Mikkey and the Balloons (Hot Air Type!)

The whole family went out to a local Balloon Stampede last weekend and Mikkey was allowed to join in on the fun.  (We were told later that when they fill the gas tanks for the balloons that it can hurt dogs ears - luckily that didn’t happen - but Mikkey will not join us on [...]

Do Dachshunds Like Hard Cider?

There was a great deal of excitement today as the wild doxies had visitors!  Weasel has done some web related work for the folks at Blue Mountain Cider and they dropped by to ask a few questions.  Mikkey acted like he would like to learn more about hard cider - maybe even try some - but it [...]

A doxie letter to God

TO: GOD
