Goodbye, Sweetheart


It is never easy to say goodbye to a friend.  My little miniature dachschund, Sweetheart, had been at my side for over fourteen years.  Technically she was my son's dog, but she had decided long ago that I was her human and anyone who's had a doxie knows there is no changing their minds.  Ever.  They are very stubborn little critters and unfailingly loyal.  




Someone suggested I make a piece of jewelry in her memory and it was incredibly theraputic.  I spent a day looking for a photo, which led to looking back through fourteen years worth of happy memories.  I found myself smiling more than crying.  

I decided to use a color palette based on Sweetie colors (or Boo as I called her), with black and brown and white cord and beads.  I made micro macrame bracelet and I think it's really beautiful.  


A long time ago I'd picked up some doxie charms.  It adds the perfect little touch:


Goodbye, Boo.  You will be forever in my heart.

  9. Oh my, she was darling! Your heart must’ve broken to lose her. I’m about to face this with my 19 year old poodle, and have been there before. Hope you will soon have another joyful little companion. Beautiful bracelet! Thank you for your work!
