Meet Sophie, the Delightful Dachshund Muse

April 25, 2017 by Kim Kalisik Leave a Comment

Every artist has a muse, and mine comes in a long little body with short stubby legs. Sophie is our 7 year-old long-haired dachshund who is a constant source of inspiration and humor. We got Sophie from a breeder in Ft. Lauderdale at the age of 8 weeks and that was when the wiener dog obsession began. When Sophie was around 1 year-old, I realized that I might be driving my social media friends nuts with constant photos of my sweet little dachshund and so I began a "dog blog" over at Tumblr called "Weenie Wanderings". It is filled with photos of Sophie through the years as well as re-posts from many other doxie blogs I follow. So now that you guys know where it all began, here are a few facts about Miss Sophie:

  • She is considered a Red (or shaded red) but her Daddy was an English Cream and Mama was a Red
  • She's about 15lbs, so she's more of a "tweenie" than a mini
  • She once had a big sister named Pudgy, a pug
  • Like many dachshunds, she likes to bark
  • She can do a few tricks like shake, sit, stay and spin
  • She was once in the Florida Wiener Dog Derby, although she was too terrified to come out of the start crate
  • Miss Sophie is a full time boat dog and lives aboard with her family
  • A true Florida gal, she loves the beach but not so enthusiastic about getting wet
  • She will solicit a belly rub any chance she gets
  • She is crate trained and loves her crate
  • She is exceptionally spoiled rotten and loved

We would love to hear about your special doxies so feel free to leave a comment below!
