Ouiser-Our Daschund

I hope the link on my first post worked that showed a picture of her. Three weeks tomorrow and the loss is still deep in my heart.

Yes, your picture hit me like a hammer. I've read letters and posts about the loss of a pet, and it is always moving, but when I saw your dog's picture I just lost it.

Our loss is softened somewhat, because we have 3 dachshunds including Shorty and a Yorkie.

There's one memory of Shorty that we miss very much, and that is how we could start howling and Shorty would always chime in and then the other dogs would follow suit. Just like a wolf pack. We've tried to get the others to do it since Shorty passed, but they just won't howl without Shorty leading. We called it singing. We do miss it so.

If it helps any, I guess the only thing that keeps me from grieving too much when I start thinking about Shorty, I try to think of the memory of when he bit the UPS guy. That seems to keep me from crying.
