Excruciating to read these threads. Seems like we've all got dog stories. Pixie the Wonderbeagle's been gone two years now. We got another beagle. A rescue dog out of a Kentucky puppy mill. Some a-hole beat this dog severely. She's absolutely terrified of me. Has buddied up to everyone but me. A good little dog none the less. I'd sure like to get my hands on the scumbag that beat here though.
Pixie's been gone two years now and I still miss her like it was yesterday. The pain never fully goes away. My old Explorer finally died here a couple months ago. It got towed to the junkyard with Pixie's nose prints still on the windows.
My deepest condolences to you sir. This is always so, so hard. Here's to the hope another castaway in need of a home finds it's way into your heart.

You also have my condolences. It never gets easier when one of our best buds leaves us. Despite that, they are worth it and then some. In 7 weeks, my situation changes, and I start looking anew for a give-away, pound or rescue dog. We lost the Lab lost 2 years ago, and the Dachshund about 10 now. Still looking around for either or both at times. I'm sure if there is a doggie heaven, they are showing Ruby around. One of each if we can find them. Need a big dog to keep the boogers off the little one.....  . Boogers meaning bears, wolves and coyotes primarily. Want me to look for you?

We are grieving the loss of Ruby, our wirehaired dachshund today. We are devastated. I know I will see her again at the rainbow bridge, but damn it is hard right now! Ruby 10/12/2012 - 3/23/2018 RIP, Baby Girl ![[Linked Image]](http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1325/13758246/24799880/413778215.jpg) What a beautiful dog, I am so sorry. To watch one totter slowly into the sun-setting twilight of a dog's age, or to have one suddenly ripped from your heart, either way hurts so much... My condolences!

Need a big dog to keep the boogers off the little one..... . Boogers meaning bears, wolves and coyotes primarily. Want me to look for you? Mid May- I'll start looking. But thanks, Mike. Logistics and all. And wife doesn't show up until July. She hated Tripper Lab pup at first too. That lasted about 2 days....then she left for a 2 month away from home job. All good after that. And if I have "her" Dachshund on site, (last one thought he was mine) it's all good. We won't tell her. One doesn't live 40 years with a woman without learning work-arounds. She's only tough on the outside. Well, actually, one really does not want to cross her on some things....... I mean, really! But a weiner dog fixes everything. Compromise, hell - I'm going straight for the bribe.

Really sorry to hear about Ruby..... 
Biden's most truthful quote ever came during his first press conference, 03/25/21.
Drum roll please...... "I don't know, to be clear." and THAT is one promise he's kept!!!

As for Ruby's med problems - I don't know about others - but Tripper Lab was a "free dog" - got him at about 10 weeks. Over the next 12 1/2 years he cost us probably 10K, including food. Worth every penny.
DJ the Weiner dog wasn't far behind. I never even asked, still don't know, and don't care the expenses from his last 6 weeks...
Dogs are like yachts - if you have to ask what they cost, you can't afford one.

My truest condolences. There is nothing like the love of a dog. Nothing.
My pups are 10 & 7. I dread the day, but I will celebrate every day I get to share with them.

Just wanted to update our family since Spring of 2018 - - - It has been over 18 months since we lost out Wirehaired Dachsund to a car-vs-dog incident. About 6 months later we rescued a Longhaired Dachsund to fill the hole left by Ruby's departure. RIP - Ruby, 10/12/2012 - 3/23/2018 - Wirehaired Dachsund ![[Linked Image from pic20.picturetrail.com]](https://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1325/13758246/24799880/413858666.jpg) Winn - rescued 9/17/2018 - Longhaired Dachsund filled the hole left by Ruby's departure. ![[Linked Image from pic20.picturetrail.com]](https://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1325/13758246/24799880/414314493.jpg) Daisy - rescued 3/15/2016 - Rat Terrier and she has become my shadow since Ruby went to the Rainbow Bridge. She successfully hunts rabbits, squirrels and moles. ![[Linked Image from pic20.picturetrail.com]](https://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1325/13758246/24799880/414314492.jpg)
Someday I hope to be the person my dogs think I am . . .

Condolences (again) on the loss of your Ruby, glad you were able to find Winn and Daisy to add a little "joyful noise" around the house. In my mind, no dog ever replaces a loved dog that has gone across, but each dog burrows a fresh hole in his master's heart. Each dog we love is a gift all by themselves... Good luck and good health to you and your new dog family!

Sorry for your loss
One of the worst days in a man's life
if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?
