Schnapps's Story
Schnapps, the independent Dachshund, not only taught over 70 foster dogs to accept love but also gently reminded his family when it was time for supper. His special moments were spent curled up on the couch after supper, a quiet time of cherished togetherness. Now, he's happily running in green grass, forever searching for bunnies, enjoying all his sisters and brothers at the Rainbow Bridge.

Lyrics
Intro - acoustic guitar, banjo
Verse 1
A little shadow, long and low,
A spirit free, you let us know.
You taught each foster, shy and meek,
The gentle love that they should seek.
Your tiny paws, a guiding light,
Reminded us of mealtime's plight.
Our independent, wise old friend,
A love like yours would never end.
Chorus
Oh, Schnapps, dear Schnapps, my heart's true beat,
Nineteen years, so bittersweet.
A tiny king, forever bright,
You filled our world with pure delight.
Verse 2
When day was done and shadows deep,
Our quiet time, secrets to keep.
After supper, side-by-side,
Upon the couch, our spirits tied.
A peaceful presence, warm and small,
You answered every loving call.
Just being near, a simple grace,
A cherished spot, your special place.
Chorus
Oh, Schnapps, dear Schnapps, my heart's true beat,
Nineteen years, so bittersweet.
A tiny king, forever bright,
You filled our world with pure delight.
Bridge
I whispered softly, "Run and play,"
"With sisters, brothers, every day."
"Across the Bridge, a joyful sound,"
"And wait for me on hallowed ground."
Banjo Solo
Final Chorus
Oh, Schnapps, dear Schnapps, my heart's true beat,
Nineteen years, so bittersweet.
A tiny king, forever bright,
You filled our world with pure delight.
Outro
Now in the greenest grass you roam,
Searching for bunnies, far from home.
A happy chase, a joyful sprint,
My little Schnapps, a timeless print.
Outro - guitar fade
