I lost my beloved Duchess this week after almost 14 years of loving companionship. Eight years ago I accepted a teaching position in Kuwait and brought her with me. Although going potty in the sand rather than the grass was a bit of an adjustment for her, she seemed happy to be with me. Living in the Middle East was an adjustment for me too and having my precious Baby Dog as I often called her made the transition easier. I feel blessed and grateful to have had her in my life as long as I did. Duchess was just 4 weeks old when my daughter (who was in the 8th grade at the time and is now 28) picked her out as "the one" she wanted when Duchess would be weaned and ready to come live with us. It seems like so long ago. The kids grew up (my son was a senior in high school when Duchess came to live with us...he'll be 32 this year) and moved out, but I always had my Baby Dog. She was my family. She slept with me and it was such a comfort to stroke her little head and feel her soft fur as I drifted off to sleep or woke in the night. Now my heart is breaking because my dear little friend is gone. As I go through the grieving process I am comforted in knowing that she'll be waiting for me when I cross over. When I am ready, perhaps there will be another dashie that I can love on and spoil. My question here is, "Is it possible to give an older mini-Dachshund a forever home from this site knowing that she would have to accompany me back to Kuwait?" I travel home to the States every summer and stay with my sister who lives outside of the Sacramento area. Thanks for all you do for these wonderful little doggies.
