Marc, I missed this until now. I was kinda hibernating myself. You know why. We suffered together last year. Your beautiful girl has crossed my mind dozens of times during the year. Cannot believe it's been a year. Feels like yesterday, huh?

I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy. My heart is heavy for you.

Judy, Mike, and Kevin, I am so sorry for your loss. No words to ease your pain. I just pray that soon your sweet memories will bring more smiles and fewer tears.

Robin, I well remember following your stories of Elsie. What a joy she was and she was in the perfect home for her last years. I am so very sorry for your loss.

I put my dachshund on ProNeurozone. Vet recommended it to start as it doesn't affect the major organs. It was like a miracle drug for his dementia. Check it out online. It's not expensive, either. Took about a week or so until I saw improvement, but most of the dementia signs disappeared. He lived to be 16 years, 8.5 months. Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of his death, as his body just eventually gave out.

I added water to the kibble, nuked it for about 30 seconds and let it sit for a while and it softened. I also got canned food for the first day and I think I forgot to use it. The kibble gets really mushy. I fed mushy kibble for a week or so. I will be in and out tomorrow and work a few hours, but keep me posted. I always worry like crazy until they are home and safely recovering. Give him a gentle hug from aunt sue Howie the dachshund had a dental and has only two teeth remaining, two canines. He still eats everything.

So glad to hear this! So many times we hear the problems and never hear the progress report as time goes on. Keep us posted.

Chris I just can't find the words. I type and delete. I am just so very sorry for your sudden loss. He knew he was adored. May his memories soon bring smiles through your tears.

How old is she?

Chances are high that blocking his vision is not going to stop the problem. They KNOW that something is out there. My kids can be out cold and suddenly react to something in the woods that I can never ever see. Even before my elderly almost blind and almost deaf Dexter died, he would react sometimes before the other dogs. They know bicycles and walkers are coming when they are still out of my sight. The squirt bottle and penny can helped a little but I gave up. I'm alone and decided I want to know when something/someone is around.

I brought my first grey home to two very headstrong mini dachshunds. Worked out well. Two more greys after she died. All adjusted well. I became a pet sitter and keep two more greys, one male who is not neutered, keep a lab who is not neutered. The lab is fairly young and high energy so the grey makes him run, yes, MAKES him and he cannot keep up with her. Please understand that I very carefully introduce them to each other. Supervision, separation, etc, until I am comfortable that they are okay together. And still, I usually muzzle my grey when I send her out with others as she is so assertive and mouthy. Oh, I forgot the cats. Two very nosy, busy, fearless cats. I often keep the cats confined for the sake of the dogs I may be tending. The cats are ruthless and sometimes tease the heck out of the dogs.

If I need anything I use Comfortis. It's the only thing that controlled and killed the fleas on the farm dogs. Wasted lots of money on the Frontline Plus from the vets over the years. My little dachsie also managed to contract Lyme despite the faithful use of vet-purchased frontline. Currently know of multiple cases of lyme in dogs, new case last week, despite use of Frontline Plus. I live in the woods, check us regularly, have all kinds of creatures running around. No fleas, occ. ticks. I researched frontline and the company claims that the quality is not affected by temperature. My vet always used that excuse for buying it from them.

Marc, Kara was loved and she knew it.

I am so sorry for your losses. I cannot imagine your pain, I just cannot imagine.

I always liked the picture of him following you on the beach. I used to think that loss would be easier to handle as I got older. Not happening. My deepest sympathy to you and Jeff.

Marc, to think of you losing your three Joisey Girls in nine months, well, I weep everytime I think of it. Though you knew it had to be, I cannot imagine the overwhelming grief. But as the others said, Kara landed in the perfect home, and for six years enjoyed the adoration of her Dad. What more could a girl ask for!

Jennie, I am SO glad that she is home and doing well. Hope everything falls into place correctly this time. Hug her gently for me and tell her how much you love her and are sorry that she had to go through this.

Tried to PM you and it won't go. Is your box full?

Thank you for sharing her with us. No words can stop your tears, but may you soon be smiling through your tears when you think of her.

I read this right after you posted it, then listened to the song which took me to memories WAY back in time. And I cried and cried so hard I couldn't post. What an honor that you could provide for your friend's dying wish. Don't many of us who live alone pray that our fur kids will be well taken care of when we leave this earth?

for Adam, Deb, and Ed Amber, is this the family that adopted Cindy?

We weep with you.

Oh, Marc, smiles through the tears, again. Beautiful music. Beautiful pictures. Beautiful Duchess. Beautiful Nadia. She will be SO missed by SO many. She really DID behave like royalty.

I had the honor of meeting the Duchess, not once, but twice. She clearly made her wishes and expectations known. I well remember her lying on the pillow, regal, claiming her right to be there. Marc, thank you for sharing her with us. Your gem will be missed by so many. Though it was her time, we still feel the pain of your loss. As said before, she will reign over the Bridge.

Beautiful, just beautiful.
