A LAND SHARK VS. A REAL ONE

Are you a fan of the Discovery Channel's Shark Week on TV? It's a pretty popular program, so I thought I'd get into the act, doxie style:

"Here Comes Meatball"

Staring down each other. Oooooo!

Here's one ready to hit the waves

I can practically hear the theme song
from the movie Jaws in my head!

Dachshunds are also known as "land sharks," and they definitely have some of those shark tendencies--just as a badger!

COOL DOXIES

"Yo, dude--whatsup?"

"Howdy, podnah! Head 'em up, move 'em out!"

Surfer dude, aka Crusoe

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em!

BEACH DOXIES

"I love the beach, but the breeze always blows
my fur in my eyes"

"Such clear water! Maybe I'll catch a fish or crab!"

"There's nothing like drying off in the sun after
a quick dip in the ocean"

HAPPY FRIDAY, DOXIE LOVERS, AND

HAVE A FABULOUS WEEKEND!!!

MIRROR, MIRROR . . .

"Mirror, mirror, on the table,

Tell me truly, if you're able,

Am I the best dog in the land?

Tell me NOW, I DEMAND!"

NOW WHAT?

Tee hee - I had to post this!  Too cute to let it slide. Have a great Monday, doxie lovers.

"Seriously??"

EVER HAD AN X-RAY LIKE THIS ONE?

If you love doxies, they're always in your heart--even when they're gone.

DISTORTED SELF PERCEPTION, DOXIE STYLE

It's no surprise to doxie lovers that dachshunds have been known to take on animals that are twice their size--or much larger. Outgoing to the point of brashness, dachshunds were bred to hunt badgers, who are no shrinking violets themselves.

Doxies make watch dogs, be they on the lookout for their human or their favorite toy. They just don't have the size to back up those egos, and can get seriously injured. Therefore, we have to watch out for them.

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em.

DACHSHUND PORTRAITS

Most of the pictures of these doxies below are professionally done. It's amazing just how many color varieties there are of dachshund coats, as these pictures will attest. There are three coat types: smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired. All are beautiful.

Enjoy!

 

CHOW HOUND EXTRAORDINAIRE TO THE RESCUE

Dachshunds perform and very helpful and appreciated service in this world: ridding it of unwanted bits of food that fall in their vicinity. Isn't that thoughtful of them?

Happy Monday, doxie lovers!

THOSE EVER-VIGILANT CHOW HOUNDS EXTRAORDINAIRE

"Look! He's gonna take another bite!"

My granddawg Sunny is the typical doxie: in this photo,
she's begging for a bite of my sandwich!

"He can stare at squirrels all day, but I wanna watch you eat
that. Can I have some, too, perhaps?"

Happy July 1, doxie lovers!
