"HOW GOD MADE DACHSHUNDS"
God made a little dachsie to brighten up our day-
He took a bit of sunshine-
Laughter, love, and play-
and rolled it up in a sausage shape
just right for a hug,
with bright eyes full of mischief
set in its little mug.
With little paws a pattering,
to take it here and there-
and a cold wet nose-but then He thought,
"Oh, what about the hair?
Shall I make it long and silky,
or wiry, that's so sweet,
or make it simple, and have it smooth
and satiny and neat?
And what about the color-
how can I pick just one?
Shall it be black, or red or brown
or dappled, just for fun?"
He pondered while He made the world,
And all creatures great and small-
And then the answer came to Him-
"OF COURSE! I'll make them ALL!!"
So remember that a dachshund
is special, from above-
His coat of many colors
is a sign of God's great Love.

"RAINBOW BRIDGE"
Just this side of heaven is a place called
"Rainbow Bridge." When an animal dies
that has been especially close to
someone here, that pet goes to"Rainbow Bridge."
There are meadows and hills for all
of our special friends so they
can run and play together. There is
plenty of food, water and sunshine,
and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who have been ill and old
are restored to health and vigor;
those who were hurt or maimed are made
whole and strong again, just as we remember
them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content,
except for one small thing; they each
miss someone very special to them,
who had to be left behind. They all
run and play together, but the day comes
when one suddenly stops and looks into
the distance. His bright eyes are intent;
his eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly
he begins to run from the group,
flying over the green grass, his legs
carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you
and your special friend finally meet,
you cling together in joyous reunion,
never to be parted again.
The happy kisses rain upon your face;
your hands again caress the beloved head,
and you look once more into the trusting
eyes of your pet,so long gone from your
life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together ...

"MY DOG"
To her you're always smart and fair
She's sure that you're a god,
Whose wagging tail relieves each care?
It's just my friend, my dog.
No strings attach to faithfulness
Demands by her are few
No value put on your success
She asks but love from you.
She has a soul of that I'm sure
To heaven which must wend
With others loved, for evermore
To live, my dog my friend.
~Poem by Mel Austin~
