Such a hopeful young life, cut short by parvo.  Please vaccinate your pets.  RIP sweet Brad.  We had hoped your DRoH life would be longer and happier.

Today marks the end of an era. My best buddy, Oscar Fritz crossed the rainbow bridge. He lived a great life of 16 years and I'm trying to remember the happy times with him although I'm so very heartbroken to let him go. Oscar was there for me through so much; college, breakups, pregnancy, apt living..
He imprinted on my niece and was her greatest protector. Oscar was such a big part of our lives and the reason for meeting so many wonderful people. If not for him, we never would have become involved with Dachshund Rescue of Houston. We never would have had rescue pups and fosters nor cultivated so many wonderful friendships through the years. LBD. The OG dachshund boy. Forever in our hearts

Our sweetest, most precious, beloved Ozzie Fitzgerald Tracy crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Thursday afternoon, April 18.  I know he is having fun swimming and exploring and checking out new adventures.  Our hearts are crushed as we grieve his loss and will never mend.  Ozzie will forever be our little red dapple doxie boy. 

Ozzie loved meeting everyone wherever we went and everyone loved him in return.  He was so affectionate and never met a stranger. 

Ozzie was the biggest cuddler with chunky puppy paws and the most adorable big ears. 
Although, Trae, Allison and I are so heartbroken, our hearts are filled with gratitude for all the love and joy he brought to our family, and we are forever thankful to be blessed with the 16 amazing years we had together. 

Ozzie is loved beyond measure and missed so very deeply.  The house just isn’t the same without him.  As difficult as it is, we know it’s not goodbye forever…it’s until we see you again our sweetest boy. 

Ozzie was adopted from Dachshund Rescue of Houston on Valentine’s Day of 2009 and it has been the sweetest love story ever since.

To know Ozzie truly was to love him. 

We’ll love you forever…to the moon and back…and we’ll miss you terribly until we all meet again our little chunk.  ❤️❤️❤️
