Priscilla
Priscilla was already a very senior lady when her mother left her at a shelter, knowing her life would be ended there. Thanks to an SSDR member, she came to rescue and to a home for the rest of her life. That time was too short for her new mommy. Miss Priscilla, I'll never forget your funny little walk and how your little body curled up to cuddle. Thank you for the time we had together. Now you can see with both eyes and your little legs run without pain.

Petunia
We are so sorry we couldn't fix what was wrong but we know you were happier your last few months than you were your whole life. Run free and happy sweet Petunia, missed and loved by Miss Sharon and Diane

For Jack
Jack was with us for three years. His poor heart gave out before any of us were ready. We were lucky to play ball with him everyday of his life. What a great dachshund we found - a real treasure! Our first, but not our last. Karen Martin and the kids we were blessed

Hope
For nearly four years we were blessed with the companionship of our dear Hope, whom we adopted later in her life. She was a great older sister to our other two dachshunds, and taught them a thing or two about lobbying for treats or a warm lap. Hope was happiest when curled beside you on the couch or in bed. She was happy to have me carry her around like a football until my arm tired out. Hope was great with children and babies, and was a neighborhood favorite because she would let anyone pet her. She was a spunky little gal, who could be a tough cookie. She was my little baby. We'll miss our little Hope-a-dope dearly, but we will love her and keep her in our memories forever.

Ms. Charlotte January, 2007
You gave us a year of joy in this household. You were adopted to me as a dachsie, but you were actually a "seal" in disguise....barked like, walked like, and looked like a SEAL!!! Our hearts broke when we had to put you down. Now you are running free, chasing butterflies, and waiting for me to join you...I miss you, my beloved Charlotte!!! You left a huge void in our house....we love you forever and miss you, sweet baby!!! Donna, Cathy, Mindy, Heidi, Summer, & Rocky
