Sometimes I will be going about my day and I’ll pause to see what they doxies are doing. Last week unprompted or staged, I stumbled across this scene. I grabbed the camera and snapped away. Pure sweetness, I say. It’s stolen moments like this that make me smile big.

Weekly bonus pictures of Rufus & Emily. These were from a shoot I did on Wednesday and I featured a few on Friday, but I love the series so much I had to dip again from the stock. I love that my two doxies are really bonding. Emily was not our first choice of a doxie from the pictures we saw, but she is definitively the right choice for our family.

The big finale to our week celebrating senior doxies is the 15 ½ year old longhair red dachshund Baxter Brunn. I think our senior doxies are something special and I look forward to having two of my own someday.

What’s better than a picture of Rufus or Emily? A picture with both Rufus and Emily! All humans of doxies are familiar with the fame doxie ear flip and here is Rufus and Emily showing theirs.

Celebrating our senior doxies this week, I’m thrilled to showcase Daisy. Estimated to be 16 years old, Daisy was rescued last May (2011) from the Baldwin Park Animal Shelter. I love her white raccoon face.

Emily is 4 pounds and celebrates 15 weeks this Friday. We have personally had her in our lives for only 6 weeks now, and I already have a stockpile of photos. She is starting to really look like a dachshund I think.

Our friends at Southern California Dachshund Relief are running an “adopt a senior doxie special” for the month of March so this week, in addition or our regular Rufus & Emily post, we’re showcasing a few of my favorite senior doxies. Today we’re featuring Pumpkin. Pumpkin was 11 at the time of the photos.

Dachshunds truly represent a unique breed of dog. From my personal experience I have seen an intelligent, independent and alert hound dog. I love my dachshunds.

One might think a sleeping doxie is boring and uneventful, but humans of dachshunds know different. Watching a sleeping doxie is like food for the soul. To see a normally active doxie pause and rest, allows us to see their beauty in its entirety – something we can fail to fully appreciate until they’re still and quiet.

Turning 8 weeks old Sophie’s puppies show their independence and individual personalities. Sadly for me this Friday was probably the last time I’ll be able to photograph the complete litter of 6 as they have all been placed in loving forever homes and will start to be disbursed next week. Luckily for all of our subscribers and readers, I have a small stock pile of pictures for us to enjoy in the year ahead.
