Dear Blogville,
We the Dachsies With Moxie (Chip and Tasha) have a
wonderful announcement! Yes, you
guessed- WHN and Dad have failed yet again at being foster parents and we wish
to welcome His Snoopyness into the DWM pack officially!
Snoopy has thrived under Chip's tutelage and has
warmed Tasha's heart, and has become Dad's BDF (Best Dachshund Furever). He protects WHN while Dad is at work and
keeps us on our toes. He is very
protective of his pack and his home, and does NOT like other peeps very much. (He is NOT a biter but a very persistent
barker) The mail man fears him as does
the UPS man. Squirrels shudder as he
passes by. This is probably due to his
background and we are working very hard at changing that for him and it will
take a great deal of time. He is
currently enrolled in the beginner training class at PetSmart but he already
knows that he has to repeat it- his anxiety is such that he barks the entire
class and heeds the pawrents, but not the teacher. He is making great
improvements that are easily seen each week, but his anxiety is such that he
gets spooked too easily by shadows and off he goes on a barking tear. At night, he and Chip sleep together in the
Big Bed, guarding WHN from all enemies foreign and domestic, and he takes his
duties at Dachshund Security, LLC seriously.
His allergies are under control, but all we need to find now is a
training treat that will not make him sick to his stomach or cause an allergic
reaction.
As Blogville is aware, we had to leave our home in Ohio
and move to St Louis when Dad was hired by the MetroLink rail system. While we have lived here for almost six
months, the house in Ohio remains unsold, and we are paying rent and utilities
here in Missouri and the mortgage and utiities in Ohio. As such, WHN and Dad are having trouble
coming up with the 275.00 needed for Snoopy's adoption fees and we are asking
Blogville for help.
WHN is going to sponsor a raffle for an original
Frankie Furter quilt, 45 x 45 inches in size, colors of your choosing and of
course with a portrait of the winning Blogville resident on it. Tickets will be 2.00 a piece, or six for ten
dollars, via PayPal or the Chipin on the blog.
IF you prefer to send check, money order or cash, please email WHN at
DachsiesWithMoxieMama AT gmail DOT com with the relevant info.
The raffle will run from March 1st
through March 15th, with our beloved former Mayor, Frankie Furter Price,
drawing the winner's name on the 17th of March. The quilt will be sent to the winner by the
end of April.
IF the raffle raises more money than is needed to
pay Snoopy's adoption fees, the remaining funds will be donated to DRNA,
Dachshund Rescue of North America. DRNA
has been a source of great joy in our lives- Ginger, Chip, Thai, Tasha and
Snoopy have all come into our lives from this rescue, and we know that we are
the rescuees, not the dachshunds.
