A DACHSHUND'S MERRY-GO-ROUND LIFE!

Doxie lovers: 

Have you ever wondered what dachshunds think about us humans?

❤️ A DACHSHUND’S MERRY-GO-ROUND LIFE was a labor of love for me, but also a bittersweet task as I completed this final book of Sarge’s tales about his zany family (which also happens to be my own family 😊). Sarge’s special doxie insights and his love for humans—in spite of their flaws—resonate with doxie lovers, because they already understand how clever dachshunds are!

❤️ The golden thread of unconditional love woven throughout Sarge’s stories encourages and uplifts readers as they smile at his comical antics. True to his breed, he is driven by his love for food, and his nose sometimes gets him into trouble.

❤️ Sarge’s colorful characters leap from the pages of his books, forever enshrined in this memoir. From his humans to the animals—Duke his doxie protégé, the six conniving cats (remember the Fuzz Brothers?), Gizmo the annoying cockatiel—all make his charming but unique family memorable.

❤️ Now a mature doxie, Sarge sees Mama, Daddy, and his three human siblings (growing so quickly) in a new light, because life is rushing by and he savors every moment. And, he entrusts his title of Grand Dawg to Duke, well trained by Sarge and ready for the task.

❤️ Notably, his beloved Papa Duke (my own late father) forever remains Sarge’s favorite human—in fact, since Papa understands Sarge so well, he bestows the title of “honorary dawg” upon Papa, a high compliment.

MONDAY DACHSHUNDS

Well, well, well . . . it's Monday again. Do you realize that one seventh of your life is spent on Mondays??

So . . . we might as well make the most of it, right? I'm thankful the Lord saw fit to wake me up this morning and continue my life. I have so much to be thankful for that it would fill volumes! I'm sure you can think of many things for which you are thankful, too. As the Thanksgiving season approaches (my favorite holiday, by the way), I plan to focus more on my blessings rather than those big and little annoyances in life. What about you?

In any case, here are some Monday dachshund memes to brighten your day:

It's impossible to NOT love dachshunds!!

WHAT? NO BARKING??

As doxie lovers and owners already know, dachshunds bark at just about anything--and it's nearly impossible to shush them! 

That's why this cartoon caught my eye, because very few dachshunds refrain from barking out of fear. They're go getters, brash, and take on other animals twice their size! But they run from the vacuum cleaner. Go figure.

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em--even their extremely loud bark.

BACK TO SCHOOL ALREADY??

Our county schools here in Georgia started today, and although our grandchildren are homeschooled, they also started today. The school program our daughter teaches with is Classical Conversations, a great, well-rounded curriculum--the kiddos have learned so much!

Does it seem that schools start earlier and earlier each fall? That's because they have more breaks and teacher work days during the year, thus making it last longer.

They meet once a week with the area group; our daughter teaches the new material to older homeschoolers and parents, who then work on mastering it at home for the week. May it be a great year for all concerned!

EVER HAD THIS HAPPEN, DOXIE LOVERS?
