surgery for a ruptured neck disc, regaining full use of her legs; she recovered from surgery for bladder cancer and treatment; and after being diagnosed with diabetes, we monitored her blood sugar at home and gave her insulin.  In the end, she went very suddenly from acute pneumonia.  She radiated pure love and we miss her so much

Sweet Baby Bea the little girl with a lot of love to give.  She was with us a short while until her time to be with someone else waiting in heaven.  She will be missed.
