A not so very ordinary girl or name . . .
Three weeks to the day after I said goodbye to my little buddy, Taylor, I had to send his lifelong companion and my sweet girl, Aubrey, back to her Creator.
Aubrey came to live with me on October 27, 1990. Everyone who knew her would agree that I could not have found a sweeter angel to share my life. She, too, will be greatly missed.
How 'bout that baby girl?
I have been a dachshund-lover all my life, but Aubrey was my first longhair. Her mother, Suki's Pretty Girl, was a show dog and the most stunningly beautiful doxie I had ever seen. My little pick of the litter was a red sable like her mother, so I named her Blount's Auburn Girl and called her Aubrey for short.
Aubrey had a strong mothering instinct, and although he was always afraid of them, Taylor fathered 9 of Aubrey's 14 puppies from three litters.

Goodbye, Aub'ey!
I love you, sweet angel . . .
And I'd go a million times around the world just to say
She had been mine for a day . . .

There has never been a dog with a more gentle, loving, personality than Aub'ey. She was so sweet. Bubby couldn't believe she out lived Taylor. He went on to explain to me that she was older and that she had been hit by a car but, still lived longer than Taylor.
Awww, Howie I'm so sorry you lost them within 3 weeks of each other. I know you are so sad & lonely without them. It takes a long time to get used to them not being there anymore. Both those babies were just precious! Go over & read my post from last Friday...Angel in the Post Office. You'll cry & love it at the same time.
xo,
Rhoda
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of sweet Aubrey. I know this must be a difficult time for you! You are in my thoughts.
