Snootsy is a 15 years old Weiner dog, aka a Dachshund.

This is his favorite position and location. It’s an old couch, in the living room, that his owners want to replace but can’t. That’s Snootsy’s favorite spot. That’s where he “retires” when he’s stressed.

And yes, his life can be stressful, the “awful” cat, Ozzie, is …

Many dogs love water. From the Duck Trolling Retriever to the Labrador passing through the Newfoundlander and the all the other retrievers. These are dogs built for the water.

Ripley, the King Charles Spaniel, is sacrificing himself to be petted by a stranger. It’s not too much of a sacrifice since for him, he’s going up the “totem pole”.
