HE-E-E-E-E-E-RE'S SUNNY!

I took a little break from blogging, but I'm b-a-a-a-ck!

Here's granddawg Sunny enjoying the Georgia weather (in the 70s) on their screened-in porch:

"Now where did that squirrel go??"

"Mo-ommm! Enough photos of me already!"

"Did I hear the fridge open?"

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em, especially granddawgs!

I HATE BATHS!

"I HATE BATHS. I HATE BUBBLE BATHS.
I HATE SCENTED SOAP. I HATE TOWELS.
I HATE BAAAAAAATHS!!"

Happy Friday and have a great weekend, doxie lovers! 

WAIT FOR IT . . .

That husky's face in the meme above is PRICELESS.  

Dogs are people, too!

MmmmHmmm!

All of us doxie lovers pretty much agree that the above meme nails it when it comes to our beloved breed. Oh, we know they're stubborn to a fault, try to steal our food, beds, couches, chairs--but what they give in return is priceless: unconditional love.

Papa Duke, one of the beloved characters in THE DACHSHUND ESCAPADES series books (who also happened to be my dad), so aptly states our feelings about dogs:

"A dawg loves you no matter what. You can be ugly, old, even dumb--but a dawg don't care. All he wants is your love and some food now and then. I think dawgs represent the unconditional love God has for us--maybe that's why He created them, to show that to us."

So there you have it--dogs aren't man's best friends by accident! 

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em, because they love us. It's that simple.

NEW CHRISTMAS PRESENT

"How do you like my new ball I got for Christmas?"

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em!

Be sure to read yesterday's post about the FREE EBOOK PROMO going on right now!

WHAT? MONDAY AGAIN??

Have a wonderful week, doxie lovers. It's the beautiful Christmas season, and there's much to be thankful for! 

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em!

'TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY!

I don't know how Thanksgiving flew past us, but it did! Well, in our family, we had three birthdays to celebrate in November, plus Thanksgiving. Also, our daughter and SIL left us to head back to AZ in their RV. We had a celebratory sendoff dinner for them as well. So, now we're already in the Christmas season, one of my favorite times of the year. This month, you're going to see lots of Christmas doxies, so buckle up and enjoy the view!

Merry Christmas, doxie lovers! I pray you will have a wonderful season and many blessings with your loved ones!

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:
