Meet a Schnoxie. For those of you who are not up to date with your designer dogs, a Schnoxie is a Mini Schnauzer/ Dachshund mix. She has the body of a Dachshund and the coat of a Schnauzer, She is 5 months old and one big bundle of energy. Imagine Tramp from Lady and the Tramp only on a smaller scale, and you have Sara. I have only had her for a day and a half and already it feels like I have had her forever.
December Started out horribly. The First week my dog Pixie went from 90 mph energy to nothing. She dropped almost all of her weight and would not eat. We found out that she contracted a massive infection that attacked her kidneys, causing her diabetes to flare up and her thyroid to cease to exist. Had it not been for my boyfriend Ben waiting on her hand a foot for two das, I really don't think she would have lasted as long as she did. She passed December the 8th. Letting her go was one of the hardest things I have ever experienced, and within two hours, my grandmas Pyrenees, Bo passed. They were almost the same age, and part of me believes they planned it this way.

I had to work the next day and when I got home I couldn't get out of my car. I didn't want to be home. I didn't want to walk in and not see her standing at the top o the stairs, little tail wagging, waiting to go outside. Anyone who has lost a pet knows the emptiness I felt. The weeks past and I had my first Christmas in ten years without a dog to help me unwrap my presents, to buy toys and treats to fill a stocking for. So I decided I needed a dog. I decided that my family needed that unconditional love back in our house.
I found Sara.
