I got bad news today. My brother Billy’s 18-yr old dachshund Amos passed away yesterday. Started thinking of all the cool pics I have of Amos and decided to share them as my tribute to one dam good dog. First up, Amos and his Dad.
Amos fishing in his snazzy harness, custom-made by Uncle Russ. He could back right out of any collar.

Famous Amos, intrepid co-pilot.
Amos had many names: Fearless, Famous, Brainless, Shameless and finally, Toofless.
The Rainbow Bridge inspired by a Norse legend By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill, Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still. Where the friends of man and woman do run, When their time on earth is over and done. For here, between this world and the next, Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest. On this golden land, they wait and they play, Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day. No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness, For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness. Their limbs are restored, their health renewed, Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued. They romp through the grass, without even a care, Until one day they start, and sniff at the air. All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back, Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack. For just at that instant, their eyes have met; Together again, both person and pet. So they run to each other, these friends from long past, The time of their parting is over at last. The sadness they felt while they were apart, Has turned into joy once more in each heart. They embrace with a love that will last forever, And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together. |

May Amos be waiting on the other side of the rainbow bridge for Billy.
