The downsides of vet office work...

Today a greyhound came in as a drop off for x-rays. He didn't leave again, unfortunately, after they found tumors and masses in several places throughout his body. He was 13.


His name was Eli.

Why oh why was the first PTS I'd ever seen a greyhound :'(.

16-Year-Old Dachshund Severely Injured by Bird of Prey

Poor 'Tara,' - as if life isn't tough enough when you're 16-years-old, getting spooked by fireworks and attacked by a bird of prey certainly can't make things any easier.  We're hoping for a quick recovery for the pretty Riverview, Florida girl.   See several photos at WTSP.com.

Dachshund Beautiful

As we perused the pages of the July/August House Beautiful magazine, we were excited to find that it's the Dachshund details that make a house a beautiful home.  In her 1929 bungalow in Brentwood, California, designer and Dachshund Lover Chris Barrett brings airy sophistication to Spanish Colonial architecture.  Above, floor-to-ceiling bookcases give depth to the dining room-office-library; artfully arranged objects on the shelves engage the eye.  A Danish Baroque desk doubles as a dining table and a hangout for Dachshund 'Frankie.'

Eden climbing roses soften the terra-cotta front porch as a vintage iron Dachshund foot scraper welcomes visitors.

In a sunlit end of the living room, a rosewood Tansu chest with gold paper-covered sliders is a visual anchor - and provides a touch of glamour to display a striking Dachshund print.

And finally, an Ikea flokati on the 1950s lounger by the living room fireplace is a plush perch for 'Bob.'
