100 Things: no. 77

2.07.2011

77. Get a dachshund and name him Boo Radley: I finally got my little dachshund in May of 2008. He, Boo Radley, is a March baby, just like me. When he came home he was only 3lbs and I could pick him up with one hand. He was supposed to be a mini dachshund, but he's not. He's a big boy. Not fat, just big! I adore him.

Boo is the sweetest dog. I always tell him he's the "best brown dog ever" because my family also had a beautiful white Bichon, named Murphy- seen in some pictures above. Murphy was definitely the best white fluffy dog. Love him.

Now that I work from home, Boo keeps me company all day. We walk to the post office together which usually takes forever although it's only 2 blocks away. He likes to stop and smell everything (dachshunds are scent hounds.)

We'll be leaving for the post office soon actually. So far it looks like the groundhog was correct in saying that Spring is coming. It looks nice outside, I hope the sun stays until next winter.

  4. I love the feel of the very last photo in this set... so ethereal. Looking at it feels like a childhood memory of the family dog we had while I was growing up.

    Thanks for inspiring such a sweet trip down memory lane. Glad you're enjoying making memories of your own with such your adorable little fur-ball.
