      I joined this site a while back, but I hadn\’t felt up to posting until now. This is my red, long-haired Dachshund that I got from the shelter. Her name was Jackie May. She was 10 years old when I got her, with epilepsy, seizures, bad teeth, and matted hair. After 5 years of love and care, she was leading a happy life, although she had developed diabetes and required insulin shots twice per day.
      Some back story: Last spring, my husband brought home a German Shepherd mix from the same shelter. I wasn\’t thrilled, but he absolutely loved that dog, so we adopted him. We enrolled him in classes, and he learned many manners. He did remain toy aggressive.
      Last summer, that big dog attacked and killed little Jackie. My heart breaks anew every day. I\’m having such a hard time dealing with this. We still have the Shepherd, and my husband still loves him in spite of the pain of losing Jackie. I just can\’t feel the same way. Jackie was my luvvie, and I don\’t know how to handle this situation.
      • I would like to hear how some of you would handle my situation. I am full of love for animals, and I need to figure out a way to forgive the killer dog. How would you do it? Thanks.

        Oh Lorraine, what a sweet, nice and touching tribute to Vinnie. He was SO cute. How are Spotty, Bear and Twiggy doing without him? I’m sure they grieve his loss, too. These darn holiday are tough, but I hope you bring up the many wonderful times you shared often and relish the life you shared with joy. I also hope this new year brings you all lots of fun and funny times, always with love. Toni

          Dawn, I’ve waited to say anything because I am so sad and sorry, and want to give you a little time to share with you that, last February when I said goodbye to my Beauty Girl, she had a seizure in my lap. It was the second (that I know of) and it was clear it was time for her leave rather than continue. Silver’s passing is awful, but for his sake, I am glad, and hope you share that sentiment. Our love has to be about what is best for them, not us, and we would keep them with us forever if we could, but we can’t. We know that in our heads. In our hearts, we ache and mourn and the pain is so very deep. But Dawn, would you have given up the years of love you gave and got with Silver knowing the parting would hurt so much? I wouldn’t. I suspect neither would you. I am so so very sorry. Please tell us how you are and what you are doing in Silver’s memory and absence.I am, we all are, thinking of you. {{HUGS}} and care. Toni

              January 6, 2022 marks 1 year since I lost Vinnie. Christmas was not the same without you, but I know you were with us in spirit. You will always be in my memory and heart. I hope you are well and happy having crossed the rainbow bridge, spending your 1st heavenly Christmas. Go fly high with the angels my sweet boy. Your momma who loves you very much. ox

                        Geri, it’s good to hear from you but boy, what a sad and tough year you and yours have endured. Let’s hope the new year brings better things for you all. Buttercup and Syrus sound cute. It’s good you have them to share with. We’ll be waiting to hear from you, and I wish you all a good, healthy and happier 2023. Toni

                          Dawn, you have been through a lot and I hope you are feeling better. We will be waiting to hear how Thor’s baby is doing. What is his name? Keep us updated about both of you. Toni
                          • My nieces family adopted a dog named Buttercup. I I babysit Buttercup twice a week, and they tell her that her and Syrus are kissing cousins. She is always sticking her tongue inside of his mouth. I also tell everyone she’s my great niece. She’s such a cuddly family.

                            • Sorry, not been in touch but a lot has happened to me over the past year. I had omicron, Covid pneumonia and congestive heart failure between January 2022 and March 2022. Thank God for many of my friends and family who watched Syrus and Hex for me. Unfortunately, my sister lost her dog Charlie girl. Are used to call her my Charlie girl. She wasn’t really friendly with too many people except me. My sister had to put it down just to expire for Christmas. It broke my heart. Then my girlfriend Terri who took care of Syrus and Hex for me had to put down her cat Muppet just before Christmas. Talk about another heartache. I wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a healthy and happy new year.

                              Had a nice Christmas with my furbabies but not the same without Doodlebug and Missy and Jazz. I guess I love them them too much. Looking forward to a better new year.
                              Happy New Year everyone

                                  Oh Dawn, I am so, so very sorry to hear this. Thor was unwell for so long, perhaps it was a release for him and he is now at peace. But what a sad way to part, with you not being able to be there. Are you okay after your own accident? That sounds just terrible, too. This has been a tough holiday for you Dawn, and I know everyone in our community joins me in extending sincere sympathy and sorrow. Toni
