Engli, 12.5 still amazing: Beach ball

It cooled down enough to play with the beach ball this evening. The 'red piebald' spotted ball. lol
First 2 shots, her feet are not touching ground.









The folks that have Engli's daughter, Molly, ask us when Molly is going to slow down. Uuumm. Not sure. lol I think they'll be getting a few pics from tonight. lol

She puts my couch potatoes to shame! Go, little lady!

Engli is in such great shape I think it'll be quite a few yrs before she starts to slow down......Toby didn't start to until he was 16 and even now at 18 (next month) he still hunts, excitedly dances - twirling and jumping every evening as I am prepping his meal and acts like a puppy when the girls go into heat....it does take a lot out of him but I can't tell him no its just so great seeing him with a lot of life still.

Engli's pictures remind me of that song on All dogs go to heaven "You can't keep a good dog down".....Oh you can't keep a good dog down (No sir), No you can't keep a good dog down, I've seen pain and hurt (That's right), I've eaten dirt (That's true), It's hard to buy but even I
Have been jilted by a skirt (He lies), Look out, I'm still around, 'Cause you can't keep a good dog down.......Engli you are so awesome!!!

Give us your secret for such healthy, long lived dachshunds! One of the ingredients must be plenty of exercise and of course lots of lov'in! I so enjoy your pictures. Ruth

Thank you everyone! Your kind words are much appreciated!

I think she's so amazing. Our Basil who passed was stiff with arthritis and even with meds turned into more of a statue of a dog. We did the best we could for him and it seemed that Engli got a double dose of supple, fluid, energetic. Like a dancer. I think we've been blessed, with all of them really. They all have a way of making us smile, don't they? I saw Engli *jump over* Georgia yesterday when they were ball hunting. Effortless. Beau and Georgia are too front end heavy to do such shananigans. lol
