The White Masked Dog Makes Friends Easily
Kylie and Larry

Late yesterday we got to meet our friend, Jon’s new little dachshund puppy. His name is Larry. Don’t you just love it?

Larry had absolutely no fear what-so-ever about bounding right into Kylie’s kennel. Of course, after he took about a million spins racing into the living room and flying around the corner into the kitchen. Oh, the energy he has!

And here’s the thing about Kylie – I’ve never had to worry about her around other dog’s. She is completely open and acceptable. I swear she is a saint in disguise in a dog body. She is a gentle giant with a very soft and compassionate heart. She makes me want to be a better person every time I’m around her.

Gidget on the other hand, well, she was pretty good. But just a wee bit jealous. Apparently my lap is just for her. She made sure I knew this and that I don’t forget it.

When I brought up this photo of Larry and Kylie on my computer I was taken aback at how white Kylie is getting – sort of looking like she has a mask on like raccoon’s, but in white instead.

The older she gets the sweeter she becomes. And the more she tugs at my heart. I can’t imagine a day without her, but I know it will come.

But moments like this and how loving she is toward others pups made me love her even more — I really don’t even know how that is possible — because every time I’m with her, my heart spills over with immense joy.

She is truly one the sweetest dogs I’ve ever known.

Thank you for subscribing to my journal posts.

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.
