RIP Jeddie

Our darling much loved Jeddie died today. I can't imagine life without him. 12 and half years ago we went to a breeder in Lowood and picked out a Miniature Dachshund puppy from a litter of 6. In a few decades of not so sensible decisions, this one was sterling! What a treasure he was. 

 He'll be remembered for his ability to evoke a startled squawk from unsuspecting owners of bare ankles, under the table, with a cold wet nose...
   For his distinctive high sharp single bark to alert us to the fact that it's dinner time, had we forgotten?
   For his tipping his head into our chests and purring with pleasure when cuddled...
   For his ferocious bark and willingness to take on ANY dog, ANY size, ANY time!
  For his loyalty, his sheer good natured doginess, and his love a thousandfold returned...
There's a Jeddie-sized hole in our hearts. Happy hunting dear Jed.
