Jay, do not know if we are related. I lost my smooth dachshund, Penny, after 15 years on 12/7. Although she did not get an official USPS warning, she would have loved it! My mother nicknamed her the “Tonya Harding of Dachshunds”. She was a very tough little girl.

I am sorry for your loss. I can empathize all too well.

…and of course, I am so sorry for your loss. What a great life your dog must have had.

We got the SAME POSTAL WARNING card dropped in front of our house once about our miniature dachshund (who can’t even get outside when the carrier is here, it was based on his barking inside the house!)

As a totally besotted dog lover the news of any humans losing their dog companion is always sad. Vale Latte.
And what a statement about how a reputation is formalised by ‘the system’ – one calf chomp and you double in impact and get labelled forever. If only positive actions could have such sustained impact on the system.

Hey Jay – sorry to hear about your loss. After 14 years of companionship, it takes time to readjust.

Love the postal service memo! Looks like you’re raising some violent animals .
