 Message From: (Private) August 21, 2008 I just read Magee's story and had tears in my eyes. How awful that no one thought to help him after seeing him roaming the streets. Even more awful, the fact that the person who hit him with a car didn't stop. It took a 6-year-old to recognize the difference between right and wrong, and to help the poor dog. I commend the child for taking a sad, injured animal home. Best wishes to Magee and the kid who helped him! Message From: Sharon Martinez April 29, 2008 I decided to write this message after spending the last two hrs crying as I went through this entire website!!! I had never experienced a doxie before until my father who didn't live with me, but in South Dakota (and I'm in Arizona) lost his doxie of 10 yrs. There was a lady from our church who's doxie had 6 gorgeous little pups and one was a precious little black and tan mini female that looked just like dad's dog Jack. So, I decided we would go ahead and take her and get her ready to ship to dad when the time came. Well, my dad started getting really sick and the longer we had our little Priscilla, the harder the thought to send her to my dad. I burried my dad on January 16th of this year and he never did get to meet Priscilla. That little girl really livened up our home! We have two older dogs, a yorkie and a golden retriever that she kept young! There wasn't a day that went by that Priscilla didn't do something just totally amazing that would have my mom and I shaking our heads and laughing! She would curl up anywhere and go to sleep but she mostly liked to lay in the crook of our arms on her back. She loved to burrow under the covers as long as a part of her was touching one of us at all times! She just loved to be kissed on her little nose all day long. She would cuddle and snuggle and never ever got tired of being held and kissed. Sadly, 5 weeks ago, my mom took all of our dogs to get their baths and toenails clipped to a place we had taken our yorkie for the last 5 yrs! Priscilla had never been out of our home since we got her. Nine days after that little trip, Priscilla started getting very sick. We took her to the vet immediately and they told us it was parvo, but that there was a 50/50 chance that with the antibiotic and the hydrating IV's she would be ok. Six days later, we put our little girl down. Even up to the last minute, with an IV in her little leg, I didn't want to give up hope that she could turn it all around and beat this and be ok! Then the vet told me what parvo really is and what it does to a dog! My God, I was devestated and fealt SO GUILTY for making her suffer for those very long 6 days!!!! Had I known what parvo was and what it does to a dog, I never would have made her wait 6 days to be rid of the pain and missery. What's sad, is that the vet told us had we been able to afford to leave her there where she could receive 24/hr IV's and care, she may have made it. My mom and I work hard and have good jobs, but there was no way that I could afford $300/day to try and keep her alive. It's sad that it always comes down to money!! Our hearts are completely broken. There isn't an hour that goes by that I don't think of her in some way. The hardest part is when I have been gone from our home and I walk through the front door and there's no Priscilla to greet me with her little wiggly butt going 100 mph! Our Golden goes outside every night and howls and barks for a while and then just listens, then starts all over again. Like us, his heart is broken and he is calling for his little girl to come home. We didn't think that we could ever have another doxie in our home after the loss of Priscilla, but to be honest, I don't think we could stand to have a home without another Doxie in it!!! I truly thought that we had a super dog like no other, and we did, but I have come to realize that all Doxie's have similar traits, like the burrowing under covers, the talking, the digging..lol, and so many other wonderful things that brought smiles to our faces every single day that we had her in our lives. As hard as it is and as much as we truly miss our little girl, I would like to think that she has crossed the bridge and is receiving little kisses on her nose from my dad! I picture her running around in fields of tall grass chasing butterflies! I have this silly picture in my mind, last summer when our grass had grown out of control, we would let her out to go potty and you couldn't find her in the yard!! Every so feet, she would come jumping out of the grass and then dissapear again. I hope that she is doing just that and is free of pain and suffering! I do apologize that this message is so long, but I truly have needed somewhere to talk about my special little girl. I thank you all for your love of Doxies and taking rescues into your homes. We too hope to adopt one of these sweet doxies and give her a forever home full of love!! Nothing could ever replace Priscilla, but I feel like the void could definately be filled with another doxie in need of a loving family! In Loving Memory of our Baby Girl Priscilla Sharon Martinez & Vicki Rodriguez Message From: Nancy Pixton April 27, 2008 I have adopted 2 precious family members from your rescue, Lady, (Duchess) and I just got a litte one named Henry.

Message From: Suse February 22, 2008 Such wonderful, wonderful news on Suzie! I'm thrilled to no end for her and will keep healing vibes coming her way! Message From: Suse February 22, 2008 I just read the update. My thoughts and prayers continue to go out for Suzie. May she recover quickly and get to enjoy being a happy little dog.

In 2003 I lost my baby. She was 13 yr old dachsund name skippy She crawled up on the couch and died in her sleep. I felt like I lost a child. Now I have Buddy a three yr old black and tan. He's everything you explain on your website from eating dirt to barking at nothing but I love him to death. Without him my life wouldn't be the same. I am also looking to get another. I prefer a young red female longhair. |
