Steak for dinner today!

Dottie is a registered piebald and was rescued from an AKC breeder that dumped her after she developed a hernia. Dot had 7 litters of high end show puppies in 8 years. She landed well with us and enjoys her quiet home, home-made dog dinners, go-fer-rides, walkies, belly rubs and sleeping in the big bed! She likes to "mother" her adopted sister, Jude (the Darfur Dachshund) and resident coach potato.

Dottie is deaf, has lost most of her teeth and had a few surgeries (too many puppies); but, for the most part she is in good health and loves life!  :heart:

We hope she'll be with us a while longer. We love you Dottie!

It seems like Hallie was always there...happy to be around, tail flying...if a dog could smile it was Hallie. We will miss her; but, she has many friends waiting at the Bridge and she is not alone. My condolences to DeeDee for her loss...

ditto, Rich,
We never have had the pleasure to meet either, as we live a wee bit far away.  I only wish I was closer, but at times like this I know you just want your own space for a while.

DeeDee rescued Hallie and two other doxies from a nearby shelter 14 years ago - presumably litter mates. One went to Texas, we were fortunate enough to get Hallie's sister Sophie from DeeDee who made the trip to Iowa to deliver her. Four years ago the sisters met again when DeeDee came to Iowa to seek help for Hallie's blindness. Last year we lost Sophie to bladder cancer and now they are both gone. Heartbroken does not even cover it. I am not sure anyone can truly comprehend how close DeeDee and Hallie were. They were inseparable. It would be impossible to calculate how many Hallie has been an inspiration to and how many shelter pets she helped through her painting. I am proud and humbled to have known the both of them. Praying for comfort and peace for DeeDee.

When I first started on here, there would be a Doxie that would die that I didn't know very well, and the older members would talk about it feeling like a member of the family. Now that I have been here almost eleven years, I understand so well what they meant. I think Louie was the first one that really got to me, but we have also had Max, Rudy, Miss Amy, the Alaska kids, and a few more. It is hard to believe that Hallie was only three when I first posted on this board.
I have found a French Bulldog forum, to get advice and share the antics of Pierce, but it is nothing like this group of people. We are truly a special group, connected by our love of our little long dogs.

I, too, saw her post on FB.  I know her heart is breaking so much for her little girl.  I am crying with her, because it's so hard to say goodbye, and Hallie was a once in a lifetime friend.  :grouphug:

I'm so sorry to hear of Miss Hallie's passing Hugs to Dee Dee and may Miss Hallie Rest in Peace  she was such a wonderful Fur Kid for Deedee. I guess I was expecting it since I kept asking about her. If anyone uses Facebook can you please give Deedee my condolences.
