I have been sifting through thousands and thousands of photos that I have stored on my ever growing hard-drive and disk collection of all my photograph backups, while I get my images ready to update this site, and came across this photo, which I shot of my now 5 month old Mini Daschund, Troy, shortly after we got him.
Troy is “my” little boy and has a fondness for me that is hard to understand, where as Maxx (our Mini Yorkie), is more Jane’s little boy. Troy has the coolest nature I have ever come across in any dog. He will happily sit on the backrest of the couch and just stare at me while I cook dinner, or while I sit outside, and is ALWAYS happy to see me when I get home, even if I went out for 1 minute to fetch the post.
With things being a bit rough and unstable at the moment, as they always tend to be around this time of year, he is my is my little knight in shining armor and pushes me to keep trying and to never give up. No matter how tough things are, he never is unhappy, well maybe when we go out, but there is a lesson to be learned in this I am sure.
Thank you Troy.

Ag he is so nunu! Love my dogs – even when they whisper bark inside the house at the cats taking over our garden slowly!

Ha! Our miniature dachshuds are always on the backrest or armrest of the couch, and they rest their butts on your shoulder if you happen to be sitting down. They’re like parrots that way.
