Gretel Von Dackel Hartman-Yates - April 2007, 13 years, 7 months young

Our beloved Gretel. Almost 14 years of memories with you, dear. This home will seem empty without you. You lived out your life in this house and may each area always share your memory. Your daughters, Tinka, Heidi, and Biti, miss thier momma. Your sons, Fritz and Hans, as well, and our adopted girl, Abby-Gal also misses her housemate. You were loved from the minute I picked you out for Daddy Kenn with a litter name of Cocoa. Never saw a wirehaired dachie before and now we owned one. (Possibly the other way round eh?) A beautiful one for sure. You always obeyed and were a true lady, delivering two litters of puppies in your lifetime and raising five to maturity, with one passing with each delivery, one boy and one girl. Now may they, too, come home to thier momma. Memories, too many to mention but know this our little love. God blessed us deep with you and we love you forever and appreciate the sharing of your life and allowing us both to be your daddies, for your earthly journey. Go play and rest now sweetheart. Find Sadie Red Dapple Lady and Katie and tell them their daddies hearts are sore but one day will be no more. You were always a strong lass, making it through back surgery at 8 1/2 years old and living post operatively in great health after a long healing process with a lot of people's support for five more years. We will cherish that always. We ask our Heavenly Father to now cradle you in His arms till we can once more and then at that time death can not take you from us anymore.

OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO FOREVER GRETEL. A miniature wild-boar coated, wirehaired dachshund. May you now soar on God's breath and have no more earthly pain. We will deeply miss you, Momma Gretel.

Love, Daddies Kenn and Den, Momma Dot and Charlotte Seliger and family and Zuzana Hebka' and family, your exchange human being sisters from Germany and Czech Republic. You touched a lot of lives and will never be forgotten our little four-legged daughter

Sofous Hundeberg Norgaard - April 2007, 6 years, 1 month old

Soufus Hundeberg Norgaard - our beloved companion for six years in which we enjoyed your lively way of being the King of The Lion Hill and defending us against cats, mailmen and newspaper boys. We hope that your old friend and teacher on how to dig the garden, Fie, the old dachshund of Lillian and Jens, is with you now.

All the best to you - do wag your tail and jump for us in Dogs' Heaven. Astrid, Thea, Marius, Dorthe and Henrik

Bud, our handsome little guy - April 2007, 11 years, 10 months old

Bud, our 'handsome little guy', will always be in our hearts. He's only been gone for a few days and the loss is overwhelming. He was with us for almost 12 years and will be missed terribly. His little sister, Wiser, is also grieving. He was so loving and happy and always ready for a belly rub. His love was unconditional and unquestioned. We are trying desperately to take comfort in the fact that he is now at Rainbow Ridge and frolicking with all of his 'new' friends and that we will all be together again one day. Bud, you will always be in our hearts and we love you very much! Be happy!

Love, Mommmy, Daddy and Wiser

Macintosh 'Mac' James - April 2007, 11 years, 9 months old

Mac was our rescue dachshund and he lived every day at double speed. He loved his mommy, his daddy, his fur sister Becot, and coffee! He was our 'bad' boy, but we loved him. Mac died at home sitting next to me on the couch. He is gone, but I know he is at the Bridge waiting for us to join him. Rest in peace, little Mac (2/15/96 - 4/9/07); we miss you every day!
