WEENIE DOG WEDNESDAY: FACES THAT TELL IT ALL

 I’ve always thought that doxies are unnervingly human at times, and being the master manipulators they are, their faces tell us everything (that they want us to believe, that is). 

What do you think these doxies are saying with their facial expressions?

Happy Wednesday, doxie lovers!

WEENIE DOG WEDNESDAY!

 These doxies today are, in a word, BEAUTIFUL! Of course, all doxies are beautiful to me, and I love all their traits, even those that some people think are negatives: loud bark, stubbornness, manipulating us, etc. I love everything about them.

So, without further ado, here's today's beauties for your viewing pleasure:

                                               

Have a great Weenie Dog Wednesday, doxie lovers! See you next time.

HEEEEERE'S SUNNY - AND FATHER'S DAY

Sunny and moi

Our cute doxie granddawg Sunny joined our daughter Holly's family on Saturday, and we got to meet her Sunday afternoon, Father's Day. Well, she has all of us wrapped around her tiny, soft paw already!
She turned eight weeks old on Saturday, she has big, expressive eyes and a cute bark--and is feisty.

We didn't know how her boxer "brother" Bruno would take to her--but she handled him with ease. She was on the couch and she thought he got too close, (he merely laid his head on the edge of the couch cushion), and she growled at him! Bruno jumped back. One dawg down.

Then, we wondered how Duke would receive her, since he's the only "baby" in our house. He was fine, too. He wagged his tail at her, and they did touch noses a few times, but they seemed to think "this is the way it is," and went on with the day.

Below are some photos of the day:

Never fear--I'll be posting plenty of photos of Sunny from now on. A Facebook friend said she "stole the show." 

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em!

DACHSHUNDS ARE "WATCHDOGS"

That's right--they watch every bite we put into our mouths, hoping for a bite we'll share with them.

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em!

DO YOU AGREE?

Our doxie Duke makes me laugh every single day--several times. From his facial expressions, body language, comical actions--he makes life so much fun.

How about you? Does your doxie make your life fun? Let us know in the comments below!

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!

It sure is! Just look:

How can anyone resist such cuties, I ask!

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em!

GRANDKIDS, SWIMMING, AND STONE MOUNTAIN PARK

Our grandchildren were with us last week, and boy, did we have a blast! They went swimming in one of our county's local pools, went shopping, visited our library for reading material, watched some old movies on Netflix, and of course, visited Stone Mountain Park. 

Ready to swim!

We had a wonderful time with them. Duke was extremely happy they were here, too, and was sad when they left.

They're coming back Sunday afternoon for Father's Day--and are bringing their new puppy, Sunny! Never fear--we will take photos and share them here.

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em!

WHEN IN ROME . . .

"Here, birdie, birdie, birdie! Well, when in Rome, do as the Romans--
so that's what I'm doing--pretending to be a bird to get a bird!?

Dachshunds are quite adaptable, don't you agree? You gotta love 'em.

DACHSHUNDS: CHOW HOUNDS EXTRAORDINAIRE

We all make jokes about how much doxies love to eat, but since their noses are about 100,000 times more powerful than ours, it's no wonder that food smells so good to them! When they smell spaghetti sauce, they smell each ingredient separately--so they know if we've forgotten the basil, the garlic--what have you.

Here are some prime examples of what I think dachshunds are thinking when they see or smell food:

"Look! He's getting ready to take another bite!"

"If I'm quick, I can polish off those donuts before anyone even notices!"

No caption needed

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em--AND their noses!

DACHSHUNDS: CRAZY SLEEPING POSITIONS

Does your doxie sleep in crazy sleeping positions? Honestly, I don't know how they manage to get any sleep at all sometimes, and if they do, how do they keep from having sore necks, sore backs, and sore bodies?

Here are some of the more interesting ones I've seen lately:

"X MARKS THE SPOT" SIBLINGS 

THE "HIGH FIVE" DREAMER

THE COUCH SLUG

THE "I MUST SLEEP WITH A TOY" FUR BABY
(And what a toy for a doxie!)

"THE SNAKE IN THE COUCH CUSHIONS" DOXIE

Which one is your favorite? And, does your doxie use some of these positions (or perhaps some that are even more outlandish? 

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em!
