My dachshunds love their crate and each of them take turns visiting it throughout the day all on their own. I believe a crate can be a cold cage or it can be a soft, warm and inviting den. I have worked hard to create the latter for my doxie triad. I have included an old foam pillow wrapped in two pillowcases along with multiple soft blankets. What tickles me pink these days is Emily has just recently started to crawl in one of the two pillowcases enveloping the foam pillow, much like a person would do with a sleeping bag, and I love it. It is a fun sight to see and I’m happy to share it with you today. We all know doxies love to burrow as Emily clearly continues to demonstrate. How about your doxie(s)?! Are they burrowers?!

Polite reminder: only two days left to pre-order your DOGS Fall 2013 T-shirt. The pre-order period closes at midnight PST on Sunday, 10/6. I will only be ordering 20 of each longhair design and 10 of the smooth reprint. That’s not a lot of inventory so if you know you want one, I strongly encourage you do get yours now at the discounted donation price point. I’m certain they’ll go fast in November.
