My heartfelt condolences for you loss. We have always had miniature Dachshunds. We are on numbers 6 and 7 now. Of the prior 5, we had to take 4 of them in to the vet at the end. I cried like a baby each time. Our current two wiener dogs (Hermione and Luna) are so special to us. They are both 10. Luna is daddy's girl She wants to be with me 24/7. She LOVES going to Lowes with me and riding around in the cart. Sometimes I think that after they are gone, we won't get another dog. But then I realize that the pain of losing such a special friend is worth the amazing and unconditional love we get from them. When we attach ourselves to 'friends' with shorter lives than us, we must understand that each day with them is a gift from God. Think about it, dog spelled backwards is God. You will never forget Emma, and a new dog will never take her place, but just like kids, all dogs have their own personality. You will find a new friend who will heal the pain in your heart. Again, my heartfelt condolences for you loss.
