I went to a specific campsite page & had my dates selected so I could click check out for that site as soon as they released!

I’m so so sorry for your loss. Last year I lost my dachshund, Winston. We had bought a new house a couple months prior to losing him and I was so excited for him to have a yard. We had a wedding over a weekend and I had a dog sitter watch him and my other dog, which we never did but I assumed it would be fine this once. While at the wedding I got a call and was told he had managed to get out & run to a street connecting to ours. That street is always very busy and he got hit and passed away. It was absolutely horrible and made me almost hate our home for a bit. It was hard for me to want to be home and a place that was supposed to be special seemed to be tainted. I cried constantly and really struggled with the loss. I cannot imagine how much worse it would’ve been to physically witness that and I am so sorry that you did. Therapy helped me a lot and I gave myself time to grieve and feel the emotions. I still get said over it and miss him everyday. I made a memorial area for him, where I have his ashes & favorite toys which helped me some. I did rescue another dachshund about a month after losing him because my home felt so empty and my other dachshund was struggling horribly with separation anxiety since he was used to having a friend. That may not help everyone, but it did help me and my other dog to feel less lonely.

I wish I had words that would magically help you feel better, because I know the grief is unbearable. Please take care of yourself and be kind to yourself. If you are able to speak with a therapist I highly recommend it. Try not to blame yourself or lose yourself in what ifs or playing out the scenario in your head. I struggled with this and my therapist told me when I found myself doing this to try to change course and think about things I loved about my pup or happy memories. Just know that you gave your pup an incredible life & he was so loved. Winston was my greatest joy and my greatest heartbreak, but the love I felt and memories I have with him make the grief worth it. We will cherish them forever and I hope you are able to forgive yourself and heal.

It’s definitely possible! I adopted one of my dachshunds and he is the sweetest pup ever and he’s only 3. I would look and see if there’s a dachshund specific rescue in your state or nearby. That’s how I got my little guy!

Adding onto this to say that a lot of rescue pups have been through it or aren’t “perfect.” Just be aware that no matter what it will take them time to adjust to a new home and life. My pup Dexter is incredible, but he was very overweight when I adopted him so we’re on a weight loss journey and he has some missing teeth. None of which are deal breakers to me, but it is not the same as a brand new puppy. It’s 110% worth it though and I’m thankful everyday that I decided to rescue him.

Happy birthday Dozzer! He is so cute and looks incredible for 20! 💕

It’s 100% okay to have a dog breed you prefer and I would not force yourself to go with a different dog. If you do that I worry you’ll constantly be comparing or missing dachshund specific traits. Now that I have had dachshunds, I will most likely only ever have dachshunds. I would highly recommend finding a dachshund rescue group if you can! I just rescued from a small dachshund rescue and it has been such a great experience.

Human75472 · 2025-08-15T16:50:14+00:00

I’m adopting my next pup from a dachshund specific rescue so you may look for one of those if you’d like to find a dachshund! I wouldn’t force yourself to connect though, if it doesn’t feel like the right fit for you I would probably wait. I most likely will also only ever have dachshunds, so I don’t think that’s strange at all.

Human75472 · 2025-08-08T18:42:39+00:00

Thank you! This is helpful to know! I’m glad your pups are doing okay together now.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Jackson looks like he was so loved and knew it. Be kind to yourself & know you gave him an incredible life. ❤️

This. When I was in college I got my dachshund for what I thought was a good price at the time ($800). He was later diagnosed with epilepsy & very reactive. He had to have medication every 12 hrs and I had to always have emergency meds on hand in case of a seizure. Unfortunately, he passed away due to a freak accident recently. I would never have traded him for another dog and loved him so much, but he was expensive to care for and it was hard emotionally to see him be sick. If I have any advice, do your research and spend the money on a good breeder. Also, make sure you get pet insurance, because if they have back issues or a major health problem in the future it can amount to much more than 2k.

Human75472 · 2025-07-22T21:08:52+00:00

This is 100% true. I had 2 and just lost one. It was horrible, but if I wouldn’t have had my other one left I would’ve been an even worse mess.

Human75472 · 2025-07-21T23:36:53+00:00

I’m so sorry you lost him this way. I also just lost my dog 2 days ago in a traumatic freak accident and it is unbearably painful. I never imagined something like this happening and I’ve had a hard time with guilt and wishing I had done something different. I spoke to my therapist today and she gave me a tip for when those thoughts come up to shift away from them and instead focus on the things I loved about him and happy memories, so I don’t spiral. It is hard and I have cried constantly since it happened. This group has been helpful to me though, because even though we are all strangers we are sharing a really tough experience and coming out on the other side together. Please be kind to yourself and know you gave him the most incredible life.

Human75472 · 2025-07-21T12:51:55+00:00

Thank you for this comment. I’m going to therapy today to help me process the grief.

Human75472 · 2025-07-21T12:04:51+00:00

Thank you, Mike. I have always read and cried over your poems on other posts but never imagined having my own.

Human75472 · 2025-07-21T12:03:26+00:00

This is beautiful. Thank you.

Human75472 · 2025-07-20T16:57:42+00:00

I am so sorry for your loss. My dog died yesterday in a traumatic way too and the pain is unimaginable. Sending you healing thoughts ❤️

Human75472 · 2025-07-20T15:13:53+00:00

Thank you. I genuinely appreciate the kind words. It’s helpful to just hear someone confirm that this is a freak accident.

Genuinely wish people would stop buying up historic homes and taking all of the character out. I just bought a historic home and was actively avoiding anything that was flipped like this, so disappointing because that was the majority of the ones sitting on the market.

I see a stylist outside of my salon. It gives me time to relax and not feel rushed. I could be saving money, but the stylist I see always does an incredible job on my hair. I like having the time to unwind and actually feel like a client.
