Dachshund Mafia
Resources. Rescue. Connection.
It is with mixed emotions I share that I helped our boy, Blaze, transition out of his physical body today. It was time, he was tired. He missed his best friends .. the original “Dachshund Mafia”. This is him with Tuna (left), his son, and Tiffany, his Love. We often listened to Elvis’ “Hound, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Accept support and comfort.” This is an interesting one for me to write about. Most of my life I’ve been the one who has been offering support and/or comfort to others, starting with when I was a child. It’s fascinating to me as ultimately we all live in “animal bodies” which, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Savor the good.” I LOVE this one picture of Prince. I am so grateful we did warmer weather today. It may have only been in the 50s or so; yet it was warm enough to open the window when we went for a drive. I looked up the word “savor”. This, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Peace comes from within.” I am fascinated by today’s “gift” from Prince as I’m not currently feeling very peaceful as it’s become evident Prince’s time in physical body is waning. Over and over I kept hearing “peace comes from within”. I keep chuckling as I have NO clue what will be, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Feel life fully.” I continue to be amazed at Prince’s high interest in going for at least one r-i-d-e a day, given more and more he’s not sitting or standing up watching out the window as he has. L ately, he’s been lying in my lap or on the seat. Yet, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “All in right timing.” This is a philosophy I’ve lived with for many years. Inevitably, as these things go, MUCH easier to put into practice and/or live when things aren’t as important as what’s going on with Prince. I had a lot to get done the past couple of days; yet, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Make a choice; you can always make another choice.” I made the choice to let Prince make his own choices about his path with his stomach cancer. He’s a boy with a serious behavioral issue, biting, which we haven’t had to deal with in some time. The choices he’s made already, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Embrace the quiet.” I’ve been of the higher energy, active ilk most of my life. I was running at age nine months even. Quiet has not been my “friend” much of my life; I’m learning how to be friends with it now. Another gift from Prince since I’ve never made peace, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Go with the flow.” Today was generally a good day, as a couple of different friends asked me tonight. I find it odd that my life seems to be mostly about how mostly Prince and Blaze do on a particular day. I am fortunate in that I am home with them,, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Love comes in all forms”. I like the saying about how “love is an action verb” or more than just words. The concept which I am learning to embody, thanks to Prince is that “love is words and actions”; hence, all forms. In one day, I’ve experienced … it’s about trusting, ~ LEARN MORE ~
