Look out, Snow White!

Oh, no! The wicked witch is sneaking up on Snow White. Maybe she is jealous of the Handsome Prince?

Okay, maybe just a little bit. The other evening, Derek said "You are so beautiful." Emilie thought he was talking to her. But when she turned around she realized he was talking to Dharma. Sigh. Well, Dharma is beautiful.

Next time: Dwarf Cred

Prince?

Every beautiful princess gets a handsome prince. I hate to admit it, but Derek is Dharma's favorite human.

Didn't you know, all princes are wearing black-tie these days? Capes are so passé. Actually, Derek was all dressed up to take Emilie to the opera. Dharma was just dressed up for the picture. Isn't that a cute little frock? I wish it would fit me. They are so adorable together.

But all is not rosy in fairytale land...

Can it be?

It is the star, Snow White herself! Isn't she lovely?

She seems wistful. Maybe she is dreaming of her handsome prince?

To be continued...

Last but not least...

A Happy Ending!

But wait, there are more pictures in this series! What will they be?

My favorite dwarf

I admit it, Grumpy is my favorite dwarf! Although Dharma is usually good-natured, she can be quite grumpy on occasion.

She has good reason to look grumpy in this picture. She was just home from the vet's office after having surgery to remove part of a stuffed animal from her stomach (two octopus legs, to be exact.) She was also wearing a little people-puppy onesie to keep her from biting her sutures. She was not a contented canine. Don't worry, she is all better now. And, next time, she will show you her impression of Happy, the dwarf.

Dopey the Dwarf

Sorry, Dharma, but your Dopey picture is just too good not to share. Dopey did have big ears...

She's such a good sport. Don't worry, she always gets lots of treats for posing for us.

Pup-a-boo

Well, hello under there! It is perhaps the cutest dwarf of all...

Bashful.

Just call me Doctor...

This is Dharma's impression of Doc the Dwarf. Don't worry, kids, she grades easier than Emilie does.

And another

Here, Dharma does her impression of Sneezy the Dwarf:

Keep in mind, it isn't easy to photograph the actual moment of a sneeze. And, even if you catch it, it tends to look more like a bark or a cough. This shows the ticklish moment right before the sneeze. If you remember Disney's Seven Dwarfs, that is the funniest part, anyway.Like some humans, Dharma has photophobia. No, this isn't a fear of light. It is a reflexive sneeze reaction when stepping into bright light, like sunlight. And it is very cute.

Tomorrow: Doc

(For previous dwarf, click Older Post, below.)

Return of the Dachshund!

Yes, for your viewing pleasure, Dharma has returned! Don't think that the puppy deserted her loyal fans. It was more a matter of her "Mommy" spending more time on Facebook and less time here. But, really, the blog is a better showcase for our puppy's extreme cuteness, isn't it?

For at least the next week or so, we will resume the Daily Dachshund photos. As requested by one of her fans, Dharma will model her impression of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. And you will see, she is not only cute, she is also quite the ham--I mean, actress.

Sleepy

Like dwarves, doxies can apparently sleep anywhere. And don't think for a minute that she doesn't have plenty of soft, cozy places to sleep. She even has tiny pillows for her little head. She just preferred "roughing it" for this particular nap for some strange reason. Who know what thoughts go through her little furry head? I do wonder what she dreams about, when her little paws run or she licks her lips in her sleep. Is she dreaming of chasing badgers? And eating them. With ketchup.
