Our hearts go out to those still suffering from the lingering winter weather, but in sunny Southern California is feels like we have skipped spring and gone straight to summer. It was a warm day which prevented us from hiking so instead we enjoyed the low-tide of the Pacific Ocean in Ventura. The little, long dogs really seem to enjoy the low-tide. I’m not certain if it’s because the intimidating big waves crashing ashore are less pronounced, or it’s because during low tide lots of little interesting smelling things are uncovered. Here are a few pictures of Rufus’ braving the low-tide shoreline this afternoon. The vernal equinox (or the first day of spring) is officially two days away. Looking forward to celebrating all week long, and we hope others start to see signs of spring coming soon. Be good dachshund friends.

Just another day of dachshund play. Emily and Lily love to play chase; they love to wrestle and they love to bark at each other encouraging both of the aforementioned. It warms the heart to see them enjoy each other so much. Have a great day dachshund friends.

Our good friend Daisy turned 6 today. We have known Daisy since she was a little puppy and adore the delightful longhair low-rider. Happy Birthday Daisy, and may there be many more happy returns. Daisy and her brother Sammy are both featured in our book 102 Dachshunds.
If you’re a fan of longhair dachshunds, don’t miss your opportunity to get a collectible tee featuring one of two longhairs: Colin and Preston. Only 13 shirts left of the longhairs, and once they’re gone, that’s it. Remember the shirts have been recently discounted in celebration of our 800th post: 1 for $35, 2 for $50 and 3 for $60. We will not be producing these same shirts again. Support the charity that champions the breed you love, and get your shirt just in time for Spring.

Rufus says, “Hi.” He also reminds you to get your collectible original DOGS T-shirt while supplies last. They’re going fast and when they’re gone, that’s it. We don’t mass produce or reproduce the shirts so don’t miss out. Only 16 shirts left and counting in three different designs: Colin, Preston and Frankie (in black). Support the charity that champions your breed of choice. We’re raising money for some fun and exciting dachshund centric educational opportunities later this year.

Today is another milestone for us. Today marks our 800th post. We started this daily dachshund photo blog on December 31, 2011. At a little more than 2 years later, we’re humbled and grateful for YOU – our loyal friends and fans. You continue to tune in daily and we love you for it. Your likes, comments and shares on varied social media outlets keep us going. Thank you!
As a token of our appreciation we’re offering the remaining DOGS T-shirts at a discount: 1 shirt for $35, 2 for $50 and 3 for $60. It’s cost efficient to buy in bulk because it significantly reduces our shipping expense. Also remember if you buy a book – 102 Dachshunds, you get a T-shirt of your choice for FREE while supplies last. We can only do what we do via your support.
Today’s coveted spot goes to the newest member of our pack: Lily. I think Lily looks a little like our smooth dachshund DOGS T-shirt model Frankie. Lily is a quick study and is taking after her big sister Emily. My two girls are very vocal – especially compared to Rufus. Enjoy the photos and thanks in advance for the continued support. We love you all and wish everyone a great day.

Emily is a barker. She barks when she’s happy; she barks when she’s scared; she barks when she wants to play; and she barks when she is meeting someone new. The barking can be slightly agitating for me personally, but I often try to understand the reason behind the bark. She barks at the back door when she needs to go outside, she barks at the water bowl when she is thirsty and it’s empty. The one time where I just let her bark to her heart’s content is at the dog parks. It never last more a minute or two (at any given time), but she loves to bark at the big dogs opposite the chain-link fence. Her bark does not appear to be mean; it’s not a growl with a lot of teeth and foam, but I imagine her barks are more of a dachshund dialogue. With my active imagination I often speculate that she’s questioning why the dog’s legs are so unusually long. Or if it’s a pretty dog with a nice full and fluffy coat, I imagine Emily is offering her praise. For this particular dog in the photographs, I imagine Emily is asking, “Where did you get that collar?! The colors really suit you.” What do you think she is saying?! Does you dachshund bark!?
