Four years ago today, our beloved Ginger, foundress of the DWM, went to the Rainbow Bridge unexpectedly.  She had not been ill- in fact has been to the vet for her annual exam two weeks earlier.  She drifted off to heaven while sleeping next to me as I embroidered.  My heart broke and for two weeks I was inconsolable, even with four other dachshunds holding my hand.  I could feel her and hear her tags jangling for weeks afterwards.  Our move to St Louis and Snoopy's adoption finally helped me start to heal-  (am convinced Ginger sent Snoopy to look after me- he is as possessive, even more so, than Ginger, and he always has to have me in his line of sight)

Miss you Ginger.  Mama still misses you and loves you.
