Great News!!!

Adopted!!!

Yes, it's true, Zippy has a new home.

Belinda, the MVL reader who first wrote to me to tell me about Zippy and to ask for my help 

in trying to find him a home, wrote me last night to tell me that he has been adopted.

- Big Sigh of Relief -

I've had so many that wrote to ask about him and I wrote Belinda a few days ago inquiring.

I'm so happy he has a home

but there are still millions of shelter dogs that don't.

I wish they all could have Zippy's new good fortune.

I guess this is another dog post. 

Last night a new MVL reader wrote that she too had a silly dachshund.

I went by her blog to see a photo of her dog and oh my she has a doozy of a story about her little

one.

Go to the blog of

just click on the banner above.

to read about silly Freyja

Her story is typical of what a dachshund would decide to do in unusual circumstances.

They make decisions for themselves but not always the best decisions.

Violet 

"The Not So Mean Queen"

After talking yesterday about how bossy Violet is...I started to feel bad.

She just knows what she wants and when she wants it and demands that she get it.

It works for her....she does get what she wants.

Today she sat at the baby gate and talked to me while I painted.

She growled in a low throated growl trying to tell me something.

I don't know what. It was raining today so she didn't want to go out as much.

How frustrating for her that I don't speak her language.
