Since we are giving out love to the senior doxies, I submit our precious 18 year old Ginger. She’s the retired alpha, but still looks over the household in her bed (heating pad included) on the dedicated sofa just for her. The queen lives well in retirement.6yr ⋅ mbergh50 ⋅ r/Dachshund

The bottom right is a pict I found that I used as a lock screen on every iPhone I’ve ever had. I would see it multiple times a day for 7 years and wish it was my dog. Now that I have Lulu, I realize that she is a seven year wish that came true. I couldn’t be happier.4yr ⋅ mbergh50 ⋅ r/aww

Hello everyone. This is Lulu, our 1 year old rescue that we got just a couple of days ago. She's our first bulldog and I could not be more in love. I looked over at her and saw her watching tv with me sitting like this. Too perfect.7yr ⋅ mbergh50 ⋅ r/Bulldogs

Since me and this bad boy are destined to be together for awhile, thought I’d upgrade to the neon frictionless orbital glides, the WU saddlebag and the Cane Holder 3000 (3,000x better than the competition).

My fav open. As someone who enjoys cooking from scratch and putting in the extra time it takes to make the food taste that much better, it both delights and kills me to watch. The angst of watching him try to save the chili while listening to him describe the love he put in to it. Funny and sad.6yr ⋅ mbergh50 ⋅ r/DunderMifflin
20 years managing my college’s two concert halls, I thought I had a fool proof plan for my students storing mic cables. Then I pulled out these two gems.

Not the best of picts, but this is more so about the moment. Suzy going down vs Jack going up the bed = Doxie battle of stubborn wills. Neither moved for each other and after about 5/6 minutes each gave up and went back to where they were.7yr ⋅ mbergh50 ⋅ r/Dachshund
