HOWL-O-WIENER DACHSHUNDS #17


They say all good things must come to an end, and that's certainly true for my howl-o-wiener blog posts. Today is the final post of Halloween doxie costumes. If no one else has enjoyed these cute and unique costumes, I certainly have!

Before I forget, I probably won't be posting next week because (1) the grandchildren will be spending a few days with us (yay!), and (2) I must complete my manuscript of A DACHSHUND'S MERRY-GO-ROUND LIFE, Book 5. It is due to the publisher on Nov. 20 for the Nov. 30 release! Yikes!

I have two more chapters to write, then I must do edits and format the document for e-book publication. Enough. You aren't here to read about that--you're here to see doxie photos! So, without further ado, here they are:

Kangaroo, koala bears, and doxies, oh my!

Minion doxies

Skunk doxie

Per my usual custom, here's an extra howl-o-wiener doxie in honor of Friday:

Not sure what this one is--perhaps a celebrity incognito?
HAPPY HALLOWEEN and have a great weekend!

"No tricks--I'd just like treats, thank you very much!"

Happy Monday, doxie lovers (although maybe "happy" and "Monday" don't often go together, LOL!).

HOWL-O-WIENER DOXIES #7


My, October is marching along, isn't it?  Won't be long before the BIG day, so I'd better get some more of these doxie costumes posted! 

Hope you had a great weekend. Our town's fall festival was scheduled, but it got rained out.  The grandkids were disappointed, because a family friend had made them some terrific costumes for the costume contest . . . we had fun eating out and shopping, anyway. They'll get to wear those new costumes at other events.

Here are today's really cute howl-o-wiener doxie costumes:


Off to catch those bad guys!

The quintessential doxie hot dog: one of my favorites

Ketchup and mustard, anyone?

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em.  Enjoy!
