My Auction Wins

A dachshund rescue group held an online auction recently.....and I was the highest bidder on three items....(all for great prices)....this beautiful, handmade snuggle sak with no reserve bid.....for $20!   These normally sell for $40 & up....gorgeous soft fabric & a generous size.....

This was Liesel's snuggle sak....not used as she was not a burrower.....most dachshunds are....our Schatzi loved to crawl to the bottom of hers & snooze for hours....Liesel not so much....for some reason I kept it.....

This adorable hot water bottle cover is also another win.....and will be arriving any day....so cute....

Along with this felted tree ornament....can't wait to hang it on the tree...

I was happy to help out the fundraising online event...the group shared they raised around $1,700....money to help vet dogs in their care....

I'm dipping my toe back into the dachshund rescue world....not as a foster home....but there is so much "behind the scenes" help needed....calling references, home visits for potential adopters, fundraising and assisting with transports of dachshunds to get where they need to go.....whether to a foster home, vet visit or the Atlantic Veterinary Hospital for care....

I chose not to foster this time around....(having fostered a number of dachshunds in recent years).....that may change down the road.....but we will be busy in 2026 with our new arrival...puppy & obedience classes, house training & getting our pup settled in.....we may visit fostering again.

I was a previous "foster fail".....needing to adopt our last foster dog.   It happens to pretty much to most who foster...there will be that one dog that comes in ...  Xena our first wirehair was eight years old when we came to foster her.....and she never left.

Having fostered many dachshunds before her.... sending them on their way to their new homes....once Xena arrived....we were then a three dachshund home!  

I wouldn't take back any of my rescue & foster experiences..... this time around I'll be happy to help out behind the scenes. 

We didn't get as much snow as forecasted on Monday....still a messy, windy day!  The next few days look milder....with no storms lurking about....

I greatly appreciate you spending your time with me....

Til next time....
