This incident came up when my wife and I were discussing how much we
miss our first rescue, Anna, who was an 8-lb miniature dachshund/
chihuahua mix who died on 23 January 2004.

The first year we had her, we had to go away for a weekend so we were
recommended by a friend who is a Keeshond breeder to use a local
kennel. We dropped our tiny dog off and went on our trip.
When I went back to get her on Monday, the people at the kennel gave
me sideways glances. They brought Anna to me and I found my self
standing there holding this brown, 8-lb, bundle of love while standing
between 2 guys who had full-grown German Shepherds.
The kennel owner told me that Anna was no longer welcome at the kennel
as she had terrorized the other dogs.
I looked down at the two German Shepherds and then at the two guys.
They looked embarassed.

I was so proud that she had stood her ground as I imagine she
continues to do to this day up in Heaven.

The best place to keep a dog is in your heart. Anna will always be there
as long as you live.

May her memory be eternal.

It is nice how eventually we can think about and share stories about them
and even laugh about things they did.
Sorry for your loss.
