Heidi, the Dog of the Day
Name: Heidi
Age: Six years old
Gender: Female Breed: Longhaired Miniature Dachshund
Home: Dowling, Michigan, USA
 
   This is my princess Heidi. She is most precious to me and is the quintessential Dachshund. She is very sweet, loving, and smart. Heidi loves to snuggle under blankets (the dachshund way, of course!) and give plenty of kisses. She loves her food (and everyone else's, too!) and knows how to use those beautiful brown eyes! She also is a mighty and fierce hunter!! Her sweet demeanor indoors changes as soon as she is outdoors and her nose clicks into high gear. Watch out if you are a chipmonk! She has been known to chase not only chipmunks, but also rabbits, possums, go underground to find woodchucks and muskrats and even jump in the mucky water for frogs! (She isn't very successful, but loves the hunt anyway) Heidi has made digging an art form, even in the sand at Lake Michigan (in the picture). She loves to play with rocks and will nose them around and dig at them for hours. Swimming is fun too, and if I swim too far out, she will come after me or bark at me from the shore!

    Heidi is cherished by all of her family and even her furry brother and sisters (one brother dachshund and four kitty cats)! She is special and I couldn't imagine life without her!
