My StatCounter indicates people are searching for this video that shows two Doxies in all their joyful glory welcoming their daddy home after eight months in Kuwait. I found the clip at Carson's blog The Long and the Short of It, which celebrates Dachshunds throughout history, art, and pop culture. He also recently featured an excellent Dachshund Christmas card round up here. Thanks, Carson (and Maggie and Joey, his two Doxie muses).

Thanks Moira! I had found that video in the summer and wanted to save it for Veteran’s Day; it brings a tear to my eye to watch it. Bless our troops! (just not the wars – I think you said the same thing in a post on Veteran’s day if I remember).
Some big website, can’t remember who, posted a bunch of similar videos, including that one, and really turned it into the viral video it deserves to be. It had about 100 views when I posted it on Veteran’s day, and now it’s something crazy close to 200,000 or so in about a week. It should be required viewing for all Americans!
btw – I’m a full-fledged male the last time I checked. 🙂
But thanks for the nice words.
I read Dog Art Today every day, and love it!
