As the first weekend in the New Year draws to an end, we want to take a quick moment to give thanks to all of our friends and fans for a wonderful 2013, while we look forward to an exciting, dachshund filled 2014.

In 2013, we added 361 new posts, growing the total archive of this dedicated dachshund photo blog to 734 entries. There were 949 new pictures uploaded. That’s about 3 pictures per day. The most popular original photographs in 2013 were titled “Black and tan beauty” featuring Emily back in June. Folks from 92 different countries visited our blog throughout the year with the most visits coming from the United States; the UK and Canada were not far behind. My favorite part of the year in review is recognizing our FIVE most active commenters. In order, BIG THANKS to Denise B., Jeannie T., Jane K., Virginia P. and Suzanne B. for their contributions throughout the year. We value and appreciate all of our friends and fans and YOUR comments, shares and likes only add value to our work so from the bottom of our doxie loving hearts – thank you!! We continued to do what we do, because you continued to tune in daily.

In 2014 we look forward to doing more video entries as we continue to watch Rufus, Emily and Lily grow and explore the world around them with friends. One more time for good measure, THANK YOU for a fantastic 2013 and with your continued support we eagerly look forward to a phenomenal 2014.
