Macy Tait
Rainbow Bridge November 26, 2024
We had a rough week saying goodbye to Macy, she was named Frieda Rich by DRoH,
but her intake papers from CAP had her original name, so we kept it.
We adopted her on Jan 27, 2012, our last foster failure. She was such a spunky
little girl with a huge personality and even bigger attitude! ❤️
She was 16 1/2, long life, I know , but not long enough for us.
She had kidney failure and went to the Rainbow Bridge on Nov 26, 2024. We miss her terribly. 💔
Macy was a little girl with a big attitude, she filled our lives with laughter and so much love.
Rest in Peace, sweet girl. 🌈

Tobi Tennison Tracy
Rainbow Bridge May 15, 2024
It is with a heavy and broken heart to share that I suddenly and unexpectedly lost my sweet beagle boy Tobi Tennison.
I’m absolutely devastated and crushed…and the last two weeks have been some of the hardest that I’ve experienced in my life.
He came to me at a point in my life when I didn’t believe I’d ever have another dog—I had just lost Riley and I didn’t want to
experience that kind of loss again. But as luck would have it, I moved in with my brother, and Tobi was one of the dogs he rescued.
Needless to say, Tobi quickly became my boy. He helped me through a rough time, and changed my mind on having another dog. And here
I am again, going through shattering loss…and I wouldn’t change what we had or the time we shared for anything in the world—it was worth it,
heartbreak and all.
Tobi was the best boy…loving, perceptive, smart, well-mannered, and protective. He was the ever vigilant watch dog and enjoyed looking
out the window…Fiercely loyal, he stayed by my side constantly and slept next to me every single night. He loved his blankies and string
cheese and always greeted me with a wiggling butt. He was such a blessing in my life—he filled my days with so much love, happiness and
warmth, and was my best friend through life’s highs and lows. I couldn’t have been blessed with a better dog than him. 🐶🩵🙏🏻💙
Tobi was a happy, healthy dog with no *known* medical issues; he was at the vet a week prior and received a good report— and the
consensus by his vets is that he had an aneurysm. He passed away peacefully in his sleep and felt no pain, and as hard as this is,
I’m grateful for that much.
Grief is the price we pay for love, and I’ve cried an ocean of tears since losing him. Our family has been blindsided by this,
and words will never be able to describe how much I loved him-or how much my mom and brother loved him. 🤍🤍🤍
My days will never be the same, and the void that is in my heart is filled with sadness and crushing pain. 💔
My favorite place in the world was next to you and although a piece of my heart is now missing, I know we will be together again
one day—It’s not good bye, it’s see you later my sweet boy. 🌈☁️🐾
I love you with all my heart, and I miss you terribly Ten. Rest well in heaven my angel. 🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵

Ozzie Fitzgerald Tracy
Adopted April 2, 2009 (Dachshund Rescue of Houston)
Rainbow Bridge April 18, 2024
Our sweetest, most precious, beloved Ozzie Fitzgerald Tracy crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Thursday afternoon, April 18. I know he is having fun swimming and exploring and checking out new adventures. Our hearts are crushed as we grieve his loss and will never mend. Ozzie will forever be our little red dapple doxie boy.
Ozzie loved meeting everyone wherever we went and everyone loved him in return. He was so affectionate and never met a stranger.
Ozzie was the biggest cuddler with chunky puppy paws and the most adorable big ears.
Although, Trae, Allison and I are so heartbroken, our hearts are filled with gratitude for all the love and joy he brought to our family, and we are forever thankful to be blessed with the 16 amazing years we had together.
Ozzie is loved beyond measure and missed so very deeply. The house just isn’t the same without him. As difficult as it is, we know it’s not goodbye forever…it’s until we see you again our sweetest boy.
Ozzie was adopted from Dachshund Rescue of Houston on Valentine’s Day of 2009 and it has been the sweetest love story ever since.
Special thanks to Dr. Cyndi Estrade for doing the most heartfelt thing in adopting a new dog for herself last week in Ozzie’s memory.
To know Ozzie truly was to love him.
We’ll love you forever…to the moon and back…and we’ll miss you terribly until we all meet again our little chunk. ❤️❤️❤️

Melody Stryker
Adopted December 22, 2011 (Dachshund Rescue of Houston
Rainbow Bridge March 7, 2024
Melody went over the Rainbow 🌈 bridge today. She had a rough night so I took her to my vet and they said she was in a decline.
I made the difficult decision to let her pass. She was my first adoption and a terrific dog. ❤️🌈
Melody was the perfect Dachshund. She loved to hunt lizards. She would stalk a lizard for hours until it got close enough
for her to pounce. Melody was very loyal and protective of her family, and would bark so fierce that neighbors would walk
on the opposite side of the street! LOL
When Melody was about 12 she-started to lose her sight. She was such a trooper that
she still continued to want to walk around the neighborhood and sniff. At the age of 14-15 she came down with diabetes.
She did ok for about 3-4 months until her body started to shut down.
Her sister Dorothy Gale really misses her buddy.
She looks for her and sleeps in her bed. Melody was very loved and we miss her everyday❤️🐶

Audrey Rose Dexter
Rainbow Bridge February 26, 2024
I have some sad news. I had to put our dear Audrey Rose to sleep. She was
the absolute love of my life. She had medical issues which were consistently addressed,
but they piled up on her and we had to consider her quality of life. I held her (and cried my heart out) as she was peacefully put to sleep.

Fanta Gill
Adopted July 30, 2011 (Dachshund Rescue of Houston)
Rainbow Bridge January 25, 2024
I just wanted to let you know Fanta crossed the rainbow bridge on January 25th. My heart is so broken. Thank you for sharing her with me. We had 12 great years together.
The day before she passed, we found out she had cancer. I brought her home not knowing she was leaving that night, but my daughter and I were with her.
I’m thankful she didn’t have to suffer, but I miss her so much!

Bruni Lavigne
Adopted Dec. 19, 2009 (Dachshund Rescue of Houston)
Rainbow Bridge January 24, 2024
We lost our beautiful Bruni girl in the early morning hours of January 24, 2024. It was quite sudden and has left us devastated as we are still mourning the loss of Cinnie just
four months earlier! For a sixteen-year-old, Bruni had seemed to be healthy but out of the blue she had a problem, and we rushed her to Gulf Coast where we left her for testing.
I was called at midnight to be told she probably wouldn’t make it through the night! I drove there and talked to the clinic vet while holding her … we determined the best course
was to let our little girl go so I for continued holding her for a while and talked with our Bruni telling her how much we loved her. Then the vet gently gave her meds to let her
pass over the Rainbow Bridge.
We adopted Bruni from Dachshund Rescue of Houston fourteen years ago and for the first time in my life I had a pup that preferred someone other than me. It was quite humbling! Bruni was a Daddy’s Girl
through and through … she would come curl up with me when Daddy wasn’t available, but I knew where she would prefer to be. Suzanne brought her over for a Meet & Greet with Simon our
little male doxy who was very picky about who he would allow to share his home. After Simon approved of Bruni and arrangements made for Bruni to become a member of our family,
Suzanne and Mike were leaving, and Bruni went tearing out the front door … Simon may have approved of Bruni, but Bruni wasn’t letting Suzanne and Mike leave without her! Suzanne
then went tearing after Bruni and fell, hitting cement which ultimately left her with a black eye! Quite a beginning. After they left, I spent a little time with Bruni but had to
go shopping since it was Christmas, so Jack spent the next few hours holding Bruni in his lap consoling her … creating Daddy’s Girl.
Bruni was such a special girl … she and Simon became best friends and when he became an elder statesman at 18, she was so gentle and would cuddle and console him.
She was our Energizer Bunny and later when it was Bruni and Cinnie (about the same size), we would feed Bruni about a third more food than Cinnie to make up for the increased activity.
She LOVED trapsing around in my garden, seeking out geckos and on more than one occasion brought us a small snake, usually not alive. 😊
Her other love was squeaky toys!!! She delighted in them, and nothing would make her happier than when I came home with a new squeaky. Bruni’s toy box was filled with toys
from different seasons or just ones I thought she would love. There is a Mickey that is almost as long as she was that she would drag through the house. It was such fun when
she got a new squeaky to watch her figuring out where the magic sound spots were, but once she found them, be ready. In the evening, we lie in bed and watch a TV show, and she
would always have a squeaky with her. Often, she would get up, and down the ramp she would go … you could hear her searching through the toy box for just the right replacement
and then back she would come happy as could be.
As Bruni became a senior citizen, she was quite demanding, and quite vocal, about everything, and it was our job to figure out what she wanted. Usually, it was to go outside.
However, the time periods for staying outside became shorter, but the requests were quite often making us her private doormen. She was still our energizer bunny, but the batteries
were wearing down.
Bruni’s inner clock would inevitably bring her to me, loudly letting me know it was 9:00, time for the “tooth treat” or 5:00, dinner time, sometimes maybe just a little early.
She might choose to look around the doorway using the “aren’t I cute” trick or if she and Cinnie ganged up on me jumping all over and around (which was often), I had no other choice
but to give in.
We miss both our girls so much and cannot believe that Bruni Girl left us so suddenly. We miss you Baby Girl. Have some cuddles with Cinnie, Simon and also Samantha who was
with us for such a short time.
