This is Topper, formerly known as Mystify Kick. He's a retired racing dog, you can find his career stats online.

I've got him for a month to help with socialisation and learning manners, but I think that he's learning bad habits instead. He does have excellent taste in blankets, though.

Nice blanket @Graeme (doggo's a beauty too). Gifted the same blanket to my son when he went to Japan for 4 months.

Ellie in Venice

A dackel!!

That's one mighty fine and gorgeous hound dog you got there, @Chap! You very obviously have great taste! I've grown up with them, but have never had a long hair. I hear they're the sweetest.

I recently lost my best friend/fellow life traveler/partner eight weeks ago this coming Saturday, but I digress...

He was a wire hair and a whirling dervish of insanity (in the best possible way, of course)

[Chap]

So sorry about your loss @nonikes that's the sad part about having a dog. Dachshund is a great breed although they are very special. Ellie is not very friendly with strangers I really love wire hairs, beautyfull dog you had

@nonikes sorry to hear of your loss. I have lost two doggos in the past year. Hope you are and your family are doing OK.

5 cats here, and an inexplicable shot of a cart filled with CBD drinks. Enjoy!

The mom,June, is the tuxedo in the second pic. All of her babies look unique. All 4 of the younger ones were born on my bed 2 years ago.

We had 7 cats, but 2 of our old girls passed away in the last 6 months.

Wiley, the striped boy on the right in the first pic is a polydactyl or Hemingway cat, a total of 15 front toes. Rare, but found most commonly in the US Southeast, where I am.

Mama June and Aria. Aria literally gets in the shower on the bench and takes a full on shower with us. Gets drenched. Obsessed with water.

That genuinely (genuinely) means a lot dudes, @Chap and @Oaktavia. Gotta admit, it's been a slog, as I'm sure it's been for you too, @Oaktavia, and I'm very sorry to hear about your losses. Losing one's shit enough, but two!?! holy smokes.

They're in my thoughts (fwiw)

[Oaktavia]

@nonikes it is super tough. Just shows how much love we pour into our pets.

[EdH]

@nonikes Sorry for your loss, he looks like he was a gnarly little dude.

Oh yes. Ellie is suffering from IVDD, she had two slipped discs and two surgeries last year. It's been a though time for her (and us...!)

[Oaktavia]

@Chap oh geez! She doing OK now? Glad you were able to get her some PT.

Thanks, yes she ist fine. She can walk again, almost like before. Yes lots of physio, still once a week. Big part of the success.

[Oaktavia]

@Chap Thanks for sharing a positive success story! I did not know I needed to hear that.

[nonikes]

@Chap Oh, no, poor Ellie! as I'm sure you know all too well, back issues are doxie's biggest bug-a-boo.

otherwise, they're mostly prefect. Very glad to hear she's on the mend. Nothing's worse than a suffering pet/animal.

[nonikes]

@EdH Thanks dude, the sentiment's much appreciated. Doggy H, btw, is quite the cutey!!

[Graeme]

@Chap thanks. Ellie looks a good hound too, even if her legs are somewhat shorter than Topper's! I hope that she recovers soon.

@nonikes I'm sorry to hear about your loss.

@nonikes brutal man. Those hairy bastards are the best thing on Earth. Those eyes will never fail to drive right to the heart. Wish you well buddy.

Quite a rare sight to be able to get a pic of Peggy either not digging or jumping all over Bella
