THE EPITOME OF HAPPINESS

Image may contain: dog

Have you EVER seen such a happy face, be it dog or human? They say that dogs don't smile, but I beg to differ. If that isn't a smile, I don't know what is!

And how about this one:

Two very happy hot dogs

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em! If you can beat 'em, join 'em.

KEEPING WARM WHEN IT'S COLD OUTSIDE

It's been a cold winter thus far, and we've already had two snowfalls here in North Georgia. Dogs, especially smooth coat doxies, like to stay warm. These two below are truly "hot dogs"!

SO DOXIE!

Image may contain: meme and text

Doxies definitely think they're supposed to be a part of everything the family does, don't you agree? They're so intelligent, curious, and downright pushy about it, too. They hold grudges and sulk if we don't allow them to go with us every time we go out the door. But that's just a sign of their love for us!

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em.

SUNNY AND BRUNO'S CHRISTMAS

Our family always enjoys getting together, because it's seldom that we can all be under one roof. That was true for our holidays as well. Our daughter Bethany and son-in-law Kurt couldn't come from Arizona this year, but we'll see them in February for an extended stay. 

Sunny and Bruno were a tad bewildered about all the hustle and bustle, wrapping of gifts, comings and goings, and all the baking and cooking going on--they wanted a piece of THAT action! Below, Bruno's face in the first pictures says it all.
