But don't worry, he was curled in a ball in the road and so had just went under the carriage of the car. The driver then stopped picked him up and took him to the [keep reading...]
Golden retriever-dachshund?
Golden retriever-dachshund mix makes us do a double take I saw this new article and I thought you would all enjoy the photo. You've got to wonder how this happened: "You've got a lot of confidence for a dog your size. I like that," a golden retriever said flirtatiously to a dachshund. "Well, today's your lucky day, because I've got a thing for tall blondes," the dachshund replied with a roguish wink. After a few dates in the park, a coy game of tug and war, the love of a lifetime blossomed between the fetching couple, and along came this [keep reading...]
