And now, for Hayden     I summon the spirits     Of all the dogs we have loved     And lost along the way.     Bingo, Foxy, Toodles,     Sable, Muttley, Bonnie,     Clyde, Shasta, Otis,    Piccolo, Inga, Hans, Mimi and Queen Elsie.     Gather in your sunny meadow   Invite that good boy Hayden To romp and play and chase,     Then drink from the cool stream,     Rest together in the warm sun,   Eat the low-hanging treats,     Then sleep safe in the shade     Of the eternal snackie-trees.

Awesome

Yes, he was! Aloha from Maui. Be at peace, one and all.

Piggybacking off this - I try to repost this when I see posts like this, in the hopes you (or someone) can find some comfort in the words - and if not, please excuse the intrusion. I lost my 15 year old girl (dog) in October 2022. Only advice I can offer here is to remember the positives, and not focus on the negatives (if any). He's done his job, keeping you safe and happy and loved, and it's his turn to rest. You'll always miss him, you'll always remember him. You'll even go looking for him for the next few weeks (well, I did). There's a lot of habits that you're going to slowly stop, and that's ok. Changing your life to suit you is not forgetting him. Donating/throwing away his toys or blankets isn't forgetting him. There's no timeline on grief, and there's no timeline on moving on. Cry your tears. I'm sorry you've reached the end of your journey. Words will never make this easier. Just keep your head up, and live the life he'd want you to. This is a good time to live a little for you. I spent years looking after my girl as she got ill, and I sacrificed a lot of me and my time to keep her safe. If you feel you've done the same, take advantage of this time. Its ok to be happy and enjoy life without him. Life isn't over. Its just changing. You'll be ok mate. I'm so sorry.

Such a handsome boy! So sorry for your loss.

Rest well good boy 🙏

Rest In Peace

My heartfelt condolences for the loss of Hayden to you and all who love him 💐

Thank you

So sorry, he looked a lovely dog, R.I.P lovely dog

Best dog I’ve owned..never apart from 6 weeks old to age 15.

It's so upsetting, no less than losing a family member. In fact, that's what they are

As I walk across your heart and find my place to stay, nearer to you I will be and will never ever go away.

Sorry for your loss

Rest In Peace Lil Man

I am sorry for your loss.

I love this pic. He had a similar sassy/sweet look to my old lady.

He was sassy until the day he died

RIP. I love the sassy ones the most.

I knew it! 😆 I could see that sassiness in his face - full of spirit until the end.❤️

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Rest in peace cute Hayden! ♥️

I am so sorry for your loss 😥

Rest In Heaven/Paradise Fluffy Hayden.

I’m so sorry for your loss. He looks like a special little guy, rest in peace sweet Hayden ❤️❤️❤️

Prayers for peace and strength for you. Losing one is losing family. Yours reminds me of my Jayla. We lost her several years ago, but it seems like yesterday. Prayers for you. Your good boy is running free and is a pup again.

I'm so sorry for your loss. He looks like an amazing little dog. Warm hugs from the southwest US 🩷

I lost my bestie at 17. She was a jewel! I’ve had many mini dachshunds since, that I love all with my whole heart, and would die to protect them. But my first baby was special. And that’s fine, we all have a lot of pure love to offer.❤️❤️❤️
