In the beginning...... --Lorina

We have had some recent changes to our family in relation to the dogs and I was wondering how to let people know that may be interested.  We decided to create a blog and link it to our site (if I can figure out how...).

We recently decided to get into helping people find homes for doxies that needed to be re-homed.  Our first endeavour was either a success or failure depending on your point of view.   

We were contacted by a lovely family that had two miniature dachshunds that needed a new home.  They were moving to a "No dogs allowed" place.  The two dogs were a beautiful Isabella female and a chubby black and tan male.  The female had been purchased for breeding but had never been bred.  We were very excited at the prospect of adding her to our home and program.  She has great conformation and a nice pedigree, as well as an amazing coat which is uncommon on an Isabella. 

Then there was the black and tan neutered male.  I thought that we would quickly find him a home, after all, what would I need a neutered male?  We met after driving several hundred miles each and the exchange was made.  I brought the dogs home and got in late.  They were scared and barked most of the night.


The next morning I introduced them to the family.  My 3 year old looked at Bristol (the B&T male) and exclaimed, "You found him!"  "You found Mr. Weenie!"  He was referring to the children's movie Open Season in which a large, middle aged woman looks all over the woods for her lost (ran away form her) black and tan chubby male dachshund.
My 18 year old daughter that does not really care for dogs much fell in love, and my 16 year old son said he was "the most awesome dog!"

So in my quest to find Bristol (who is now called Mr. Weenie no matter how I try to correct everyone) a great loving home, I failed.  But did I?  Yes he is staying with us and I think he is happy!  And the Issy girl is so sweet as well.  I will post on her later....
