[glcnv]

This is my favorite video here on youtube. I have 2 and I know that they would walk 1000 miles for me no matter what and I for them. They are better company than some people for sure. I will miss them dearly when they are gone that is for sure.  This video has made up my mind for me and that is when mine are across the rainbow bridge I will be getting a senior doxie cause I can't live without one in my home that is for sure.....thanks for sharing this.....

[endracismguy]

get another one

[MagAdoodle123]

aw! i hvnt even watchd 30 sec of it but i red the description n now i am crying i can barely type! this video is so sweet

[sastervold3]

luv the video when my dachshund passes on i think i will make a video 2:55 was my favorite part

[AdrienneAce]

I like 2:55, also....the love is obvious. And what doxie doesn't enjoy being wrapped in a warm towel in the laundry basket 1:19? Fonzie was a great friend for you and you are wonderful for giving him that special place to live out his years. Thank you.

[madballz28]

I love the 2:55 awesome dogs absolutely. Very loyal

[kavaldzhia]

What did Shakespeare say ? "... First, kill all of the lawyers !"

[phyofio]

woooooooooouw!

es igual al que era mi bebe!

:"( i miss my baby dog :'(

[aordwaya]

Dachshunds rescue homes are my heros! He was a handsome boy. He looked like he was very well loved!

[duirace]

makes me think of my own two doxies! i think i would miss them when they're gone also and make a video of them too.

[sanantonio7]

he obviously lived out his days one happy dog. i hope we're all so lucky.

[tomgl1999]

Made me cry!!! And I'm a guy!! VERY nice dog.

[DaisyJoy]

Bless you for taking in Fonzie, he definitely was a happy and loved companion in his senior years!! We've always gotten dachsund puppies but have decided our next one will be a rescue, there are so many who need good homes. And I loved the song!! Run free at the Rainbow Bridge, Fonzie.

[SetApartBeauty]

Aww beautiful tribute!! I had to put my 10 year old Doxie Snuggles to sleep 2 weeks ago unexpectedly :( My heart still hurts and it's so weird without her around.

[teamnoice]

he is lovely you must miss him so much we also have a dachshund called fonzie and he is great too x

[sixtoramon]

quelle belle vie de chien super bravo

[danbo31785]

LOVELY VIDEO

[Deb1378]

Love the video! Who sings the music?

[Raving]

Fonzie seems like he was a very loving pup. My own doxie, Shorty loves to snuggle with me. He either sits on my lap or at my feet when I am at the computer. He sleeps on our bed at night. I have had dogs my whole life. As an Army MP I was a K9 Handler, but I have never has as loving or loved a dog like I do Shorty. When I lose him, I do not know what I will do.

[lowpups]

my pups is named shorty also..we got him from a rescue group and he is quite the character.check him out on here shorty with the string..by the way fonzieclub how did you make this tribute.??

[lowpups]

people should knoe these are the most precious things in the world..i can imagine ever losing my shorty..god bless you and your puppy may he be in doggie heven

[nostalgiafreak94]

Nice video.

Was he a standard- or miniature-size dachshund?

[springhousedesigns]

Love the music and the dogs. My willy is my 5th doxie. Love em all. Great tribute to the breed. how loyal they are!

[sharontrout]

To anyone whos ever had a dachshund this tribute is an affectionate way to honor Fonzies memory,........we are presently 'owned' by our HoneyBun, who just started her third year with us........she keeps our spirits up and a smile on our face most of the time,except when she wants to chew up toilet tissue!!!! lol.........ST from oHIo

[trystal1975]

A beautiful tribute. Thank you for caring for a rescue dog

[Lupineproductions]

Enjoyed your tribute to your pup! All dogs are always pups to me. I've posted our little tribute to our late 15 year old pup, Griff. Hope you enjoy it as well. They're all one of a kind.

[SailorMoonie4e]

We are members of Almost Home dachshund rescue group and it is never easy to have to put one down. They are many of us rescuers who care. Thank you for caring for Fonzie.

[ViennaMT]

Sailor, God bless you and Fonzie's "people" for giving these dogs a home, and all others like you. We have 13 Dachsies, ages 15 to one year; they're animal-assisted therapy dogs. Two of them, Lilith and Adia, were neglected as puppies; we bought them to save their lives. They weren't loved or wanted. Yet their love for us is so pure and devoted! Thank you for what you do.

Vienna

[rudydapup12]

The brown doxie in some of the pictures looked exactly like the face of my old doxie, Rudy. He died summer 07 :'( agh, thanks for the video! he was 19 yrs old :D

[seebeemcflurry]

Fonzie looked lovely!!

This is a really great tribute you've made for him :)

I make tributes for peoples pets after my own two died. Search eBay for 'Treasured Memories' for more info...

[secondhandsmokexx]

soooo cute !!!!! did it pass away =(

[framingham1111]

Bless your heart. I rescued a little Daschie girl named Copper two years ago after her first six years were spent being abused. The

Fonz was blessed to have humans like you in his last years. Thank you also for posting info on rescue! So important. god bless you, Fonzie and all the beasties!

[ncuffmrchippy]

Thanks for doing this for Fonzie. What a beautiful tribute. Our dachshund passed away just over one week ago. He was with us for almost 12 years...Your video helped us very much. Brought us some smiles amongst the tears. Thank you.

[uniden289]

i got my dachshund from the dog pound when he was 2 months old.

and since then, i have loved him more than my mother! [don't tell her lol]

beautiful tribute for your dog fonzie

[Birdlepop]

Arrr bless. What a lovely tribute.I'm gonna get our camera and take as pany pics of our mother and daughter pair as I can x x x

[bosuon]

oooOOoooo,our dog's name was fonzie too...

[SCjmb914]

What a great video! Nicely done, and bless you for taking care of this little soul.

[bltdriver2]

What a wonderful tribute!

[laura28202]

I am now going to be a foster parent!

[kat11711]

I adopted my Frank from DRNA last year. I loved your video!

[TheHurricaneTiger]

I run a rescue...

Bless you and your lil hoond babies

rainbowbridges and wuvz

[noemiluvsluis]

Doxies are the best breed of dog. So loving, naughty, silly, etc...anyone who's owned one knows what I mean. I miss my Arnie (lost him to cancer 3 yrs ago). He was the best dog I have ever owned, never be another one like him.

[korgothgirl]

Cute dogs!

[875090211]

a wonderful tribute to a wonderful dog - bless you for taking him in and giving him everything he needed; he, in turn, gave so much to you. Dachshunds are a rare, courageous, life-filled-to-the-brim breed; there's truly no ohter dog like them. I miss my boys, Max and Seymour so much!!!

and yes, everyone - rescue doxies! We all know what great dogs they are, and they need us.

[HNLcompany]

my dachshund died today =(

and i needed something to cheer me up and this video did so

thank you so much

[darlingmaureen]

I have two dachshunds, and I don't know what I'd ever do without them. They truly are the best friends a girl could have.

[daisymojowilly]

so sorry about your doxie, we lost our doxie last year and we still miss him. They are the best little pals anyone could have. My friend said that when we die someday, the first one to greet us will be our dog.

[marielsteven]

It feels good to know there are people like you who help dogs like fonzie, it looks like he had a full and happy life with you. I hope someday I can help dogs the way you did.

[Foxsrose]

I am so sorry, I just lost my companion of 16 years two weeks ago. Its been hard, but Emit my rescue Doxie is trying to help me along. He tells me it gets easier over time. Emit's only five, so I hope to have lots of years with him. Dose it ever get easier?

[djdeadman666]

this made me cry.

i dont know what i'd do if i lost my doxie zio,

[dappledackel]

Anyone who ever lost a Doxie, knows the pain when you loose this special "mans best friend." Nice video!

[urkakay]

very true. lost mine two months ago. :( great video tribute to fonzie!

[Foxsrose]

I liked the song, cause all of us know that Doixes are the men of the house. Fonzie looked like he spent his last years happy, and that's all that matters, or so Emit is telling me over here. I lost my companion two weeks ago, but Emits been a comfort but I think he misses his friend.

[Tonivill]

It's true "Weenies Rule". It is obvious you had a wonderful friend in Fonzie.

[devin8888]

loved it!!!!

[eddietudey]

Bless Fonzie and YOU!

[bowlsie74]

Great video to what looks to have been an awesome doxie. I just lost mine on 10/31/07 and it is one of the worst things that I have ever encountered. I bet they are all playing together at the Ridge.

[Spikeryder3213]

aww im so sorry for your loss! (cries)

[gretiesmom]

Fabulous tribute. Your Fonzie was a star! Thank you for sharing this with me.  I love it!

[ThinkOneMore]

We have a pet garden in our back yard and I have shed tears for the cats, dogs, birds, sqirels and even lizards and butterflies that lay together. My husband and I are trying to find a way to soften the blow when our doxi and choxie die. We are hoping for 20 years at least. A big hug to you from us doxi lovers.

[kyannos]

I lost my Dachshund a couple of years ago, looked just like Fonzie, never will stop missing him

[rentragmaub]

Well done! I felt like I was looking at a photo album from my house. We dachshund lovers must all be alike.

[pizzafan555]

I like fonzie i feel your pain my dachshund chili passed away april 14 2007 that was one of the saddest days of my life and her birthday is coming up its on october 31.

[jama3663]

So Sweet, Thanks for sharing the years you spent with a great dog like Fonzie

[MBK58]

Thank you for sharing a bit of Fonzie's life with us. He was lucky to have such a loving family in his final years, and I'm sure you felt just as lucky to have him! The video brought tears to my eyes. When the day comes that I must say goodbye to my own little doxie, I hope I am able to create such a wonderful tribute as you have done for Fonzie. God bless.

[lamarramirez]

What a great way to remember your beloved FONZIE. We have 3 Doxie's and we also share your sadness remembering our first Buddy who we burried on Christmas day five tears ago. I must admit a shed a tear for your loss as well as ours.

[wobowee]

im sorry about ur dog i just got a dauchshund back in december 2 years ago and it looks just like urs but mine is alot fatter =p great vid

[RhoLynLuc]

So sorry for your loss. My 15 year old dachshund Snitzel passed 2 years ago. I swore I would never get another. Of course, I couldnt do without so I now have two minis. A red female (Lucy) and a black & tan male (Desi). Desi looks so much like Fonzie. Even sticks his tongue out. Your video made me laugh & cry. Thank you. By the way, Lucy and Desi came into our life on Saturday, January 13, 2007. Bless you and your family.

[Rose2933]

I watch my brother's doxie when he is away on business. Gilligan sent this video to him the night before his last return trip from S. America to let Steven know he'd be waiting when he came thru the gate. I know how hard it is to lose a dog. People bring both joy and pain into your life, but an animal brings only love. When they leave us a big empty hole appears in our hearts that never seems to go away. Your video reminded me of the 5 empty holes in my heart and I joined with you in your loss.

[trowska]

This Video sure brought back treasured memories of my beloved dog, "Buddy"

Thank you for sharing yours with all of us, that have lost our beloved pets.

[XxXjoannXxX]

I saw this video awhile back on another account and looked back at my dachshund, feeling nothing but sadness for you. And now, here I am, posting a memorial video for her on here because she passed on in December of 2006. Now, I understand exactly how you feel.

I hope the healing finishes soon.

With love,

Jo Ann

[Kiwi663]

i feel so bad for you. i used to have 2 mice and they died. i never even got a picture of them.:C

[x0xaudpaud22]

I grew up with dachshunds just like those two in the video. Ginger (girl) was just like your brown one and Fred was just like Fonzie, he too slept with his tounge out. But sadly, they died about 5 years ago. We now have a girl dachshund who lloks like Fred named Betty, and our first ever long haired dachshund Barney, who has brown hair.

[all2bnfun]

Thank you for your video-a great tribute to a great dachshund

[readingschoolnursela]

Your video tribute to Fonzie was awesome!.. God Bless you all. We have a mini silver dappled doxie that is pure joy. Your video, made me smile, laugh and cry, I LOVED it! I know that Fonzie is wacting over you all.

Doxies are THE BEST!

Peace & Blessings

[gebymccray]

Thank you

[jcfmc]

Thank you for your video, makes me fell ok for spoiling my dog all the time!!The have such a short time with us and we must enjoy every minute.

[ozarkcrafter]

What a precious, precious boy!

[srpesq]

Oh I am destroyed after seeing this..crying like a fool. I send a video response with my tribute to my rescue mutt who we put down in april 06. I can tell u loved this precious dog every bit as much as he loved you. I can tell this dear soul was greatful for you..and your love..Thank god for rescuers like you..

[elpabarose]

OMGosh I'm starting to cry,I'm really sorry you lost this very handsome (it is a boy right!?)doxie

[duirace]

That was soooo cool! Makes me look at my own two mini dachshunds. They are 2yo and 1.6yo. I hope they live a long time before they pass and then I think I'll post a video of them too. Many bones to you Fonzie!

[edjenkids]

That was so special...so glad that Fonzie had you for his forever home!

[pkin75]

Love it... what a handsome lad...

[spencersd]

Its just awesome that you put this video together. Tears in my eyes. I imagine what it will be like when my Bailey passes. Looks like Fonzie was quite a pooch and a character. Ohh Doxies are wonderful!... as are all dogs. The ONLY time my mother ever witnessed my grandfather crying, was when their Dachshund Noodles passed away years ago.

[charrismo]

I have a dachshund,but irrespective of that...i think that this is one of the sweetest videos on youtube.

thank you for sharing Fonzie with us.

[MommaKK]

Looks like you had the greatest yrs of your life in the last 2 Fonzie. You were adorable!

[Pennylane1952]

That was a good little movie! You have a nice family and God bless you! peace out!

[catftbat]

What a lovely little guy. he looks like an absolute sweetheart. from a sausage dog fan and owner in NZ

[Bainesbrood]

Just wonderful. I am onto my third of these amazing creatures. Until you have lived with them you can't imagine how incredible they are. Thanks for that

[Jolt459]

Anybody that has a dachshund loves them, but not like a regular love. Dachshunds rock.

[miihkali007]

He must have been so much loved and well taken care of. Lovely video.

[nanitaheart]

That was a great video, looks like Fonzie was a great dog. I have a 9 month old Dachshund, and I'm in love with this dog. Before, I never would have though about having this breed, I thought they looked weird, but my husband got me my Dachshie, and I love her, and specially because of that! because she is different, with her long body and cute short legs tee hee hee, she is a sweet dog, I want to have a baby, and from now I know it will be my kid's best friend :)

[lbdam021]

it truely is wonderful like all other doxies

[Doreen2464]

As many others have said, what a wonderful tribute to Fonzie. Also bless you for giving info on doxie rescue. I have 5 doxies and 3 of them are rescues.

[dachshundmusician]

[buddythedoxie]

Digger my dae was 17 and my gram his wife was 16 my mon went a 5 way to young but I belive that all dogs(Animals) go to heaven. My pal's wife is over the rainbow and will show all that cross were to go,, Buddy

[ReverendSyn]

Generally 12 years is he average, but ours held on to about 16-17. Keeping the diet fairly lean helps. (With a once a week treat of bacon grease on a slice ofbread)

[scannernut]

My heart goes out to you and your family, for you loss! My heart cryed out when I watched this it is so loving. I understand your pain,you now have. I to have lost my little girl Wilamina. May the good loard watch over him and hold him so close to his heart. May he also comfort you and your family.

[PudgyBean2]

The price of food? $25.00 // The price of a flea collar? $4.98 // The price of Fonzies love? PRICELESS!

Thank you for sharing your dear Fonzie.

[sandicbm]

What a wonderful family you are to give Fonzie a home. Both of you were blessed...love is clear to see

[austindoxie1972]

Thank you for taking such good care of Fonzie! He was blessed to have you.

[catricola]

Fantastic video. We lost our dachshund a few months ago.

[lulabel177]

The picture at 34/35 secs is so cute, I love how my two dachsies used to curl up together! Sweet dreams Fonzie x x

[5Blackstar]

[doxenzilla]

this made me wana hug me wiener dog sooooooooooooooooo hard!!!!!!!!!

[NYG5]

how old was the fonz? mine was 17 when he kicked in in 2005

[fonzieclub]

We're not quite sure how old he was. We were told he was around ten when we got him, but who knows - he never told us!

[thebeegis]

my doxie rolo is a senior rescue too -- your fonzie looks like he was very well loved! this video made me want to snuggle up with my rolo :)

[crankychick]

Sweet! Thank you for making Fonzie's life wonderful for the last years of his life. Takes special people to rescue an older dog.

[Flegan777]

He must have been a real joy in your life. The sweet dog

[Nordylush]

What a doll Fonzie was!

[mydogcharlie]

i love the video

[miamaz]

God Bless Fonzie and God Bless you! Maybe he'll meet my Hannah (Ditto)in Heaven and be friends. Thanks for all you've done. We have a Dachsie Ginger that was rescued too.

[lgj1942]

Rescues are the way to go, we have had 3 and they are wonderful experiences, wouldn't do it any other way.

Fonzie was beautiful, bless his heart.

[kgschneider]

Fonzie was one lucky dog. Great video.

[leo1321]

Very cute. Good for you for taking in rescues. Dog, cat, or bird (my wife and I have eight parrots) no animal is disposable. Fonzie looks like he was a happy little guy and had a good life with you.

[MichiganHitman]

Dachshunds RULE!!  Great video. I have a long hair dachshund, about 14 months old now and she brings so much joy to our home.

God bless you!

[sargend]

There is something so special about a Daxy. I've had them all my life since I was a kid and currently have two mini-reds. They are my best freinds and are the most loyal, loving and intelligent dogs you could ever want to have. They love to cudddle under the covers on a winters morning ( well, ANY morning really!). They are a blessing and a gift in my life!

[vondoug]

dachshunds take up such a big part of your lives - for ones so small. Once you've been owned by a dachshund there just isn't any other kind of dog to have.

[Lindsay8585]

Fonzie is beautiful. Dachshund's are the best gift in the world.

[MagicMusician2594]

Fonzie looks like he had a good home. He'll always stay warm in your hearts. I just wanted to know if you made this on as a slideshow because I tried to upload a slideshow. Send me a message please.

[bob200rps]

BestBestBestBestBestBestBestBe­stBest! I'm from Brazil and here I've a dachshund that has 10 years and 6 months... Thanks!

[Minimenzel211]

How lucky Fonzie was to spend his last years with a loving family like yours - I'm sure they were the best years of his life - We have a DRNA rescue doxie Otto who we adopted in 2005 and we are waiting for our DRNA rescue doxie Zoey who is in transport on the way to us this weekend - I can't imagine life without them - Thanks for being such great parents to Fonzie and I am very sorry for your loss! Beth

[AdrienneAce]

Congratulations for being doxie rescue parents, and for the superb and moving video tribute to your dear Fonzie. Outstanding. I have 3 dachshunds, two of them senior rescues. Doxies and their parents are the best!  Thank you.

[srtakathi]

My little Lulu passed in October...how your video touches my heart! Like many have written in response to it, I laughed and cried through the whole thing! Your choice of song is perfect. Bless you for sharing your memories of Fonzie with us.

[dror91]

How wonderful is that.

You really loved him.

Great and cute dog.

[MADDIE2479]

rescued doxies are the best!!!!

Thank you for sharing Fonzie!!

Maddie a rescued 2 yr old male doxie

[bittyup]

What a sweet dox!A perfect song to go along with the tribute.Keep rescueing.I just adopted my doxie/sharpei 6 months ago.Looks like a dox with wrinkles on his legs.He was in terrible shape.The vet was in joyful tears the other day with the fantastic progress he is making(got his hair back).Dachshund lovers don't buy rescue.Bless all the doxies that have gone to heaven.We miss you.

[primelendingdfw]

I just lost my 6month dachshund puppy just few a days ago. My little Olive was attacked by a german Shepherd at the park and she died in my arms on the way to the vet. Fonzie tribute has opened the door to getting a rescue dachshund when we are ready thanks

[72surgeons]

I just can't stop crying when I watch your beautiful tribute to Fonzie. My previous dachshund called Ubi was rescued from street at 2 yrs old, then he spent an unforgettable 15 years with my family. It's been a long time that he passed away and now, I have daxie again, her name is Mimi and she is 6 months old. I wish such a loving home like yours for every dachshund (and dog) in the world! Thank you for this touching video memorial.

[kbdoe]

I have 3 of my own (12, 7 and 4), love them to death and dread the day I have to say goodbye...thanks for the great video!

[wee33]

this was so sweet. my dachshund just passed today. i miss him dearly.

[gemellodipriapo]

A lovely tribute and a very clever choice in music!

[meincolor8]

That's wonderful that you loved Fonzie so much! I had a black & tan named Ric that passed about 3 yrs. ago, he was 16 & loved by all. Just about 4 days after New Years Day this Jan. I lost My Regis (Babypuppy:) He was only 9. He had a heart attack out of nowhere and was literally gone in a second. I't reminded how important it is to never take even one moment for granted with loved ones! Hopefully Fonzie & my babies Ric and Regis are up there having fun playing together. Best wishes to you!

[47jardin]

I volunteer at an animal shelter and I have 2 dachshund "grand dogs". I am crying my eyes out over your video.I will remember Fonzie and your lovely tribute for a long time.

[doxiemommy3]

WOW what a great tribute!!  I just adopted a doxie from DRNA....he makes my doxie family now 6, and it is truly a blessing having Speed Racer in our home.

[RheaCourtney]

What a beautiful dog he was; you can see how much you all loved him.

[smarianne]

How sweet :-)what a great video.

[Psycho9263]

People who rescue Dachshunds are special people.I'm really heartbroken after watching this video.Several years ago mine passed away at 18 years old(humam years) I now have a 5 year old mini his name is Peppy. Fonzie will be missed.Thanks for the video :(

[KarenHeningSpeedone]

Heaven is where all the dogs who ever loved you are waiting for you.

[graci67]

what a great tribute to a wonderful friend and companion!

[flyingmissle]

Thank you for sharing Fonzie. Our sweet,black doxie,Missle went to heaven,Jan.23. They will be friends. God Bless.

[jctmom]

Wow! What a great tribute to Fonzie! Bless your hearts for taking him in, and for those that rescued him.  Senior dachsies are very special, as they all are. Have been a dachsie owner for 45 years, and am totally smitten with their personality and love. No other creature like them. Bless you for giving Fonzie those wonderful years. May you treasure your memories of him.

[java4me100]

We will miss you so much, Fonzie!

[java4me100]

We love you, Fonzie!

[HippieChickLOVE]

You all have big hearts, I'm sorry they are broken right now. :(

Looks like you have wonderful memories.

[debirds]

Great tribute, guys. Love the music - perfect! I laughed and cried while watching. Rest peacefully, Fonzie... Love, your DRNA foster mom.

[fonzieclub]

Fonzie passed away at noon on Saturday, January 13. He was in Rick's arms, which is where he wanted to be. As many of you know, he was a senior rescue that had been thrown away and he was persistent about being with us (a velcro doggie). He taught us a great deal about our own capacity for patience, unconditional love and humor.
