HAPPY HOWL-O-WIENER, FRIENDS!


Hope all of you have a happy and safe Halloween--and if you live in an area affected by Hurricane Sandy, you are in our prayers.  May the Lord encourage you, uplift you, and provide for you.

People across America are donating time, funds, and prayers for those who have lost everything.  That's the spirit of America :).

BANANA SPLIT, ANYONE??



"Good grief, Mama has really done it now--dressing me as a banana split, for heaven's sake!  She really likes this costume, but I don't like ANY of 'em--I just like being ME."

AHOY, MATEYS!


"Ahoy, mateys!  Mama has me dressed appropriately at the dock--but I sincerely hope I don't fall in (we doxies usually don't like water) OR get seasick!"

SKUNK IT!




"Mama, if I wear this, nobody will like me!  People will point . . . people will laugh . . . they will say I'm a stinker!"

Friends on Facebook (Mavis Duke Hinton's Books) tell me this is their favorite doxie Halloween costume thus far.  What do you think?

GET 'EM WHILE THEY'RE DOWN!

My books in THE DACHSHUND ESCAPADES series have been reduced on Amazon! I AM SARGE has been reduced to $11.66, and I AM DACHSHUND has been reduced to $13.22! Order yours before the prices go up again :).

Written from Sarge the dachshund's viewpoint, you'll be laughing out loud at his "lowdown on the ground" regarding his family, friends, and life in general :). Sarge's stories are based on my real family, and are 95% true--from Papa Duke's humorous-but-true funny Army stories, to Sarge's keen insight into humans, these books would delight any dog lover, from older children to adults--and perfect Christmas gifts!  (Yes, it's time to begin thinking about Christmas already.)

Here's the link to I AM SARGE:

 Note:  DACHSHUNDS FOREVER, my third book in the series, is with my publisher and awaiting publication.  And, A DACHSHUND'S TRIBUTE, the fourth book, is about three-fourths of the way completed :).

BURIED ALIVE!



With the waning days of summer upon us (I live in the South, so it's still warm here), I thought this photo of a dachshund enjoying the beach might be fitting.  So many are already mourning the passing of summer, so perhaps this cute pic will foster happy reminders of those days just past.

By the way, how they got that doxie to stay buried in the sand like that is beyond me!  My Duke would never lie still for it!  (Sorry, I had to say it :).
