THE “NOPE” MOOD

 


Is your doxie ever in this kind of mood? 

Kinda like toddlers in a disagreeable mood—anything you want them to do, they don’t want to do it. Some things, however,  we must make sure they do, anyway.  The most important commands a dog must learn to obey, I’m told, are STOP and COME. Their lives may depend on one or the other.

They don’t call those years “the terrible twos” for nothing! I suppose with doxies, that independent streak lasts their entire lives.

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love ‘em.

NEVER FORGET

 


This photo was taken when we were in NYC in May 2001 with Wake Christian Academy’s senior class (Raleigh) for our annual senior trip. There were about 65 students and four of us chaperones: my husband Clark and me, plus another couple. 

Among many other places there, we always toured the Twin Towers of the WTC. Little did we know then what would happen that September 11, only a few months later. Clark took this photo while we were on the ferry trip around Manhattan in NYC. 

All of us who were old enough at the time remember where we were on that infamous day: we—and our two daughters —were at WCA for a normal day of school.
