Did someone say BBQ?
I don’t think it’s too early to start planning for our picnic in September, do you? I need your help with it. You might know that my human has embroidery machines and can put dachshunds on anything. The stuff we sell as well as our huge raffle makes the picnic a good fundraiser for us.
So, tell me. What fabric item would you like to see ‘dachshundized’ that you would purchase and enjoy? She has lots of blankets and sweatshirts. Do you like a more subtle dachshund or one that is loud and proud? Do you buy gifts for small people, or stuff for yourself? What dachshund items have you bought from ‘other places’ because you just couldn’t resist?
As always, we’ll be looking for donations of unused items for the raffle and we appreciate donations of food and drink. If you can spare a half hour or so, we can always use help at the event because it’s one the people AND dogs like to enjoy so the people organizing it are usually run off their tails.
Personally, I think everything is better with a dachshund on it, or better yet, with MY NAME on it. Hey – she can do blankets with your name on it… maybe that’s an idea she could use – but if you don’t pick yours up and end up costing the rescue money, I’ll bite you.

We would love a blanket to cuddle under that has our names on it …. or perhaps Mommy would enjoy a discrete plain ballcap with a few weiners sewn onto the hat hand … hmmm …. we must plan!
Administrator Said:
I don’t understand why anyone would want to be discrete when it comes to dachshunds, but my person says that sometimes subtle is the way to go. Subtle. Not in my vocabulary.

Grandma from Germany Said:
Mom says hi from Germany. Her and Jovi would like a dachshund t-shirt. Mom would also like a couple of dachshund towels if possible. And she was wondering if she could drop off our wintercoats at the picnic to have our names and phone no. embroidered (Gumbah has managed to lose her coat a bunch of times).
Oscar & Rolo Said:
We would also love a soft cuddly blanket with our name on it. My people would probably also buy something for their nephews ….let us know closer to picnic time
Oscar & Rolo Said:
2 years ago we got wonderful knitted sweaters made especially for dachshunds – will we be able to buy them again this year? Hope so!
Lucy & Ollie Said:
My Mom is making some coffee mugs, book marks and even has a few cheque book covers with doxie’s on it for sale at the picnic. I really like them. She is very crafty. She’s hoping we can come to the picnic too. It would be so nice to see everyone again. Ollie has never been, and I know he’ll have a dash-ing good time.
