Hello, Shnookie.

[DJB74 in reply to Shnookie]

First of all thank you for replying and your compassion. I do see a therapist and have been on meds for nearly 3 years. The tattoo on my right arm is indeed a reaper, and although hard to see, there is a dachssund that the reaper is petting. Also in the tombstone are the words "May death find you alive". The words are my current mantra,,. I have lived most of my life dead on the inside, waiting and wishing for death. Just looking out the window waiting so to speak, but now Im not waiting, Im ready but when he comes hell have to find me in the world living. Also there are a few green leaves on the otherwise dead vine showing a bit of life is blooming from my death. The dachsund represents my special life force pet that no matter how dead I feel it reaches me. I had this one and the other one put on me that others may ask questions and realize theyre not alone. This disease reaches deep into people we know in our everyday lives. The newest one represents the two sides that constantly conflict internally, Jekyll and Hyde

You are so lucky. Best dogs ever. I lost mine. He is my spirit animal

[DJB74 in reply to Dolphin14]

My Brixen Ivy is mine. I have a pug and two boxers too but there is something super special between us two

[Dolphin14 in reply to DJB74]

I always wanted a pug too

Funny, William used to attack boxers at the park. He never liked them don't know why

You have a nice crew there. Enjoy that unconditional love

happy that U have your special dachshund My aunt and uncle in Miami had a dachshund named Special when my mother flew to Miami to attend her brother's funeral service after she returned to my aunt's house Special wrapped his body around my mom's legs. My mother told me that it felt so comforting and as though she was in touch with her brother
