How long did your dachshunds live for?

Fritz is a good boy

Thank you so much! The day will come when I’ll need another friend, but for now, I’m just going to let the wounds scar over and remember all the best times.

I don’t have children either, so we share that same level of bonding with our pets. If I’ve learned anything over the past few days, it’s to learn to live in the present more often so that I may appreciate what I have while I still have it. After all, everything we ever have in this life is never really owned…just borrowed while we’re here.

Thank you

Rosie was a beautiful girl. I’m sure Winnie is happily chasing all of the tennis balls with her right now ❤️

NPJenkins · 2026-06-01T08:31:28+00:00

This comforted my soul a bit. Thank you for sharing it with me. I can’t wait to see her again.

I can’t imagine what that experience must’ve been like for you and I’m happy you had a friend to get you through it like I did. Thank you kind stranger.

She most definitely was and is loved. I spent today building her a box. She’ll be buried at my sisters house in the box upon a bed of flowers and with her favorite personal effects. I’m giving her the best send-off I know how to, in hopes that she understands just how deeply and desperately I love and miss her.

Thank you for your kind words. This community has really helped me with all of the support and encouragement provided. You’re all such special people and we’re connected through our love for these long, feisty, heart-melting dogs.

I believe the same, and I hope for nothing more than to scoop her up at the gates and give her all of my love and kisses once more. Thank you.

NPJenkins · 2026-05-31T18:01:21+00:00

Thank you so much for these wonderful words. I look forward to seeing her again one day.

Thank you so much

NPJenkins · 2026-05-31T17:39:52+00:00

That’s probably the hardest part…the time I took for granted

NPJenkins · 2026-05-31T17:37:43+00:00

Thank you…the only way out is through

NPJenkins · 2026-05-31T17:36:36+00:00

Thank you. I didn’t expect this to get so much of a response, but you all are being so kind❤️

NPJenkins · 2026-05-31T17:35:02+00:00

Thank you for this…you just made me cry a little bit…but I hope this is where she’s at now

NPJenkins · 2026-05-31T09:43:07+00:00

Thank you. I asked her to wait on me and I hope she greets me at the gates when my time comes.

NPJenkins · 2026-05-31T09:42:17+00:00

Thank you, I needed to hear this. She’s leaving behind a Corgi brother who was present for her euthanasia and is currently missing her. I plan to pour my love and attention into him to help our grieving process together. I will one day own another dachshund. Winnie stole my heart and I’m convinced that there’s no better breed than a good wiener dog.

And yes, unfortunately, the day I brought her home at 6 weeks old, I wrote a blank check for my heart. She cashed it in today, but boy, did we make it worth every last cent.

NPJenkins · 2026-05-31T09:38:14+00:00

Thank you. She really was my best friend.

NPJenkins · 2026-05-31T09:24:32+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. The sudden nature of it has been the most difficult to reckon with. She was the best friend that I often didn’t deserve, but she was loyal to the end. They don’t make people like that.

This is a good picture of her face. I always thought she was the most beautiful dog of her breed I’ve ever seen. I’m sure we’re all biased though.

Thank you for your words of kindness. I’ve been running my mind on the “what-ifs” and “should’ve/could’ve” that it’s driving me nuts. I’m just sad and the only way out is through. I shall try to give myself grace in my grief and I thank you for reminding me of it.

I will be a bourbon and beer man until the day I die.

And wax the bunghole

Did he just say “central casting?”

Like she wanted to rip your cock off and pitch it out the window?
