We’re celebrating Emily’s “bark mitzvah” today; which is to say Mimi has officially turned lucky 13! And we’re beyond grateful because 5 weeks ago this Monday, Emily woke up with two wobbly back legs and a very uncertain future. So we’re thrilled to share with you all that Emily is walking again!!! She can’t really jump up or take stairs right now, but that’s just fine with us. We say she has limited mobility, and again, for us that’s a big win. She actually adorable when she gets excited and start to do this little hop. Paws crossed she continues to improve.

Okay. Please join us in wishing Emily “Mimi” Sue a very happy and lucky 13th year of life. We spent the day together at home with the pack, gobbling treats, napping and snuggling. What a beautifully charmed life we have.

If you’re keeping track at home, we now have a 11-year-old blind red smooth miniature dachshund, Lily Blossom; and a 13-year-old marginally mobile smooth black and tan tweenie dachshund. Affectionately known as our girls. Along with cousin Milo, everyone’s favorite smooth red dapple. Our girls might not be perfect, but they’re perfect for us and our life.

Love ya! Spoil them while you can. We do. Every. Chance. We. Get.
