For those of you who wondered about my avatar--nope, not my dachshund, but a wonderful image snapdragen found for me. Here are pictures of my beloved Schatzi, our dachshund who lived to be 19. She was my friend since I was 7 years old. If my mom has pictures of her as a younger doggie, I'll post those, too. You also get to see Orphan Annie, our English Setter, a true maniac. She came to us when Schatzi was 9 years old, and probably added 5 years to her life.
