Today a couple guys came to clean the dryer vents and fireplace. Kody barely responded to the knock at the door. I set up the fence and let them in. Kody barked twice and then whined a little for attention. I was able to cut up some hot dogs and talk to the guys and [...]

This started off as a great story about some of the unique, persistent, and sometimes even frustrating qualities of dachshund guardianship and then it ended up someplace I hadn’t expected. Whether you believe in God, spirituality, or the flying spaghetti monster, I think we all feel the same way about our dachshunds. They bring events [...]
