I Bet You are Just Dying to Know What a Weenie Pocket is!

weenie pocket 2 1200As you can see by the photo, and may have already figured it out – yup- this is what a weenie pocket is. Every weenie really ought to have one!

If you know dachshund’s well, most of them love to burrow.  This pocket is just what every weenie needs to snuggle in. It is super soft on the inside and has an adorable fleece as the outer layer.  This particular pattern has the cutest wiener dogs decked out in splashy colored rain boots.  There are other patterns to choose from as you will see on Wendy’s website.

Gidget especially loves her pocket right in front of the woodstove. The other day she was so snug and happy within that I picked up the whole pocket and transported her out to my writing cottage, and plunked her gently in front of my little gas stove. She barely moved an inch and kept on snoring!

weenie pocket 1 1200This special post and weenie pocket would not have been possible if not for the big heart of a dear dachsie friend, Ms. Linda.  She had this sent as a gift for Gidget and we are most thankful for her kind heart.  You may recall, Linda is the angel who flew on a plane all day last October to bring Joie to me when I adopted her from Oregon Dachshund Rescue.  There are some pretty amazing and sweet people in the world and Linda is absolutely someone very special.

On another happy note, Gidget is Dachsie of the month featured in the Dachshund Delights Newsletter! Click on the photo to read all about it! Stay tuned for a fashion show of photos of Gidget modeling her new hug-a-dog vests and cuddler’s.  Coming soon!

The Moment that Made this Wife So Proud.

1459282_10102706053334307_545952545_nWe are in the home stretch. Cassy Tully – Fine Art studio and shop almost complete. Grand Opening this Friday, Dec. 6th, 6-8pm.  A labor of love and friendship that John and I have been so happy to be a part of for our dear friend, Cassy.

There are many moments I’ve been proud of John. But the past six months I have watched the man I knew I loved from the moment I met him, make me even prouder.

John has given of his time and construction talent in helping Cassy’s dream come true of a new studio and framing shop. This past Friday we had a little celebration with some family and friends at Cassy’s shop as we make our way to completion of her “room to bloom” creative project.

Through a few tears, Cassy thanked everyone for their support. She then presented a plaque that will hang in her new shop and studio:

Cassy Tully – Fine Art

Building our dream Studio and Framing Shop made possible by Barbara & John Techel & JT Construction.

ROOM TO BLOOM

Special thanks to the generous support of Pat & Tim Tully and all of our family and friends.

Watching Cassy show the special plaque to John, I thought my heart would leap right out of my chest with adoration and love. The look on John’s face is the man I’ve known all these years who cares deeply, gives without asking anything in return, and is proud to say Cassy is part of our chosen family.

I’m  so. very. proud of this man I call husband and friend.
