Those Crazy Dachshunds!

It never fails.

When I mention the antics of our 3 dachshunds on the air, doxie lovers come out of the woodwork!

Once you own a dachshund... or should I say a dachshund owns YOU.. life is never the same.

As I write this, I have no doubt Kirby, Dudley, the Archie are working on a project in the backyard right now.

It could be digging holes in the grass I USED to try to keep perfectly manicured.

Or maybe it's ripping up a branch from one of the plants or shrubs.

In between all of this important work they bark.

I guess they buy into the idea of "I bark, therefore I am."

Watch out, neighbor dog over the backyard wall!

So.. for all of those who have emailed pictures of their doxies, thanks!!

And here are my guys:

Suspect Number 1: Archie.

He's getting gray so I call him the "Silver Bullet".
Even though he's 11, he's still quick out of the gate.
He has to be.

To survive.

Here's Suspect Number 2: Dudley.

Age: A year-and-a-half.

Don't let the smile fool you.

He's way too smart.

Way too athletic.

Way too much energy.

But he's still "Cuddly Dudley".

Finally, here's our big guy ...Suspect Number 3: Kirby.

He's Dudley's brother. They're from the same litter.

Age: A year-and-a half.

Laid back, with a sensitive spirit and a desire to please.
He's kindness and love in a black fur coat.

What a blessing these guys are!

Wait a minute.

Hold up.

I just realized something.

I'll need to re-read this blog entry one day when the latest

"project" is an underground tunnel to China.

Let's see.... I said... "What a blessing these guys are"....... right?
