WEENIE DOG WEDNESDAY: DAPPLES AND PIEBALDS

“There’s nothing cuter than a speckled pup!” Today’s beautiful doxies are known as piebalds and dapples:

“Dapples have irregularly shaped, blended spots of diluted color. Piebalds display solid, defined white patches and almost always have a white tip on their tail.

“Eye Color: Dapple dachshunds can have blue, hazel, or partially blue eyes. True piebald dachshunds always have dark brown.”—Reddit

So, if you have a pie or a dapple, lucky you! These doxies are gorgeous, and no two are exactly alike. The spotted, freckle-like small spots some of them have are called ticking. 

Happy WEENSday!

PLUVIOPHILES, UNITE!

 

Which coffee level is you each morning?

Happy Tuesday! It’s raining here and is supposed to ALL DAY and all night. As a pluviophile, I love it. As far back as I can remember, I’ve always loved to watch it rain. Or sleet. Even thunderstorms!

Have a great Tuesday. Excuse me while I get a cup of coffee so I can sit by the window and watch the rain ♥️

THE PINK CADILLAC

 

Friends and Followers,

As you know, my only sibling Steve passed away in March. That’s why we have his chiweenie Abby. I shared this story on all my other social media accounts, and I’d like to share it with all of you as well. Although not about doxies, it IS about special moments we all come across in life:

This ceramic 1956 Cadillac model car  was my brother Steve’s, and he had kept it on a table in his home for years. When we packed up and left NC in March to return to Georgia after the funeral, I later learned that Holly (my daughter) had put it in her van for me. 

The windshield and seats are one piece which lifts out, and inside were some things he apparently wanted to keep—one of which was a letter I had written to him many years ago (it is dated 07/09/2001), and he had kept only this one.
