The Puppies Have Arrived!!!!

 

The puppies made their grand entrance yesterday morning!  Three of them!!  A red girl, her brother -also red & another brother...a tan & chocolate pie bald!!  They are healthy & doing well!

Now....there is a chance the pie boy....if deemed show quality at his eight week evaluation...he won't be placed in a companion home!  *insert my sad face*.

I've inquired if we could be considered for the red girl (would also happily accept either boy or girl).  Since Mama Dachshund is co-owned (two breeders have rightful ownership - giving both access to the pups)....our breeder will confirm if she is available.  I haven't heard any further updates...hoping photos will soon be available....

Oh...I don't want to get our hopes up....if it is meant to be....it will happen for us!   Paws crossed!!

A Brand New Year!!!

 

It's good to be back!  I'm hoping everyone had a beautiful Christmas....and belated Happy New Year!!  We had another wonderful Christmas...we enjoyed Christmas Eve with munchies & exchanging gifts with daughter & family....as always we recieved too much!  One piece I was gifted was this beautiful cardigan...in the softest & prettiest colour....

Along with fleece lined black leggings....so warm & comfortable!  And gift cards!!  I love giving & receiving them.!  We thoroughly enjoyed celebrating Christmas Eve.....followed by a delicious dinner with all the fixins' at daughter's house on Christmas Day!  New Year's Eve we enjoyed pizza & garlic fingers & rang in the New Year before granddaughters bed time!!

One item Mr. Seventies gifted me was a rechargeable hand vacuum....I love this thing!  So handy for those small clean ups when I don't want to bring out the big vacuum!  It's so handy sitting on the charger in the kitchen...

Did anyone take in the after Christmas sales?  I went out for an afternoon of shopping.....picked up a couple of things......this adorable doxie cushion at Winners...(also available at Home Sense)....

And....how cute is this dachshund candle?  It looks great on the mantle opposite to the one in white....

While not purchased locally...this beautiful cookie jar was an Ebay find!!   And why yes....I did order one.....I'll share when it arrives!

These Christmas kitchen towels were on clearance at Wal Mart....for $3.99!   I tucked them away until next Christmas.  We only just took our tree down on Saturday....I could have enjoyed it longer....but it was time to pack it up & put away....doesn't the house feel empty when all the decorations are gone?

While in Home Sense....I came across this adorable piece...yes it's a chair for a toddler.....but it would make the most cutest dog bed!   Right??  Even Mr. Seventies agreed!  

I only saw two issues that prevented me from bringing it home.....while it's adorable....it's also "chewable"....and we know how puppies love to chew!   So that and how on earth could this be laundered?  Getting it washed & dried would be a huge issue!   If he can't be easily washed & dried....it's not a good idea....but I wanted to get it!!

We are calling 2026 the year of the dachshund!  Our breeder advised our pup's Mama is due January 10, 2026!!!  (calculated from when she was bred).   As with any expectant mother....that is an approximate date.... we're sitting on pins & needles until the puppies arrive safe & sound....(little excited)......

I have a set of five of this exact reindeer mugs!  This one at Home Sense was marked down to $4....I now have a set of six!!

Our weather has turned really cold....with bone chilling windchill temps....I am so not a fan of the cold!  I have to dress in layers in an attempt to keep warm!  

Please join me later today over at https://betweennapsontheporch.net/ for Metamorphosis Monday and again tomorrow at https://www.myslicesoflife.com/ for Talking About It Tuesdays!

Thanks so much for spending time with me....so much to look forward to in 2026!!  

Til next time.....
