The stomping ground of Ramsay the Dachshund!

where'd you go, grandpa?

My Dad loved dogs, and had a very special place in his heart for our little snausage.  I think it's safe to say that the feeling was mutual.  Dogbert loved spending time with him, and could often be found curled up on Dad's lap to get scratchies, or hanging out in the hot dog bun created by the space between Dad's blanketed legs.  Other times, Ramsay could be seen exfoliating Dad's face with his tongue.  Dad never complained.  He loved it, and simply asked my Mom to swab down his face when our little four-legged nurse was done with his duties.  When Dad was not in his chair, Ramsay sat in it - as if to guard against anyone else taking his grandpa's spot.

We lost my Dad about a month ago, and things have not been the same.  But he will be in our hearts and minds forever....and we suspect in Ramsay's too.

Rest in peace, Dad.  You are gone but not forgotten...
