Wrigley, you’re wearing the hat on the wrong end!

This is Jethro, the mascot for Gulf Coast Dachshund Rescue. He is one of the 3 surviving puppies of a litter of 4 that was turned in to the rescue because they thought they were blind.  He was born with a genetic defect of a hole in his soft palate, an oddly shaped head and bit of a curve in the spine.  He had to have his tonsils removed when he was 8 weeks old and still needs another surgery to fix that hole that causes him to have a chronic snotty nose and to not quite bark, but “nyark”

Long haired Dachshund mix, Phoebe LOVES to be dressed up…despite the fact that she doesn’t look happy.  She gets really excited when she sees her “outfits.”

Simone: “We stayed up late, made prank calls, watched scary movies, played truth or dare – you know, slumber party stuff. Tevez waited until we fell asleep and finished all the pizza.”
