I was wondering how you were doing. <br />I have felt all the exact same things you have in the last few months, it's like you are describing my life. <br />You ask "How soon is too soon?" <br />My answer is it's never too soon.<br /> After our doxie passed on someone told me the best medicine is to get another one. At first I thought she was crazy and it would be wrong to get another dog so soon. But the house was too quiet and lonely and we knew we needed to bring another doxie into our home. We ended up rescuing a little 2 year old dachshund and now I'm glad we did. He will NEVER replace our other dog, but he helps fill the void and we have plenty of love to give him. :)<br /><br />Please keep us updated on your possible new arrival.<br />I hope you decide to come back and post more doxie stories, I love this blog!<br /> -KrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954899999461832288.post-51768095096289728022011-09-29T23:18:14.971-05:002011-09-29T23:18:14.971-05:00I am so happy to hear that you may have found a ne...I am so happy to hear that you may have found a new little doxie to fill your house....

Wishing comfort to yourself and Joey. My last beloved dog loss was 24 years ago and I waited 19 years until Ozzie eneterd my life unexpectedly, so I will defer to the wiser counsel of those above me; how I wish I had those years back. Speaking of loss and with respect to your feelings, The loss of the Dachshund Love Blogspot would be a huge loss to the community of dachshund loving souls that it so effectively binds together. Many of of would be lost without it. Even if you feel it would need to ressurect under a different name or format out of respect to Maggie, we truly believe that it needs to ressurect.

It truly has made me feel like a part of a community where everyone shares a great love for dachshunds. Maggie was a beautiful girl and I don't think you should give up the blog now that she has gone. The blog is a great way we can keep her memory alive and keep sharing stories about this beloved breed. Besides, wonderful Joey still has many stories to tell and we can all look back on the adventures of Joey and Maggie with great love. I love this blog and community and hope you'll keep going for us!

Love all the comments up above, how everybody adopted a new friend when a loved one died. They never replace your lost babies but are a tribute to them as dogs have no meanness in them and Maggie we are sure would want a "Pup in Need" to have a wonderful home such as she did. Like so many, my mom too, adopted a pup in need 1 week after our little Happy passed and then another pup in need when LollyPop tragically passed in an accident this past May. There's always room for more love. Go for the little guy who's eyes captured you. And yes, we are sure Maggie had something to do with that. Love from 4 rescued dachies from Quebec Canada.

When my beloved 19 year old dachshund/pomeranian mix passed several years ago, I thought I should have a certain amount of time, wait until it was practical to get another dog, and so on. A week later, a friend called and said a friend of a friend had dachshund pups that needed homes. There it was. Follow your heart, get the pup and start a new chapter of the blog.

It is refreshing to have you back Carson. After losing Sam, this blog was the lifeline that kept me connected to the dachshund world, and the people who truly understood what that little man meant to me. <br /><br />Without that support, I don't know how I would have made it through those times. Don't worry about how long is appropriate enough. I waited nearly a year before loving a dachshund again, and honestly, each day that passed, the love I had to share was wasted. Cherish each moment. Enjoy each belly laugh and each cuddle session. <br /><br />And please, keep writing. So many hearts out there need this blog. I did. And I think now, more than ever, you probably do too. :)the "florkens"https://www.blogger.com/profile/08476290302209963123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954899999461832288.post-61256156243806979442011-09-28T21:12:18.483-05:002011-09-28T21:12:18.483-05:00Hi Carson and Joey!

You put into words the emotional rollercoaster so many of us who have opened our hearts and homes to dachshunds and have had to ultimately deal with heartbreak and the emptiness when we lose one. When is too soon? That is something only you and Joey will know. It was a couple years for me and completely unplanned. A co-worker said one day: "Hey Liz, do you want a dachshund? I know of one that needs a home" Boom. That's all it took. After I lost Hoagie, I never thought I'd be able to let another doxie into my world. Wrong wrong wrong! My life is so much better for having realized that!

It was heart wrenching to watch her walk around with Haley's collar in her mouth, searching for Haley.<br /><br />I wanted to tell you, though, that there is no such thing as 'too soon.' Lots of doxies need homes and a friend for Joey is important. Three weeks after Haley passed away, Sophie came into our lives. It felt so soon and our grief was so heavy, but watching Bella play with Sophie the way she used to play only with Haley solidified our decision to adopt Soph. It is truly one of the best decisions my husband and I have ever made.<br /><br />I wish I could reach out and hug you, I know the grief you feel.Jessicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954899999461832288.post-63512444918665154192011-09-28T12:28:32.309-05:002011-09-28T12:28:32.309-05:00I'm so glad to see your post today and to know...I'm so glad to see your post today and to know that the two of you are doing better. I've been checking every day. I found your blog about 1-1/2 years ago around the time I lost my beloved doxie of 17-1/2 years. It was so hard, and I couldn't talk about him for a few weeks without crying. I was thankful, though, to have adopted a rescue a few years before so my other remaining doxie wasn't so lonely after he passed away. <br /><br />Finding your blog was a bright spot during those first weeks, and I've enjoyed visiting every day since. You also enlightened me to new rescue sites and stories I wouldn't have otherwise heard of. You are a wonderful loving dad, and any doxie would be lucky to get the two of you. <br /><br />Your friends in central Arkansas!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954899999461832288.post-75985856790401496742011-09-28T12:25:44.839-05:002011-09-28T12:25:44.839-05:00When we lost our beloved Dachshund we thought that...When we lost our beloved Dachshund we thought that was it...
