A COUPLE OF 5 WEEK OLD BABIES EVEN CAME BY TO SAY HELLO. Anyway, see you when I get back!  Hello Everybody!! Say Hello to Bryant. THIS LITTLE GUY IS ONLY 6 MONTHS OLD. He has blue eyes, smiles a lot. AND LOVES EATING HIS FEET. What a great little guy huh? Don't you just LOVE THOSE FEET. I AM DEFINITELY A FOOT PERSON MYSELF. YOU SHOULD SEE ME CHASING MY MAMA ACROSS THE FLOOR LICKING HER FEET. WHAT A HOUND!   Bryant's grammy is Leslie and she works at the Mont Vernon P.O.

And to think it all started when MY MAMA LIVED IN GERMANY AND GOT HER VERY FIRST, AND ONLY WIENER DOG. Her name was TINA PUP and she was a wire haired dachshund. HOW VERY COOL.  vetstreet.com I love this picture because the first doxie is long haired, just like me and the same colors. Tina Pup the wire haired had colors like this little guy in the middle above. Finally our Stoney Wall was black and tan short haired like this guy at the end.

Dharma Dharma  Hey friends, if your from Maine, come by AND SAY HELLO!! https://www.mainewienerfest.com/ LOVE, DHARMA DHARMA   Friends click: www.dharmadoxie.com Hello Everybody. What is it about people and their pets and movie characters? Anyone who saw the Game of Thrones know all about the tragedy of John Snow. Could of been the king of the castle but instead "did the right thing" and saved the world. Here is John Snow, rescue kitty living with his Papa's Jeff and Travis. John Snow is sitting on his own "Game of Thrones". Papa Jeff says that he loves finding boxes and making them his thrones. I guess he has had a happier life than our television character. Anyway, John Snow was a rescue kitty from Papa Jeff's vet and found a good home down there in Virginia. He has one kitty brother Jason Morgan. You can see him comfortably sitting by his ol pal Yoshi the dog. Yoshi is a Shiba Inu, a dog breed from Japan. It looks like Yoshi and John Snow like being couch potatoes together. My, I remember my days with old Stoney Wall. We were champions at being couch potatoes.  Thank you Papa Jeff for sending John Snow's bio along. And thank you everyone for checking in. Love, Dharma Dharma   Friends Click: www.dharmadoxie.com HELLO EVERYBODY. FOR A DOG LOVER NOTHING, AND I MEAN NOTHING IS BETTER THAN GETTING LICKED BY THOSE CANINE DUDES AND DUDETTES THAT LIVE WITH THEM. Last year in November the SOMMESE FAMILY got into our trailer, Me and Bro Merlin and My Papa and My Mama went to visit Cousin Drogo and his mama and papa. DON'T YOU LOVE THIS PICTURE OF PAPA CONRAD AND DROGO? DOGGIE LOVE, FOR SURE. Papa Conrad was just taking a break from making a bathing tank for Drogo in their laundry room. Just found the pictures wanted to share.
It just kinda hits me sometimes about how our lives can be marked, time can be marked by the adventures WE (dogs) have with our people families. That trip, all the way to South Carolina was the very last trip with my brother Merlin. And it was the first time I met cousin Drogo. SWEET!! Thank you everybody for checking in. Mama is writing this story for me, I am draped over mama's ankles and she is swinging me back and forth under the desk, and well, LIFE IS GOOD. VERY GOOD INDEED! Love, Dharma Dharma   Hello Everybody: FB click here to see "THE REST OF THE STORY". www.dharmadoxie.com This is my cousin Drogo! Did I tell you he was named for KHAL DROGO of course from "The Game of Thrones". And boy, does he have the PERSONALITY TO GO WITH HIS NAME! What a character. Anyway, he sent me a story that I want to send along. ENJOY!! Hint, Hint, MY THOUGHTS ARE IN RED!! IT IS REALLY HARD FOR ME NOT TO HAVE A OPINION. MY NEW BROTHER: by Drogo Estes About a month ago, my humans brought a puppy home. They call him Samwise, or SamSam for short. Did you know that Uncle Jeff and Mama named a Christmas tree one year Samwise? I have a mini horse brother Bilbo, a mini goat brother Pippin and a brother cat Frodo at home. I guess you could say we come from a family WHOSE ROOTS GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO MIDDLE EARTH). SamSam is small, but he eats a lot. And he is very fluffy. Mama Heather has given us many toys and we got a new fence! This means I can go chase birds whenever I want to! I am jealous, I want a fenced in yard! OH MY GOSH ISN'T HE FREAKING ADORABLE? I MEAN, YOU CAN'T GET MUCH CUTER THAN HIM.   I am teaching Samwise how to play, go to the bathroom outside, and how to put away our toys. Mama Heather cuddles a lot with Samwise, but that means I get snuggles with Papa Conrad. Lucky dogs. The puppy is teaching me patience and kindness. I wonder how big he will get? And how much of the food he will eat? I miss my brother Merlin and Stony Wall so much! You are so lucky Drogo, you don't even know. Sometimes, Samwise annoys me. But Mama Heather says that I will always be the big brother. Maybe that means he will give me his leftovers? I guess having a brother isn't so bad. Samwise can be my little, fluffy sidekick. Maybe one day we can go on an adventure together. Hey come and visit me and we can all have adventures together! I will teach him about birds, and squirrels,(and chipmunks, oh my!) and how to give me all of his food. You got it cousin. Welcome to the family, Samwise! The End. Of course named after Samwise Gamgee from "The Lord of the Rings". Great picture here of ME, the LITTLE GUY and my MAMA!. Another one of Sam Sam, Mama's toes, and me. Hah!!
 Hello Friends! Click here and scroll down to the BLOG STORIES! www.dharmadoxie.com Hey Kurt over at Hollis Publishing! Thank you from Me and MY MAMA AND MY PAPA for sending this to us. HOW COOL IS THIS? We were at the New England Author's event and everyone had a sign for their publisher and then we thought about Kurt and all of the wonderful folks over there. I mean COME ON, THEY DESERVE RECOGNITION TOO. So I asked Kurt and this is what they sent. THANK YOU KURT! It is a little sign with a stand on the back so it stands up all by itself so that when we TAKE DHARMA DOXIE ON THE ROAD, PEOPLE WILL KNOW WHO DID THE WONDERFUL PRINTING JOB ON THE BOOK! You would not think that it would be such a great thing, IN THE SCOPE OF ALL OF LIFE, but I thought it was cool, AS DID THE OLD FOLKS TOO. So here I am telling you my story while my Mama is listening to LOVE SHACK from the B52's and MY SHARONA From The Knack. Who hoo, we are having a dance party tonight!! Thanks for listening in. Love Dharma Dharma. Face Book Friends click Here and Scroll Down to bottom of HOME PAGE for story!! www.dharmadoxie.com  Hello Everybody!! Oh my goodness, the folks came home singing "Here comes Dharma Doxie!" Papa says it was so great to see all of the kid's again. To hear all of the little kids LEARN THE WORDS TO MY SONG AND SING IT LOUD AND CLEAR. Oh my, oh my, oh my, GO SING IT ON THE MOUNTAIN!! It was so wild he said to hear children singing it in the hallway.  The best part of all of this is that the Title One People gifted EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THE CHILDREN with a soft cover copy of my book. For many of them THIS IS THE VERY FIRST BOOK THAT IS THEIR VERY OWN. THAT ISN'T BAD PARTNER! Mama signed for me, EACH AND EVERY BOOK AND PUT THE STUDENT'S NAME IN IT. I WAS SPEECHLESS WHEN PAPA TOLD ME! And so my Papa and my Mama got to give a HUG FROM ME TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM. HOW FUN! Even little Juan (check out earlier story) came over and gave my Mama a hug. I don't mind Juan, I love hugging her myself. I wish I could have been there but it was just TOO HOT FOR ME. I was home eating "Frosty Paws", doggie ice cream on the couch while I was laying underneath the ceiling fan. NOW THAT IS KEEPING COOL IN THE SUMMERTIME, DON'T YOU THINK?
