HOW SWEET IS THAT?

A doxie mama with her pups is one of the sweetest things, don't you agree?

IF IT'S NOT A DACHSHUND . . .

I think most dachshund lovers/owners feel just this way . . . I certainly do. Although I love most dogs, there's just something about our doxies, right? Perhaps it's their innate ability to be comical (and they'll really ham it up if you laugh at them). Or maybe it's their multiple facial expressions--whatever that doxie essence is, this breed is a fabulous dog, a furry friend, and wonderful companion.

NEVER TAKE FOR GRANTED!

I agree totally.  My doxie Duke is so loving, especially if one of us isn't feeling well.  He takes his responsibility of caretaker seriously:  he stays close, gazes into eyes, gives doggie kisses, and looks concerned. 

Very sweet.
