BARKING FOR A REASON

That face, lol! Total frustration 🤣

Trouble is, doxies are always “warning” us about something, and most of the time—you guessed it—

nothing. A leaf falling. A speck of dust. A treat.

This time was obviously different. Too late now! “Live and learn,” I suppose.

Happy Monday, FURiends ♥️

HAPPY SATURDAY

Yes, we’re special to our dogs: nobody in the world is as happy to see us than they are—even if it has been five minutes, five hours, or five days!

Doxies show us so much love, laughter, and fun. Agree/disagree?

"Will melt your heart! As a dachshund parent, I was totally smitten with this book. I couldn't wait to see and compare the antics of Sarge with that of my own little clown dogs. A light - hearted story full of comical situations. I loved this book. Nana58, July 13, 2015

We're each taking turns reading your Sarge story. My oldest daughter is reading it as I write - I can't help but get a kick out of watching her smile and chuckle as she flips through the pages - we all seem to have the same warmhearted response to Sarge. By the way, we LOVED the fishing story, and to think it actually happened!

Thank you for staying the course and turning your dream of writing into a wonderful reality. God has blessed you, and through you has blessed us with these wonderful stories. I personally enjoyed the thread of God's unconditional love as seen through a dachshund's eyes (woven throughout your wonderful family). In life . . . there are no ordinary moments!
