DOC AS A BABY
THIS SPACE IS DEDICATED TO OUR BELOVED COMPANION SPARKY, OUR 11 1/2 YEAR OLD DACHSHUND WHO HAD TO BE PUT TO SLEEP ON OCTOBER 9, 2006. SPARKY HAD A DISC PROBLEM IN HIS NECK THAT WAS NOT ABLE TO BE FIXED. HE WAS THE MOST LOYAL OF OUR 3 DACHSHUNDS WE HAVE HAD OVER 39 YEARS. THIS IS A PICTURE OF OUR NEW LITTLE AKC MINIATURE RED DACHSHUND, DOC. THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN AS WE PICKED HIM UP ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2006, AT A WHOPPING 2.5 POUNDS FROM THE KENNEL OF MARSHA DOAN IN TERRE HAUTE, A MINIATURE DACHSHUND BREEDER. HE CAN NEVER REPLACE NIBBLES (8 YEARS OLD WHEN SHE DIED), ROCKY (16 1/2 YEARS OLD WHEN HE DIED), OR SPARKY (11 1/2 YEARS OLD WHEN HE DIED), BUT HE WILL TAKE A SPECIAL PLACE IN OUR HEARTS AS HE GROWS UP. HE WAS 2.5 POUNDS WHEN WE PICKED HIM UP AND 7 WEEKS OLD, AND AS MRS. DOAN SAYS ON HER WEBSITE, HE'S "A HALF DOG HIGH, AND A DOG AND A HALF LONG".

DOC'S DADDY DANNY
DOC'S 1ST BIRTHDAY 8/21/07...BEGGING AS USUAL!!!
A "DOC" UPDATE ON THIS THURSDAY, JANUARY, 21, 2010..... DOC IS NOW 3 YEARS AND 5 MONTHS OLD AND WEIGHS 10 POUNDS. HOW DID HE CELEBRATE HIS 3 YEAR OLD BIRTHDAY ON AUGUST 21, 2009? OBVIOUSLY, HE HAD A BIRTHDAY CAKE WITH CREAMY ICING, ICE CREAM, AND PLENTY OF HIS FAVORITE BONES TO LET HIM KNOW THAT THIS WAS HIS SPECIAL DAY!!! HE HAS BECOME A BEAUTIFUL MATURE DACHSHUND WHO LOVES TO HAVE HIS BELLY RUBBED THE MOMENT YOU ENTER THE HOUSE (NOTICE HIS EXTREMELY SHINY COAT!). HE AUTOMATICALLY ROLLS OVER TO ALLOW YOU TO RUB HIS BELLY FOR A LONG TIME. HE IS TRULY A "MOOCHER" WHO BEGS FOR US TO THROW HIM WHATEVER WE ARE EATING AT THE MOMENT. HE LOVES TO STAND ON HIS HIND HAUNCHES FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES TO GET SOME FOOD FROM US AT MEAL TIME. HE LIKES TO PLAY WITH HIS RUBBER TIRE, FOOTBALL, PACIFIER, AND ROPE. HE ALSO IS A "COUCH POTATO" WHO LOVES TO STRETCH OUT TO HIS FULL LENGTH ON HIS BACK AND GO TO SLEEP. HE IS, BY FAR, THE LONGEST OF OUR 4 DACHSHUNDS. MANY TIMES THIS FINDS BOTH HIS FRONT HALF AND HIS BACK HALF DANGLING OVER THE SIDES OF OUR LAP WHILE HE SLEEPS. HE TRULY IS ONE OF OUR BEST DACHSHUNDS OF ALL TIME. THANKS, MRS. DOAN, FOR ALLOWING US TO HAVE THIS LITTLE BUNDLE OF JOY AND HAPPINESS FROM DANNY AND RIZO'S LITTER!
NOTE: DOC HAD A BIG 3RD BIRTHDAY BASH ON AUGUST 21, 2009, WITH OUR LONGHAIRED DACHSHUND #5 MISS MOLLY MAE CINCO AND WITH BOOMER, LEO, AND CISCO, HIS 3 SCHITSU BUDDIES NEXT DOOR, COMING OVER FOR TREATS! MORE PICTURES AND NOTES OF OUR BELOVED DOC ARE UPCOMING!!!!
