In Loving Memory of Heidi

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.

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.

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.
