Holly pointed out to me that I used the same photo of Quig that she used a few posts back. Sorry for the duplication. But she really is that goofy and cute, and I just felt like showing everyone. Quig is the perfect dog if you're sick. She is low maintenance-just needs to run outside for a bit several times each day. She is really good at running the squirrels off the bird feeders so that I can enjoy my pair of woodpeckers, gold finches, bluebirds, and purple finches, as she did yesterday. She loves rolling around the carpet on her back to scratch just that special part between her shoulder blades. There is nothing sillier looking than a dachshund, except a dachshund upside down. Those little 4 inch legs extending into the air as they shift from scratching one shoulder blade after the other- now that is a sight.
Everyday after my clinic appt, I come home and take a 2 hr nap. She waits for me to get all cozy with my breast cancer quilt wrapped around me (this is the quilt my former clinic co-workers made for me while I was having chemo the first time), and then she jumps up on the bed so that we can nap, back to back. It feels great to that have that little warm chimichanga beside me, and she never wakes up before I do. It is heavenly.
Anyone looking for a dog should consider a dachshund. They are so low maintenance and goofy. It really is like having your own cartoon going on in your life. They take themselves so seriously and have no earthly idea they are so short. But they are not obnoxious in any way. One of my pals asked where Quigley's voice was in the Blog. Not sure, but this is my homage to her and the uplift she gives me everyday.
