Gotta love a man who can get all silly with a tiny little deaf and blind dog. He calls her his ‘little painthorse’. Her other strange nickname is ‘peanut butter and mayonnaise’

Thing is still getting used to ‘clothes’. She freezes like a little statue when she is wearing something. She pouts.

And, our wonderful sweater seamstress donor knows about the special relationship between daddy and painthorse and made this one special for her -

A wonderful Nebraska Dachshund Rescue support made over 40 of these wonderful fleece sweaters for our group. She made this one especially for Thing, as I helped her get the proportions and sizes correct for the average dachsie. She made two sizes and these sweaters are darn near Houdini proof! As we all know, they can get those short front legs out of just about anything. Telly is my Houdini, but even he cant get out of this sweater! I think there are some online at a local retail health pet food store called www.longdogfatcat.com
