WEENIE DOG WEENSDAY: LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE

🟣▪️🟣▪️🟣▪️🟣▪️🟣▪️🟣▪️🟣

WEENIE DOG WEENSDAY

🔴▪️🔴▪️🔴▪️🔴▪️🔴▪️🔴▪️🔴

“Let sleeping dogs lie,” or “dog tired” are sayings in our culture that result from observing our dogs for centuries. We have seen how much and how well they can sleep: at the drop of a hat and whenever/wherever the opportunity arises!

Today we’re featuring—you guessed it—sleeping doxies! And we all know how sweet, cuddly, and warm they are when they sleep next to us ♥️. Some of their unbelievable sleeping positions are amazing as well.

Happy Weensday, FURiends!

A BIRTHDAY

Saturday was July 4th, but also my husband’s birthday! We celebrated with our daughter Holly’s family, so here are a few pictures. She made the ten layer cake, by the way!

Happy Monday!

"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!
