Bailey turned 7 this past May, and today’s post is dedicated to this distinctive stunningly marked piebald dachshund. His is coat is an eye turner and his personality is shy but super sweet. I really enjoyed getting to know him last year.

Lake Arrowhead on Tuesday and Huntington Dog Beach on Wednesday, Emily is living the posh life of a Southern Californian doxie.  Here’s a video of Emily & Rufus enjoying the beach.

Lake Arrowhead

I’m a huge advocate of showing our doxies the world outside of our private homes, and this Memorial Day weekend I introduced Emily Sue to Lake Arrowhead. This was Emily’s first boat ride and with Rufus, a lake veteran, by her side she quickly got comfortable on the water.

The girls’ club

Emily is usually the only girl around these parts so it was fun to see the dynamic change slightly with another female around: Grizzly the wild boar wirehair. The two seemingly got along nicely and Emily was very curious about her. Today is all about girl doxie power.

Memorial Day is a time of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Many Americans celebrate the occasion barbequing and proudly displaying our country’s flag. My two hot dogs, Rufus and Emily, are wishing everyone a happy and safe Memorial Day.

The wirehairs’ last day

My weeklong doxie sitting duties of the wirehairs is coming to an end. It has been a wonderful week with lots of fun memories and pictures. I will miss my funny furballs, but luckily for me they only live down the street.

It’s a Westin Henry day

Westin Henry bursts with confidence. He is a bold barking hunter as he diligently guards the backyard in regular intervals, but when he comes inside he transforms to sweet, lovable ball of fur looking for scratches.  Just another example of the dachshund dichotomy.
