Miniature Dachshunds | Chloe | Odie | Molly

Dachshund Rescue Education and Mentoring (DREAM) needs your help. One of the biggest challenges they have today is to place 18 Dachshunds from a retiring breeder in a good home and family.

We would like to help, but we already have three cute Doxies and my wife would just kill me if I got another. But if you’re in the Atlanta area, please contact DREAM.

The Dachshund is a beautiful dog. The short, smooth clean lines and elongated shape is a characteristic that uniquely sets the breed apart from other dogs. You can quickly tell and identify, without question, that a dog is a “wiener dog.”

When Evelyn Morris Hecht approached me with the idea of using Odie as a model for her next Dachshund drawing, what proud parent could refuse?

According to Evelyn, she “would love to show off the fabulous Doxie schnozz at more of an angle as well as great emotion in the eyes.” With Odie’s big schnozz and expressive emotional face, he would made a great model for her drawing.

As you can see for yourself, Evelyn captured the very likeness of Odie and the unique characteristics of the short-haired Miniature Dachshund.

I simply love her drawings and I’m sure that you will too! To see more of Evelyn Morris Hecht’s works of art, please visit her site: Top Dog Art.

Last week our house was painted by Eric Ortlieb, an excellent Thousand Oaks/Westlake Village Painter. His team of painters were in and out of the Doxie’s backyard causing the Dachshunds, especially Odie, to start barking.

Normally, I leave the curtains open, so the three can look outside while we’re working. But with the constant barking, I had to leave the curtains closed.

Since it was impossible to let them out during the day, they we’re pretty much couped up all day long. If I was able to get home during lunchtime, they were able to go for a walk and do their business.

So it was a stressful week for the dogs. But as Eric said, he would keep the paint off the dogs. Now our house looks great, the Doxies are clean, an can now go out and play outside.
