Hi dearest friends,

It has been a very beautiful day, full of sunshine and the promise of the Spring to come. Yesterday Mommy said she would let me go to Pets Mart today and pick out my own Gotcha pressies. Well we did and they might look kinda familiar to you but that will have to wait to see them. Mommy promised to take some pictures tomorrow. Yesterday evening Mommy heard some really bad news so my Gotcha Day was marked with sadness as well as joy.

The Rainbow Bridge

It is with deep regret and sorrow, that we most tell you that one our Alvin rescues has crossed over the bridge and joined Travis and all the other dachshunds we have been unable to save.

Dave

Dave was a precious dapple, that never had his chance in life. There was just to many strikes against him. Now he is with my sister, Samantha, and the little imp, Joey, having a wonderful time with all our Dachsie and DWB friends, where he will now be pain free forever. On my Feb 16th post, Mommy pleaded for help in raising funds and finding fosters but today she is BEGGING.

Please if you can, consider helping DROH do exactly what our logo says........

But even with the sadness comes joy from the success stories and that's what makes rescue worth everything all rescue organizations do.

Remember this picture of Steve, who can into DROH looking like this? Well he is fully recovered and ready for adoption. Saturday night he worked the kissing booth at Sam Houston Racetrack at the wiener dog race event. He most be a pretty good kisser because he made more money than I did at Camp Bow Wow's "Cupids and Canines "Adopt-a-Thon" Saturday afternoon. Here is a video on YOU TUBE that shows Steve and our new kissing booth.

Another success story. Remember Diesel, the little dog that was set on fire by some deranged child. He and his new brother, Seymour, also a DROH rescue are doing great in their new home, loved and pampered. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This picture speaks volumes.

Mommy has been crying since she started this post but now she is smiling, thinking about the success stories and all the others that will come. We pray for this everyday. Please remember "Until there are none....save one" . If you would like to help out by donating some of your treat money or even offering prayers, please visit DROH at http://www.dachshundrescueofhouston.org/ where there is also a link to DROH's Facebook account. There are so many rescue groups all over the world, so if not DROH, please consider donating to one of the many rescue groups that our DWB friends came from and many of our peeps volunteer with.

God Bless.....Mona's Mommy Sarah

Love, kisses and {{{huggies}}} to all.........Mona
