Oh Henry! Oh the Puppy Joy!

The adorable Henry

It never fails to amaze me and how dog’s bring people together.

I’ve known of Sue for quite some time. She used to own a Yoga studio, but then sold it but still teaches yoga.

Then she took my workshop last fall on publishing a book and I got to know her a little better.

But today, well today, we were brought together because of our love of dachshunds and her recent adorable addition to her family.

Meet Henry.

Don’t you just want to squeeeeze him?

And does he not look like he could be Miss Gidget’s puppy?

And there you have it…. we just had to get the dog’s together for a photo shoot.

Sue, Henry, Gidget and Nala

On top of the (can I say adorable again? well, I’m going to!) adorable Henry, we got to meet sweet Nala, her doxie sister.

Nala, who is doing her best to love that little stinker Henry who seems to get all the attention of the camera. But I was thrilled to have gotten this shot above with Nala wiggling her way in for some of the spotlight too.

Pure joy holding these two loves in my arms

I’m floating on a cloud of doxie love right now after having the opportunity to meet Henry and Nala. I think the above photo surely does speak to the joy I was feeling.

And the fun eventually does come to an end when a dachshund is still yet a puppy and needs his sleep.  Nighty nite Mr. Henry. And till we meet again, sweet dreams. Sweet dreams.

Special Visitors

Meet Marley, the new addition to my dad’s family.  Isn’t he adorable?  He’s a teddy bear puppy or also referred to as a ragdoll puppy.

He had his first haircut today and is soft as can be. Somehow he has already got my dad wrapped around his little paw. Hard to imagine how he did that. <GRIN>

Nice to have you in the family, Marley!  You’ve already got a place in my heart, that is for sure.

I Died Today.

Though this is a very hard thing to read, it must be read and shared. Pets deserve respect, dignity,honor, and love just like any living, breathing being on earth. They have so much to teach us and we need to open not only our minds to those lessons, but our hearts. I truly believe if we understood what they are teaching us that the world would find peace. I really do.


I Died Today.

“I died today. You got tired of me and took me to the shelter. They were overcrowded and I drew an unlucky number. I am in a black plastic bag in a landfill now. Some other puppy will get the barely used leash you left. My collar was dirty and too small, but the lady took it off before she sent me to the Rainbow Bridge . Would I still be at home if I hadn’t chewed your shoe? I didn’t know what it was, but it was leather, and it was on the floor. I was just playing. You forgot to get puppy toys. Would I still be at home if I had been housebroken? Rubbing my nose in what I did only made me ashamed that I had to go at all. There are books and obedience teachers that would have taught you how to teach me to go to the door. Would I still be at home if I hadn’t brought fleas into the house? Without anti-flea medicine, I couldn’t get them off of me after you left me in the yard for days. Would I still be at home if I hadn’t barked? I was only saying, “I’m scared, I’m lonely, I’m here, I’m here! I want to be your best friend.” Would I still be at home if I had made you happy? Hitting me didn’t make me learn how. Would I still be at home if you had taken the time to care for me and to teach manners to me? You didn’t pay attention to me after the first week or so, but I spent all my time waiting for you to love me. I died today.

Love, Your Puppy …
