GOOSIE left me today. He came to me in June 2000 and it was not enough time. I adopted him from DRNA and he started my passion for rescue. My heart is breaking yet I know it was his time.

Yolanda,
More heartfelt wishes on the loss of Goosie! I am still trying to let it sink in that the little guy has crossed the Bridge. May the memories of all your time with him, however short, be lasting and always give you comfort. He knew he was loved and got to inspire countless others to foster and adopt.:symp4:

Yolanda - no words, just heartbreak. Although I know Goosie is now running free and honking all over the place, it just doesn't seem right that he isn't with you. Many tears are flowing for The GooseMan, he was a one of a kind.
:candle3: Godspeed sweet Goosie.

:hug99: Yo....

It is fitting that today, Veteran's Day, is the day he went. He truly was a little soldier in the war we rescuers fight against ignorance, puppymills, and back yard breeders.
I know your heart is broken. I know that all the candles lit and kind words don't give you what you really want. It's OK to feel that way. He is being treated like a King at the bridge, and he will watch over you. He is whole and young and happy.
I know, Yolanda. I know. Going home to a house full of dogs and there is one who should not be gone. One who should not have been silenced, ever. But it doesn't work that way. Time will make it easier to bear the loss, and the hurt won't be so sharp and pointed directly in your heart. Until then, all we can offer are our shoulders to lean on, and our hearts to share the burden.

I'm so sorry to hear about GOOSEman's passing. :( Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. It was an honor to be able to meet GOOSEman and hold him in my arms. Our first dachshund meet-up ever was when we met you and GOOSIE at the Midwest Dachshund Picnic in 2004. Here is a picture from that day:

I'm so sorry...I know the tears shed here aren't but a tiny fraction of the ones you will cry. He was one in a million...your heart dog and I am so grateful you found each other.

I really don't know what to say... I'm in shock. Although we all knew how old Gooseman was this was the last thing I expected to happen. Andrea said it best.

My deepest sympathies Yo. I'm so, so sorry. He was one of the most special ones.

Run free at the Bridge, Goose, and watch over your mom. We all :love98::love98: and will miss you very much.

Yo, I am so sorry....please take comfort in the fact that you gave him so many years of love and care, really heaven on earth. He stayed a long time to be with you, but now he is young again running at the bridge waiting for the day you will be united.
Run free and happy Gooseman !!!!!! :hug99::hug99::hug99:

I've only been a member for a very short while here but I've known about the Gooseman for years, as One L used to always show me pics and tell me about him, he seemed like a really special boy and my heart goes out to you.:candle13:

:hug99::hug99: Yo. Even when we know it's coming, it's still so hard. He was such a special little guy, and the work he did for rescue is immeasurable. We're all grieving with you. Godspeed, little man, run free and whole at the bridge. You'll be together again. :candle2:

And in the night when our dreams are still
Or when the wind flows free
I'll keep your heart with mine
Till you come to me.

I am also one of the honored that got to meet Da Goose. I always had the hardest time putting him down. As Yo would say, "Goose is missing.. Where's Amanda?" He will be missed! :sosad:

Oh, Yolanda, I'm so sorry! I've been dreading the day I'd come on here to read that he'd passed. I was hoping he'd live forever and I'm so, so sad. My heart goes out to you- I know he was your little man.

:candle: Goose, you were one of the most famous little man-dogs around and you will be missed.

Yolanda, I am sad :( We have all lost the true Elder Statesman of the DLC. I always just sort of took it for granted the Gooseman would be one of those dogs that would live til he was 30.

I have been dreading this post. When I saw his name, my heart dropped. He was your heart dog, and he loved you as much as you loved him. Thank you for saving him, and giving him a wonderful twilight of his life. You will meet again. Until then... :candle:

I just read about Goosie's passing on Facebook and have been crying buckets. I am so very sorry Yolanda, my deepest most heartfelt condolences. Even though I never met Goosie I fell in love with his little face the second I joined DLC. We all love many dogs in our lives but there are always the specials ones that we love with not only our hearts but our souls. Godspeed Gooseman, you will be greatly missed.

I know he blessed more people then you could count and I am one of them, I will miss his gossie honk, my thoughts and prayers are with you:hug99::hug99::angel::sosad:

I am so sorry to hear this and am sorry this is late. I have been MIA.Goosie was a true dachshund hero and I always hoped I would be able to hug him someday and give him a big smooch. I blow a kiss toward the stars.Thank you for saving him and loving him and sharing him with all of us who now hold him in our hearts too. Run free sweet man.:symp1:
