Four days and counting until Valentine’s Day. I think this hallmark holiday means different things to different people. For our purposes on Rufusonthweb, we’re choosing to use the occasion to celebrate our grand love for the dachshund breed. I know of no better way to express my deep admiration than by showcasing two of my faves: Rufus & Emily. These dapper looking doxies sincerely melt my heart daily with just a look.

Don’t forget, if you’re searching for that special Valentine’s Day present for the doxieholic in your life; consider making a tax deductible donation to DOGS and getting a limited edition, one-of-a-kind book: 102 Dachshunds.
