For those of you who don't know, this is how Michele came into my life:

GCDR got an email asking if we could possibly have room for 3 dachshunds who had been left to breed in an abandoned trailer in Alabama. At first, I only said I'd take the girls,

and then quickly relented and agreed to take the boy too.

Those dogs were Rusty, Michele and Cassie. I drove up to get them in Meredian MS and was sick with bronchitis, thowing up on the drive home. Very disturbing.
They made themselves right at home, and were Anipals within a couple of days.

Michele was such a tiny thing! I'd never seen a dachshund so small.

But she was a force to be reckoned with.

She loved digging. She lived for digging.

She slept in the big bed

She slept in the cozy cave

She was my little shin humping face kissin' girl. Barked when I was too slow with the puppy suppertime, and now the silence is deafening.
I miss you Michele. I miss everything about you. You were a pretty big dog for such a little thing. I love you always, and pray that I did right by you.

Dang, Andrea...that was awesome! :hug99: You did more than right by her...you gave her a loving home, a loving mom and a whole bunch of 'siblings' to be loved by. :hearts: It doesn't get much better than that.

*sigh* Stoopid leaky eyes... :sosad:

Although I was never blessed with a Michele shin humping, I was subject to face kissing at Buda! She was such a sweet poptart! Andrea you should have no doubt in your mind that you did right by that girl! You are the best there is! :hug99:

Must have something in my eyes again, they are real watery.


I was blessed to have been shin humped and kissed during and afterwards by Michele. I saw the love that she had for you Andrea when she waswaiting to getting bites of your fruit salad. You did the absolute BEST for her and I know she knew it. When you went to Walmart she missed you and was So SO very happy to see you when you came in the door, she knew she was loved as do ALL the Anipals.:hug99:

Oh heavens..... the leaky eyes are pouring.... what a loving special tribute to a special special little girl. Did her right? OMG Andrea, you did it all....... It breaks my heart that she couldn't have stayed longer, but God needed her for a reason. You gave her life and love....you gave her what she deserved.

It may sound strange, but I'm happy I got to share her humpathon with you Brooke. I wanted everyone to get to see this special tiny dog I'd gotten, and she showed off for you at Zandra's.

Michelle knew she had the best mom, paws down. And now she is there with Grrrt and Dusty, and they are all telling the other pups all about you.

She is missed by all of us.:hearts: :hearts:

A beautiful tribute for a beautiful little girl. I was quite taken with Michele just through pictures right from the start. I don't know if it was her size or my penchant for black and tan smooth girls but I just really looked forward to you posting pictures of her.

I can only imagine the hole you have in your heart now Andrea. Bless you for giving her a happy home full of love before she crossed the bridge.

I was having trouble viewing these pictures....something must be wrong with my monitor...everything is VERY blurry...like tears. What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful pup......I know she's digging right now... a hole big enough to watch over "Anipal Palace":hearts: :hearts: :hearts:

Put too much stoopid garlic in the Olive Garden again.... makes for way much leaky eyes...
She was loved. She loved back. May we all be so lucky.

Andrea what a lovely tribute! :hug99: :hug99:
I :love9: the picture of Wusty and Michele howling together. And the pic with her head in the Doritos bag is priceless. I remember the series of photos with Otto setting her up. So much fun! So much love in your house! She'll be sorely missed. :angel:
