I wasn’t exaggerating when I wrote last Sunday that the floodgates are open on the birthday celebrations. This past Monday our friend Brutus, the smooth red dapple, turned 9 years old. I’m particularly attached to Brutus because he and Rufus are nearly the same age; Rufus will be 9 in August. Brutus and his pack mate Sophie are featured in the book 102 Dachshunds.

In honor of Brutus and all the of other doxies celebrating birthdays this last week we are offering a special one-day Mother’s Day promotion for the book 102 Dachshunds; make a tax-deductible donation today for $115 (normally $135) via PayPal and get your autographed copy of the limited edition coffee-table book delivered just in time for mom. This book is only available here. You can’t get this book anywhere else. It’s our gift to you in exchange for your premium donation to the 501c3 charity DOGS. If you’re looking for that perfect one-of-kind present for Mom, this is it.
