Is that clickbait or do you just have a dirty mind!?

Come on, get your brain out of the gutter and let me explain…

We always refer to our dachshund as a wiener dog. I didn’t know what love was until I was face to face with my little girl.

Wendy the wiener dog

How could you not love this face?

Two-month-old Wendy by Author

My vertically challenged, short-legged, floppy-eared little girl came into my life 12 years ago. From the start, she’s been as sweet as pie.

Never vicious yet never a dull moment. When she hops around, running with her ears flapping in the wind, my heart melts even more.

She thinks she’s a big dog. Maybe a Labrador or a Rottweiler because her badass bark tells me so.

My little born-to-be badger hunter burrows under my covers at night, getting warm right beside me.

When she comes out, her sweet little puppy dog eyes tell me that she loves me the most.
