THE PINK CADILLAC

 Friends and Followers,

My only sibling Steve passed away in March. That’s why we have his chiweenie Abby. I shared this story on my other social media. 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.

Cream, anyone? Doxies, that is! Today we’re featuring “the cream of the crop,” English creams. 

What makes them so special? They were bred in England specifically for their light, champagne-colored silky coats. They’re always longhaired minis, always have black features: eyes, nose, lips, toenails, paw pads.

According to Google, “English cream dachshunds are highly prized for their luxurious, pale-to-golden cream coats and famously mellow temperaments. Primarily long-haired miniatures, they are often considered the most laid back of the dachshund family, though they still possess the breed's signature loyalty, intelligence, and playful burrowing instincts.”

Their coat colors can vary from nearly white  to shaded, meaning black tipped ears and tail. They have the chinchilla gene, and are often the clear or ee true cream. There is much more info about them on Google or other sites, but too lengthy to include here.

Creams are true head turners! Have a happy WEENSday, FURiends!

The Case of the Crinkly Bag

🐾DEAR DIARY:

Today, Mama attempted a top-secret mission: 

•She walked into the kitchen on her tiptoes. 

•She quietly reached into the pantry. •She barely touched the corner of a plastic bag.

💥CRINKLE💥

Diary, I was asleep three rooms away under two heavy blankets! But as a professional dachshund, I don’t sleep when snacks are at risk, so I deployed my secret weapon: "Doxie Teleportation." 

Before she could even open the bag, I was sitting at her feet, staring directly into her soul with my best puppy-dog eyes. She gasped and asked how I got there so fast. Silly human! I am 10% legs, 90% radar ears. 

It turned out to be potato chips. I love those. One "accidentally" fell. Mission accomplished.
