Another special public shout out of gratitude to our friend and DOGS supporter April M. of North Carolina. If you failed to win, please consider contacting April directly through her Etsy shop:  LowRiderLuver and order your handcrafted dachshund gift of choice. Use the promo code RUFUS2014 through July 31 to receive a 10% discount. 

Today’s featured photos are a composite of Emily in kitchen begging for some more, much like Oliver Twist did in Dickens’ novel. We naturally think it’s sweet. Rufus and Lily will jump on your leg when they want something, but Emily will scratch at it gently as though she’s saying, “Excuse me. Where’s mine?!” Adorable.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend dachshund friends.

Today’s featured photos are quintessential dachshund behavior in the kitchen. I’m big fan of keeping dachshunds out of the kitchen when cooking for their safety, but when making a sandwich or other lighter fare, I naturally let them linger. My dachshunds go especially crazy when we chop vegetables because they of course assume it is for them. Familiar scene dachshund friends?!!

Please don’t forget to get your raffle tickets. Only FIVE hours left to get yours. Winners will be announced tomorrow. We’re still issuing numbers as we type. At our last look we still had 10 folks to email. As soon as we get caught up more folks buy tickets. It’s wonderful problem to have, and we’ll make certain everyone has their numbers in their inboxes before we draw. Good luck dachshund friends!!!

Emily says, “Stop looking at my butt and buy your raffle tickets already.” Only one day left to buy your raffle tickets for our DOGS Memorial Day Weekend Raffle. If you have already donated, and haven’t already received your raffle numbers, they’re forthcoming. We spent a large portion of the last two days getting many of them out via email, but we still have about 13 folks to go. Thanks in advance dachshund friends for all the support. Have a wonderful dachshund day.

Rufus is sadly showing signs of age as he approaches his 10th birthday this August. I suspect he still has many more years with us, but there comes a time in everyone’s life when we start to see toll of Father Time. It happens to us all. Until further notice though, Rufus remains our reigning King among our pack of dachshunds. We love you Rufus – past, present and future!!! Make it a great day dachshund friends.
