Flopsy

Flopsy, you were the best friend I had for 12 years! You got me through many trials, a wayward teenager, so much. The day I had to help you leave your world of pain and humiliation, I just wanted to hang on to you a little while longer. Flopsy, after almost three years, I finally got another little Dachshund. He is red and tiny. He will never take your place though. We will not expect him to. No one could.

After you left, about three months later, we went to the shelter, "just to look". Lady was there, she is a 'mutt', but she doesn't know it, long blonde hair, long legs, and the most humble little girl you could ever meet. She came home with us a few days after we met her. She is as far opposite of what you looked like as she can be. I couldn't bear to look at another like you for a long, long time.

She (Lady) has gotten me almost through another teenager Flopsy. Zach just came here 2 weeks ago. He is a baby. I love you Flopsy!
