We adopted our first dachshund (Beatrice) from DRNA in 2003 and worked with Jane B in 2005 to adopt a senior dachshund named Fonzie. We're sending you this message to let you know that our dear sweet dog Fonzie passed away at noon on Saturday. He was in Rick's arms, which is where he wanted to be. As many of you know, he was a senior rescue that had been thrown away and he was persistent about being with us (a velcro doggie). He taught us a great deal about our own capacity for patience, unconditional love and humor.

We thought it would help the healing process to make a little film in his honor. You can view it at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=237O-V-v7Y4
