I went to a pet blessing this weekend. Met some wonderful people and Pixel finally got those angel wings of hers blessed. :) Though she thought hiding under my chair was a better option!

Dachshund Winterfest 2015

The Dachshund Winterfest is one of my favorite things to do every January. WeeGee loves to go see his Dachshund buddies since I normally make him hang out with the cocker crew. Here are a few photos from our day.
