HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOXIES

I often give friends on Facebook who are having a birthday a doxie card, because it's just fun. And it reminds them that I love dachshunds!

Here are a few of them:

Dachshunds . . . you gotta love 'em!

HAPPY 12TH BIRTHDAY TO SHADOW!

Today marks the 12th birthday of my granddawg, Shadow!  He is, of course the dachshund "author" of my series of books written from his viewpoint, THE DACHSHUND ESCAPADES.

I'm looking forward to my third book, DACHSHUNDS FOREVER, to be in publication soon.  Shadow (as Sarge in the books) relates more of his interesting tales about his zany family, notably Papa Duke, his favorite person in the entire world.

Join me in wishing Shadow a wonderful birthday today!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DUKE!

June 28 was Duke's fifth birthday . . .

With his siblings the day we met him

Scared puppy: in the
car on the way home

He was eight weeks old when he joined our family, and we've never been the same since :). He's brought so much joy and sparkle into our lives, and he's chock full of all those innate dachshund traits, love 'em or hate 'em: stubbornness, a pinchant for barking (heaven help us if someone rings the doorbell!), a chow hound extraordinaire, a sense of the comic, affectionate, and a love for napping.



He is introduced in I AM DACHSHUND, Book 2 of THE DACHSHUND ESCAPADES series.

We love you, Duke!  <{{{<
