SATURDAY, THE JEWEL OF THE WEEKEND

Dachshunds have two modes: “I must sit directly on your neck” or 'Don't you dare touch me while I'm sleeping!' There is simply no in-between 😂.

What is your doxie's favorite (or most ridiculous) place to sit on you? Let us know in the comments!

Happy Saturday, FURiends! ♥️

WELCOME, OCTOBER!

Wow, it’s October!?!

We’ll soon be inundated with pumpkin spice everything, Halloween decor and costumes, and “fall fever.” I don’t mind at all . . . it’s just that time of year. Embrace it and enjoy it! 🎃🍁🍂🧡

"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!
