The Kitelinger's

We had a very hard day yesterday when we got up in the morning we found out that our Miniature Dachsund Ivy had killed our Miniature Pinscher Teddie.... This is a very hard thing for us to deal with because Richard and I have had Teddie ever since we have been together. Teddie was the best dog he was so protective of the baby even before she was born. He used to curl up on top of my belly and after she was born had to lay right on top of her. He always threw such a fit when she started to spend time on the floor and someone would come over.... let me tell you he went nuts lol!! He was our little buddy and like another child to us, I know that sounds really silly but we have lost a big part of our heart we had had him almost 5 years. My poor husband had such a bond with him he is feeling the loss immensely. I feel so bad for him and wish I could change what happened. The thing that is hardest about this is that how do you tell a three year old something like this happened. We told her Teddie was sick and went to live with Jesus but could not figure out a way to tell Elizabeth why Ivy is now gone. We put her to sleep because I will not take the chance that she attacks our other Miniature Pinscher or take the chance that she would attack Elizabeth... We miss Teddie greatly and wish we could bring him back... I am going to post a few pics of him with this blog. He was such a great dog!!!
