I love these red darling dachshunds. Don’t you?! Rufus at the beach basking in the sun and Lily at the dog park carefully monitoring her surroundings. Have a wonderful day dachshund friends.

Lily ask, “Got beach!?” If you don’t, she wants you know she’s doing her best to enjoy it for everyone. Lily loves the beach. Have a great one dachshund friends.

My darling reds

I absolutely adore my darling red dachshunds. I know some folks like those “unique” colors (as do I), but I must admit I remain a big fan of a classic red (though I’m certain I’m slightly bias). Make it a great day dachshund friends.

*** DOGS Summer 2014 Update: We received word on Friday that the shirts are ready and are preparing to ship early next week which means we’ll probably receive them by week’s end. I hope to ship them to the people (YOU) on Monday, June 9 if all goes well. I’m super excited and eager to see them myself. ***

One ear dachshund

Even with one ear missing, Rex remains very handsome in my opinion. No one is really certain of how Rex lost his ear, and truthfully it’s unimportant. Rex is proof that dachshunds look good with two ears or one. What do you think?! Have a great day dachshunds friends.

Leftovers

Today featured photos are leftovers. The top one is another patriotic picture of Rufus from this past Memorial Day Weekend. The bottom one is Rufus getting his laser therapy. For those uninformed, COLD (a very important distinction) laser therapy is often used to help manage pain, reduce inflammation, increase mobility and help to speed recovery. One often uses cold laser therapy for the following conditions: arthritis; sprains and strains; post-surgical recovery; tendon and ligament injuries; and acute or chronic pain. I’m a huge fan of cold laser therapy and recommend it for any dachshund experiencing one or more of the aforementioned conditions. It’s a non-invasive and relatively easy treatment for the doxie with some proven results. Have a great day dachshund friends.

P.S. Raffle items will ship tomorrow to the addresses provided during the Paypal transaction. Tracking information will follow via email as it becomes available. Thanks!
