In 1997 I hugged the man I wound up marrying two years later, for the first time. It felt like I was coming home and we've been inseparable since. Our relationship is NOTHING like I imagined as a kid - it's 1000% better in so many ways.

One of the good things about rescuing #seniordogs was avoiding this phase.

Snow is unusual in our neck of the woods. This is exactly how far Lexi got today before she turned around and said “Nope!” #Dachshunds #DogsOfBlueSky #RescueDogs #SeniorDogs

Every #dachshund owner can relate. The windows in our house are all close to the ground so we know when leaves blow across the lawn thanks to our biological alarm system. #dogsofbluesky #rescuedogs #seniordogs

This truly caused me to laugh right out loud.

This is me to a “T”. Hubby and I pre-plan how long we have to stay before we walk into any party.

Lexi woke up from a nap today, barking furiously at the front door… from under her covers. We have no idea what sent her from snores to barks in .42 milliseconds, but because #dachshunds, Monet joined in the chorus, offering moral support. #rescuedogs #seniordogs #dogsofbluesky #dogs

I don’t care. I HAVE to be next to my Mama.

Our dishwasher broke today. Washing a full load of dishes by hand did not leave me laughing. Not even close.

A must read. After the election hubby and I started talking about the need for a gun. Neither of us have ever wanted to own one but like I told him, “Who knows when sporting blue hair could make me a target and let’s not forget you’re Jewish.” This 🧵 and article within confirm those fears.

Adorable and not only because that’s a #dachshund! P.S. kids aren’t the only ones who benefit from this kind of love. We don’t deserve our pets.

This.

This was a valuable lesson I learned after years of trying to be someone I wasn’t. And it was only after I accepted who I was that I met @rgoldin.bsky.social, my now husband of 25 years. Who, by the way, loves me because of my emotions, not in spite of them.

Any FarSide fans here? It’s been my favorite comic since the 80’s. Gary Larson is beyond genius. Moving some things around and found this. It was a gift from my Mom in 2001.

#dachshunds front porch dissected. 1. Welcome mat with obligatory wiener reference. Bonus seeing it out of place due to diggers. 2. Boxes in the windows in a vain attempt to deter barking. 3. AstroTurf under the eaves because pees can only be performed on grass, but not when it’s raining.

Christmas wore Lexi out. #dogsofbluesky #dachshunds #rescuedogs #seniordogs

Our two girls got new sweaters this year! #dachshunds #dogsofbluesky #rescuedogs #seniordogs

We’re hosting Christmas for the first time, this year. It’s been 30+ years since I haven’t had to leave the house on Christmas. Tonight I realized what that means… I can spend the entire day in my pajamas!! This might wind up being the best Christmas ever!

Feels absolutely necessary this year.
