AN ETERNAL TRUTH HERE . . .

All I can say to that is: AMEN!

Doxies are quick, they are always hungry, and they can hear the fridge opening from a mile away, even if they are dead asleep when we tiptoe into the kitchen are ever so quiet!

BUT . . .

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em!  They're human in fur and four paws.

SELF IMAGE

horizontal stripes make my nose look big?"

HOW TO DECORATE A CHRISTMAS TREE

With doxie ornaments, of course!  I must confess that I have only ONE doxie ornament on my tree. After Duke passed, I haven't felt the urge to buy more, but that doesn't mean I don't still love doxies!

I've scoured the net, and here are some lovely doxie ornaments for you:

Which is your favorite?

PLOTTINGS AND INTRIGUES

Weekly meeting of the
"How-to-Get-Rid-of-the-Cat Committee"

Who knows what's going on in those doxie heads? This "committee" is quite possible, I'm sure!

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em.

DANDY DOXIE DUDES: "STEPPIN' OUT" IN TUXEDOS!

Here are some really handsome doxie dudes ready for a holiday or a night on the town. They look like they KNOW they're handsome--and we can't argue with that. 

After being dressed up as who knows what for Halloween, and soon to be dressed up as turkeys, elves, pilgrims, or reindeer and Christmas trees, it's probably a welcome change to be handsome.

Rock on, doxie dudes!

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em!

ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END

Doxie lovers: 

Have you ever wondered what dachshunds think about us humans?

❤️ A DACHSHUND’S MERRY-GO-ROUND LIFE was a labor of love for me, but also a bittersweet task as I completed this final book of Sarge’s tales about his zany family (which also happens to be my own family 😊). Sarge’s special doxie insights and his love for humans—in spite of their flaws—resonate with doxie lovers, because they already understand how clever dachshunds are!

Book 5 of
THE DACHSHUND ESCAPADES

❤️ The golden thread of unconditional love woven throughout Sarge’s stories encourages and uplifts readers as they smile at his comical antics. True to his breed, he is driven by his love for food, and his

nose sometimes gets him into trouble.

❤️ Sarge’s colorful characters leap from the pages of his books, forever enshrined in this memoir. From his humans to the animals—Duke his doxie protégé, the six conniving cats (remember the Fuzz Brothers?), Gizmo the annoying cockatiel—all make his charming but unique family memorable.

❤️ Now a mature doxie, Sarge sees Mama, Daddy, and his three human siblings (growing so quickly) in a new light, because life is rushing by and he savors every moment. And, he entrusts his title of Grand Dawg to Duke, well trained by Sarge and ready for the task.

❤️ Notably, his beloved Papa Duke (my own late father) forever remains Sarge’s favorite human—in fact, since Papa understands Sarge so well, he bestows the title of “honorary dawg” upon Papa, a high compliment.

My doxie granddawg Shadow (my inspiration for
Sarge the doxie) and my own doxie Duke, his
protege in Sarge's stories

OOPS!

PURE LOVE

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is one of the MANY
reasons I love dogs!

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em, because they love us, no matter what.

CHILLIN' ON A MONDAY

Here we have granddawg Sunny chillin' on the couch--with Mama's blanket that she stole! Such is life when one lives with dachshunds. They love their blankies, and anyone else's they can get their paws on!

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em!

If you own a dachshund,
"long" can be a good thing!

HOWL-O-WIENER DOXIE: A WAFFLE!

I don't know about you, but I think this doxie costume is tops! So creative, so cute, so "sweet"!

Howl-o-wiener is almost here, and doxies everywhere will probably breathe a sigh of relief. That is, until it's time to dress them up for Thanksgiving. Poor things.

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em.

Very "punny"

HOWL-O-WIENER DOXIES: COWBOYS

The Old West is still a beloved era of American history, and cowboys have been romanticized in film, books, and numerous TV shows in days gone by, such as Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Have Gun Will Travel, Rawhide, The Rifleman, and Big Valley, several of which are still seen in syndication.

In honor of that time in our history, today's doxies are cowboys extraordinaire. Let's go lasso us some ponies with 'em, shall we? 

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em, spurs and all.

HOWL-O-WIENER DOXIE: KETCHUP AND MUSTARD

What else do Americans put on their "hot dogs" over and over again?

And here's a "hot dog" to combine with them:

HAPPY MONDAY, DOXIE LOVERS!

PUMPKIN DACHSHUNDS AND DACHSHUND PUMPKINS!

Ah, these doxies and pumpkins--aren't they the cutest?  Enjoy these today for a bright spot in your Monday, doxie lovers:

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em.

HOWL-O-WIENER DOXIE: DOMESTIC DIVA!

"I have to do everything around here! You'd think the cat
could at least pick up his own toys, but nooooo. And the
humans are pretty messy, too. I am totally unappreciated,
and one of these days, I'm gonna just quit!"

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em!

HOWL-O-WIENER DOXIES: BROADWAY STARS!

These costumes are superb, and the doxies wearing them have carried off the look perfectly. Doxies know how to act a certain way to get what they want, and all doxie parents learn that pretty quickly. And although we're on to them, those EYES are really hard to resist. And they know it!

Dachshunds . . . you GOTTA love 'em. There's no way around that, no matter what they do.

Oh, they love to bark, don't they?

And they're oh, so helpful!

HOWL-O-WIENER DOXIE: AN ANGEL (AREN'T THEY ALL??)

Sometimes, it's hard decide if a doxie is a devil or an angel--or both at the same time! Dachshunds are so very lovable and cute, but boy, can they get into things they aren't supposed to, despite their short legs. Determination is the key, and they have an extra helping of that, right?

Here are a few examples of doxies being somewhat less than angelic:

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em! Have a great week, doxie lovers!
