Unexpected

[luvmydoxie]

I went to the grocery store today...nothing unusual for me. I went back out to my van with my boys and went to open the back. And there was the license plate holder that says "I love my dachshund" :sob:

I was doing fairly well today and then I saw that sign. I know I did the right thing. It still hurts.

I hope that someday soon I can have another doxie to love.

Oh, Dawn, it is the little things that bring us to tears. I know from experience.

I'm still missing Cooler and when I saw Bunny run the other day, it was the exact same way that Cooler used to run. Brought tears to my eyes, too.

Right now, when the grief is so new, it is little things that will trigger pain and tears. Later the same little things will bring the happy memories...and a few tears too. You will always "I Love My Dachshund."

Losing Noodles happened so recently that you are bound to be badly affected by little things.
Allow yourself to cry, and lean on us whenever you feel the need.

I am so sorry for your loss! I must have missed the posting, I've been sick and not reading everything, just went back. Allow yourself to grieve, cry, vent, yell, let it all come out. You did the right thing, albeit quite a painful decision. Your time with Noodle was short, but she got to be loved by you so much in that time. Hugs going out to you!!!!

Sending hugs I know how much it hurts.

The early day are the roughest. At first it doesn't take much to start the tears rolling again. Over time the happy memories will outweigh the sad ones. When the time is right the right dog dachshund or not will wander into your life. Our new companions never replace the ones we have lost but they do help mend the holes left in our hearts. Keep posting your feelings just being able to talk about them to others who know what you are going through can be a great help.


Sorry I didn't get the poem posted to your memorial thread last night. I seem to be fighting either the change in seasons or coming down with something. Been wiped out when I get home. Went to bed at 7:30 last night had to force myself out of bed at 7:00.

For giving Noodles a wonderful home. Noodle is scoping you out a new baby already I am sure. You had a wonderful gift be it only for a short while to have had her in your life and I know in time it will get easier.

It's the unexpected things you can't prepare yourself for that can sometimes be the most painful. When we came home after losing Tristan at the vet's, my first act was to run around the house picking up all his bowls and squeakers and leashes and either discarding or storing them, so I knew where they were and would not come across one unexpectedly. But then one day (several months later), we were driving on the beach on a beautiful day and I saw a little red longhaired dachsie being walked and tears came to my eyes.

I hope you will find another dachshund to love, too. My girls have never felt like a replacement for Tristan. They are very much their own dachshunds :) , but they bring so much joy.

Take care, we are thinking of you. :hugs1:

It's always the little things that get you. When you're ready another dachsie will come along to love you and for you to love.

I can't imagine what you're going through. You know were here anytime.

I know how you feel - the picture of Mason did the same thing to me. Hopefully, one day soon, we'll be able to celebrate their lives rather than mourning their loss. I know that your Noodles and my Rusty are at the bridge waiting for us. Take care - you are in my thoughts.
