| HOW GOD MADE DACHSHUNDS God made a little Dachsie To brighten up our day. He took a bit of sunshine Laughter, love, and play. And rolled it up in a sausage shape Just right for a hug, With bright eyes full of mischief Set in its little mug. With little paws a pattering, To take it here and there, And a cold wet nose, but then He thought, "Oh, what about the hair? Shall I make it long and silky, Or wiry, that's so sweet, Or make it simple, and have it smooth And satiny and neat? And what about the color? How can I pick just one? Shall it be black, or red, or brown Or dappled, just for fun?" He pondered while He made the world, And all creatures great and small And then the answer came to Him "OF COURSE! I'll make them ALL!!" So remember that a Dachshund Is special, from above - His coat of many colors Is a sign of God's great Love. By Julie Wrigley Smith |
| IN LOVING MEMORY OF MAX THE FIRST BORN 1/27/04 - DIED 3/15/04 MAX DIED FROM THE DEADLY DISEASE, PARVO, BEFORE HE COULD JOIN OUR FAMILY. HIS MEMORY WILL LIVE ON THROUGH HIS BROTHER, MAX-A-MILLION. |
| MAX AND AMBER'S STORY Max and Amber have just started their new lives with us. At the time this story was written, they had only been with us a few days. Max is a stocky little guy. At only 9 weeks of age, he weighs in at just over 3 pounds. Max has one blue eye and one brown eye, which makes him unique. His chocolate and tan dappling really stands out giving him a look all his own. Max really enjoys roughhousing with the boys. He and Rusty have become good friends and enjoy a good wrestling match. He acts very different when playing with his sister, Amber. Amber can knock him over with one push. He'll just lay on his back and kick his feet in the air while she chews on his ears. I do believe he is a real gentleman when he allows his sister to play "fight" games with him and come out the winner. Amber is a very tiny little girl. She weighs 1 ½ pounds at 9 weeks of age. Amber is a Parvo survivor. She became ill shortly after her other 2 brothers died, but managed to beat the odds and recover completely. She may be pint-sized but she is very feisty. When she makes demands, she expects her needs to be attended to immediately, if not before. I am looking forward to spending many happy years with Max and Amber, watching them grow up and encounter many new experiences along the way. I will be tucking away memories that will stay within my heart forever. New pictures will be added to Max and Amber's page on a regular basis as they mature. I would like to invite you to check back often. |
