Last year, right before Christmas, Emilie crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
We were all devastated, but unfortunately Dachshunds are prone to IVDD and even though Simonne had pulled through with this condition 2 years ago, Emilie did not.

| R.I.P. Emilie |
Not long after Emilie left us, Simonne's former owner contacted us saying that the Doxie we had been looking at since he got her was going to be retired early.
Would we want her?
Oh my goodness!!
Yes!!!
Yes!!!
Simonne was lonely without a partner in crime so we decided to adopt
Grenouille!
We had to wait and see how her latest pregnancy turned out first.
She was being retired early because she kept having pregnancy issues.
Her first litter only produced one puppy and this one looked like no puppies.
So she ended with no puppies. The breeder is not a puppy mill. He's a very reputable breeder, he treats his dogs like his own children and when he sees one of his mommas has issues
he doesn't breed them anymore.
So the weekend of April 2nd, Dave hopped in with a truck driver buddy of his (he brought Simonne to us) and went to Quebec to pick up Grenouille.
She's only 3.5 years old, so she still has a lot of living to do for a retiree!
She's a sweetie and at first she was very shy with us.
But that lasted all of a week or so.
She took to Simonne right away and Simonne took to her.
Grenouille is a dapple miniature Dachshund
I mean look at that face!
How can you resist that!
Where there's one, there's the other.
I brought Grenouille to the vet last week and they asked me if they got along especially with the large age gap. (Simonne is 11).
What do you think?
And with a name like Grenouille
she needed to come here.
It was meant to be.
Have a Blessed Day!
