White's Sir Wiggly Cosimo
where do i start with this little guy, he was my whole world and i really do mean that, i brought him into this world and fought to keep him alive. wasn't even planning on keeping him till my youngest daughter got close to him and yeah i do mean she was close with him, dressing him up in baby doll clothes and pushing him around in a baby doll stroller, he didn't mind at all his feet never hit the floor till he ws 5 weeks old. he let her do anything to him she wanted to he loved her and she loved him and i grew more attached as well he was white sir wiggles ii grandson so i really kinda wanted to keep the bloodline around. so i guess you've figured out by now this little guy stayed and we name him cosimo, over the years he never bred a female, he had several issues and allergies to a lot of stuff and could never figure out what. my ex-husband was not nice to him so he was really not fond of men, so when i met my husband he tried to pet him and cosimo tried to bite his hand, but i picked him up and let my husband pet him and what can i say they were best friends from there on out. my husband joined the us army and was gone to basic and ait for 4 months so when he came home, cosimo was so happy to see him he wouldn't let him put him down. cosimo had this crazy thing he did he howls when you howl at him or if crazy frog crazy train by axel f was played. well after basic and ait, he had to go to his duty station and then they sent him down range for 10 months, so as you can only imagine, how much cosimo missed him, everytime we talked on skype Cosimo had to say hi to his daddy, so all of his battle buddies would give him crap about talking to his dog and as he would always say
"heck yeah", i love that little guy. my husband got out of the us army with a honorable discharge and we moved back to missouri, we then started breeding dachshunds again, but cosimo had gotten older and his health had gotten worse and it had put a real strain on the family because we knew that he wasn't getting any younger, but none of us wanted to think about him not being a part of our family anymore. i have always found it hard to have to put a animal down, even if its what they need, but then i lost my mom and i realized i was the one that brought him into this world i needed to be the one there and be the last person he sees and hears when he leaves this world. let me tell you it was the hardest thing i ever had to do, but at the same time i felt pretty glad that i was there with him telling him it was going to be ok and that we would be back together again someday soon. well he is gone and has been for a few years now and is missed everyday, there will never be another cosimo boy, he was the one and only. Rest now my Boy, Mommy Loves You, we will be together again soon.

The Rainbow Bridge
just this side of heaven is a place called the rainbow bridge. when a beloved pet dies who has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to the rainbow bridge. it is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass. there is always plenty of food and water and sunshine; our friends are warm and comfortable. those old and frail animals are young again, restored to health and vigor. those who have been hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again. the animals play all day, they are happy and content with each other. but, there is only one thing missing. they are not with their special person who loved them on earth; the one who had to be left behind. then the day comes when one suddeny stops and looks into the distance. the bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. suddenly they break away from the group, flying over the green grass; their legs carrying them faster and faster. you have been seen. and when you and your special friend meet, you take them in your arms and embrace. the happy kisses rain over your face. your hands again caress their beloved head. you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet. and then, together, you cross the rainbow bridge, never to be seperated.
Bartel's Guardian Angel
Well what to say about angel, i had gotten her for my husband while he was in the us army. he was told the very next day he was getting sent down range for 10 months. i knew nothing about raising a german shepherd all i have ever had was mini long-haired dachshunds my whole life, so i had know idea what to do as far as training her and i was living out of my home state, so i didn't have any friends. so i did the best i could while he was gone, after he got home we worked together to train her. he then got honorably discharged from the us army and we moved back to missouri. she loved to play frisbee, but we had to stop letting her play because she had problems with her hips. she was so loved and so happy she's was almost 10 when we lost her, she past in her sleep, so at least she didn't suffer. we miss you, big mama, angel, go rest your wings and just glance downwards on us. we love you, everyday.
