And now for some light relief! I figured it had been a while since you saw Moxie and Vinny, and Moxie has really grown. She is so feisty, a real Right-Brain Extrovert. She constantly ambushes Vinny and they play like crazy – she makes noises like a Tasmanian devil! At 6 months old her instincts are starting to kick in and she is tracking critters. Learned it from Vinny, it’s so exciting!
And it’s interesting to see the doganalities. Vinny is Left-Brain Extrovert, he’s all business now that he’s “mature.” He’s always got things to do while Moxie is all about having fun. They are too cute, just love ‘em.
Here are a few snaps I took today. I’ll need to get Coco to take some of them flying around the grass, my little camera just made blurs.

Comparing lengths! She's quite a bit smaller.
Squirrel?

Hi Linda, Thanks for updating us on Vinny and Moxie and for adding photos of them. I don’t know how you get anything done : )) I guess when they are napping?
Yep – they are VERY demanding… because of their cuteness
Linda, I gotta tell ya, I didn’t use to be a big fan of Dachsunds. I love all dogs, but they just didn’t do a whole lot for me…Then I met Vinnie in Virginia this past year. Wow. What a …dogonality!!!! He’s WONDERFUL. I absolutely fell for him and was ready to put him in my pocket and take him home. I have some great pictures of us kissing each other! Moxie has a look on her face that reminds me of my mischevious little girl Eskie pup. Thanks for all you do and all the lessons you provide. On top of everything else, I’ve learned to love Doxies too!
Warmly,
Ronna B.
Linda,
Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful photos of the doxies and for updating us on how they are doing. I love to hear about them and look forward to hearing more doxie tails and news!
Take care.

Oh my! Moxie really has grown! I remember when I first met her and she pretty much fit in your palm. It’s amazing how quickly puppies grow up to be dogs – at least physically!
I’ve had my pup, Riley, for almost eight months now and it’s incredible how much laughter and joy he brings into my life. Every stinkin’ day he entertains me with his enthusiasm. I’m glad you’ve got Vinny and Moxie to do the same for you!
I know! She’s a pistol, wears Vinny out!
Congrats on your position with Horse First Farm

They are too cute. Their heads look like fraggles in that first picture.
Awwwww…. is right! Thanks for sharing your doganality fun and updated pics. Precious times as they grow up.
Linda I am not a fan of little dogs but your 2 have me thinking maybe they are not all yappers and can be fun
Thanks for sharing
Be careful! Hard to only have one

They’re addictive!
Linda – I love Dauchzies and am so tempted to getting one to accompanie my heeler mix Lakota. Thank you for sharing and I can hardly wait to see them and you and Pat next spring. I’m glad you are enjoying their antics. Dogs are so great to make us feel special and loved.
Good call Linda to lighten the tone ! nothing like changing the focus & language to change the state ….Your pups are gorgeous.
I Lovee your doggies Linda! They are too cute for their own good!
awwwwwww – just toooo cute for words
Love them!!! We have two also. Ours are 13 and 14, but still wrestle and play. They have the most wonderful doganalities.
Love my doxies! Thanks for sharing yours.
Liane, I could be entirely wrong here but I’m pretty sure with dogs this sort of color is called “merle,” as in “blue merle” or “red merle.” Sort of the doggy version of a roan.
Hey Mackenzie,thanks for that! Yes,that makes sense-it’s a bit like merle border collies!
They are so cute. I can see how you can fall in love with em! Its great having two dogs together, they sure do keep each other entertained, as well as keeping us amused. Have fun with em! Dawn
They are very cute, they are like potatoe chips so be careful! Never a more loyal friend. Tina
They are so cute! Have their colours/coat patterns got names? I think i’ve heard of colours like salt and pepper-don’t know if this would apply to Moxie and Vinnie though!? Also Linda,i was wondering where the name “Moxie” comes from or if it has a meaning,thanks for posting these pics, Liane XX
Re their colors: Vinny is a chocolate piebald, and Moxie is a black and tan dapple.
And the name Moxie means “spirited”. Pat saw the name as we drove through Santa Fe after picker her up and said that’s what we should name her. It’s perfect!
