GRANDDAWG SUNNY’S STYLE

Granddawg Sunny has personalized her blankie, lol! Has your doxie ever chewed holes in his/her blankie?

Some doxies are chewers, some are diggers, others are hunters. But ALL are barkers!

Happy Thursday, FURiends ♥️

HOWL-O-WEENIE DOG WEENSDAY

HOWL-O-WEENIE WEENSDAY!

⬛️🟧🎃⬛️🟧🖤⬛️🟧🎃⬛️🟧🖤⬛️

👻We’re kicking off the Howl-o-weenie season today with these fabulous doxies in adorable costumes. Some costumes are obviously “store bought,” but most are handmade: their pawrents’ creativity is amazing, don’t you agree?

👻Some of our doxies today look less than thrilled, as doxies are known for expressing their opinions, lol. But they’re all amazing!

👻 Happy Howl-o-weenie WEENSday!

"If you feel a kindred spirit with any animal, you will relish the day-to-day events of this endearing family as experienced through Sarge's perspective. Ms. Hinton's keen wit will have you laughing out loud and searching for a dachshund puppy to adopt!" --Lindie Nelson, animal lover--

"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!
