Homer is absolutely adorable! Those eyes...! Give him a big wet kiss between the ears from Nicole in Germany (and yes, he will go *eeew - kissing* :-))
I love the dead dog pose on the couch and of course, Homer curled up like a littly furry black comma looking at the camera. How adorable is he??!! Smooches to the puppy!
Diana -- So glad that you are blogging; I have followed your career since Outlander's original publishing, and now -- in between your publishing -- I can still have access to your prose! As a child, I had a smooth haired standard Dachsund kindly given to me from my parents for Christmas; Toby was curled up like a chocolate brown in the manger under the tree. Homer has the very gentle eyes typical of the breed --what is the orgin of the name? Was it the philosopher...or the animated series?
Homer is adorable. He looks just like my mini doxie, who is at the moment smooshed up against my leg, with my daughter smooshed behind my back. I'm all smooshed. Typical mom eh?
Homer is very cute. My hubbie has had doxies since he was 12 (he's 54 now). We lost our precious Sam last August (gluttonous dog's will eat anything...even if it's bad!) She was the happiest dog I've ever seen. We got 2 new doxies right before Thanksgiving through the Dachshund rescue. Elvira (Elli) is a 3-year-old Black & Tan Smooth. When we got her she was underweight (11 lbs). She's now about 12 1/2 lbs. Morticia (Tish) is a 15-month-old Black and Tan mini (8 lbs) and she is absolutely full of P & V. They're wonderful companions but a bit on the stubborn side :)
I'm the author of the OUTLANDER novels--which Salon.com described as "the smartest historical sci-fi adventure/romance ever written by a science Ph.D. with a background in scripting Uncle Scrooge comic books."
I'm not sure I could describe them any better. [g]
It did and Homer's a cutie!
ReplyDeleteHomer is up in all his dachsie glory!
ReplyDeleteOh, boy. Are you in for it now. Just look at that face....
ReplyDeleteHomer's a doll and the Corgi!! Looks a lot like mine! Especially from behind! LOL!
ReplyDeleteDear Janine--
ReplyDeleteI think corgis have charming butts. [g] Like little bears.
Is that Gerald Forbes ear on the edge of the carpet?!!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are adorable; thank you for sharing them.

Dear Saundra--
ReplyDeleteDoes look like an ear, doesn't it? [g] But no, it's a nasty--but evidently wildly attractive dog-chew.

ReplyDeleteGosh, I love dogs. I love when their little ears fold back like that. He looks so sweet.

ReplyDeleteDear Karen--
ReplyDeleteUm, neither. Homer's named for the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey--good name for a storyteller's dog. [g]

Love the books...anxiously awaiting Echo.
Dear Kristy--
ReplyDeleteI think _all_ dachshunds are stubborn. [g]
