		<description>I know what you mean about knowing it will be brutal but having no idea.  Springers live to be maybe 14 years old generally, so each day past that was a blessing for us, something to be treasured, and I knew the end was coming for months before it did, and yet when it did, it was like all the oxygen got sucked off the planet and all my senses were taken away from me.  All I had was this void that couldn&#039;t be filled.  I kept saying to Tim, &quot;How do I do this?&quot; I didn&#039;t know how to be without Muggins.  And I talk to her daily still, the new babies (in our case, just one, Ducky) put the smiles back into our lives and open up our hearts even further.  What a happy day June 28th will be for you, Cher!!</description>

		<description>Oh, what a wonderful story.  I totally understand about the grief.  Our Spike, our sweetest boy, mini dachshund--Spike Badoikins, Mr. Pajamas, Mr. Snort, Sweetness..forever companion passed on May 14th.  He had a stroke in the middle of the night.  An hour or so later we were putting him down.  I knew it was going to be brutal when he passed but I had no idea.  I didn&#039;t think I was going to be able to bear the pain.  I couldn&#039;t stop crying.

But on June 28th we will welcome two new fur babies--mini dachshunds into our hearts.  Actually they are already there we just can&#039;t bring them home until then. :-)  

Have a great day,

Cher</description>

		<description>LOL--Funny--that laying spread-eagled on the back is a Springer thing.  Ducky does it too and Muggins did--my term is &quot;brazen little hussy.&quot;  :)  

Thanks so much, Karen, for your comment.  I&#039;m so glad you enjoy the site, and I know what you mean about the frustration--and Muggins helps me with Ducky too because I remember how fast the time goes, and I cherish every single wild moment I have with Ducky, as I know you do your moments with Rainy!</description>

		<description>Hi Ande, 

How I enjoy your site! When I saw Muggins picture the other day, it wispered in my ear to get to know her better. I just read the tale about her entering your life...&amp; then leaving in such a dignified manner. Again, you touched me so deeply, Ande. When I&#039;m ready to pull my (or Rainy&#039;s) hair out in frustration of raising a silly puppy, I&#039;ll think of Muggins. 

As I write this note, I glanced at Rainy laying on the office floor sleeping so soundly. (she&#039;s spread eagle on her back...Don calls her a slut!) How can we not smile at such a gift as unconditional love.

Take care. Karen &amp; Rainy</description>
