HIRTING THE JACKPOT

This doxie absolutely knew he shouldn’t eat that . . . and he’d get in trouble for doing so, BUT the urge to eat it anyway was way too strong! LOLOLOL

Has your doxie ever “gotten into” eating something that wasn’t meant for him/her? Our doxie Duke once grabbed a piece of toast off my breakfast plate—but my plate was on the kitchen counter!

The old adage of “where there’s a will, there’s a way” is very apt for doxies 😆

WEENIE DOG WEENSDAY!

•♥️•🎩•♥️•🎩•♥️•🎩•♥️•🎩•♥️•

🎩Today, our hats are off to senior doxies! Our favorite dawg is one of the longest living breeds, averaging 16 years of age. (The larger the breed, the shorter their lifespan, on average.) A doxie is considered senior at 11+ years old.

🎩 Kudos to our “frosty faced” doxies, loyal and honored family members ♥️. Happy Weensday!

"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!
