The Doxiteers - New Blogger Alert!

Today we are happy to introduce yourselves to the Doxiteers!

Charlie Brown, "he's a clown" - adopted 11/2009; wants to be hugged and loved so was deemed too needy and discarded; Charlie is very comical, the only male who may actually come when called ; He is the Alpha male but he & Rudy take turns every evening on my husband's lap, being petted and rubbed and each will howl if the other's time-limit has been exceeded; he's a clever, happy, chuckle-fest with feet; Charlie is 7+ years old;

Rudy Toots - adopted 11/2009; was described to me as "snarky" because he has little growling temper tantrums and needs time-outs; Rudy can also be loving, gentle and very tolerant of any other doxies brought into his home; Rudy believes breathing = barking and enjoys banshee howling in a trance-like state, his nose angled to the sky; he adores squeaky tennis balls & will chase them all over the yard if thrown - however, returning the balls is not in his repertoire as he fails to understand the point; Rudy is 6+ years old;


Rudy

Solly, aka Solly No Teeth - adopted 11/2009, is a black & white longhair mini piebald approx. 10-11 yrs old; he developed colitis from abandonment & had his few teeth extracted; new meds revived him and he has become quite the character; though he's still skittish, he fears no other dog (the defiant doxie attitude); Solly LOVES "his" sofa and protects his area like a commando trying to average 20-22 hours of safety-zone snoozes per day, in/outside, weather permitting [this also determines if he dines al fresco or on his sofa]; he is puppy and sofa-potato in one fuzzy bundle.


Solly

Dora Lee Scarlett, adopted 7/2010 from a puppy mill in MO after 4+ years in a horrible cage! Now she spends her days desperately trying to make up for never having grass to roll in, or dirt to dig huge holes in, or space to explore, and by chasing every bird, squirrel, chipmunk, wild turkey and deer; Dora Lee awakens each morning smiling and wagging her tail; Dora Lee is a sweetheart yet a cunning huntress; she loves to dig and catch mice and will tote them into the house for a tasty snack if not discovered! Dora is 6+ yrs old;

Henry the Humble, our most recent adoption 4/2011, is a dachshund/spaniel mix who has visual and auditory problems and is approx. 10 yrs old; Henry was 1/2 hour from being murdered when rescued in SC ; Henry now quietly lives just to rest his head by your feet and/or to eat! He follows his little cousin doxies outside and up/down his ramp to the yard, happy just to still be loved. Henry has Senior status and leaves the barking and chasing and howling to the younger generation - Henry is a sweet, gentle soul....

Our other furry angel dachshunds have crossed the Rainbow Bridge but we'll include their stories and wienerful lives in future blogs - they were all AMAZING and are terribly missed.....
