Link
linkLink was born around 1981 and passed away in 1993.

He was born with a birth defect that caused his front feet to have deformed toes. Because of this, he walked with a slight limp (although it never stopped him in his pursuit of neighborhood cats, nor did it impede his ability to catch mice). He soon figured out that if he was not getting all the attention he wanted, he could exaggerate his limp and get lots of sympathy that way.

He was also a gentlemen, one of the few dachshunds I've met that wouldn't snatch a treat out of your fingers. He would take it gently and eat it politely. If he didn't like what you were giving him though, he wouldn't be rude and turn his nose up. He would simply take the snack and hide it behind the couch. I found a pile of dog biscuits that he didn't care for back there once.

He was a wonderful dog, and I still miss him. Thanks for preserving His memory in such a wonderful way.

Thank you,

Lucy
linkLucy was found wandering the streets of Tulsa, OK. A vet guessed her to be somewhere between 15 and 17 years of age. She wasn't well, had the typical ailments of an elderly dachshund.

The most famous thing about Lucy was that she "talked" all the time, and she sounded just like a walrus when she did. She was such a delight and so funny to listen to. She passed on March 2, 2006, from complications of congestive heart failure.




Lucy Draper
Lucy DraperLucy was many things - opera singer, kibble inhaler, knitting buddy and a fabulous under-the-blanket hot water bottle. Above all though she was an affectionate and constant companion to Jackie.

She was a great little traveler which included much time spent in Ottawa, Vancouver, PEI and her favourite - Mexico. Ever the "sun bunny" Lucy would seek out and claim any little scrap of sun she could. The photo of her on a beach chair says it all.

Lucy will be missed deeply but we are all comforted by the many happy memories shared over the last five years.

We are so thankful that she welcomed us into her little heart even if it was only when Jackie was away!
