Picking the winner is not as easy as one might think. We've narrowed it down to five candidates and will review one more time this afternoon before announcing. Thank you everyone who submitted pictures of your beautiful family members.

The Art of Living #12 – Where Mothers Go
For a long stretch of my life, I believed I had lost my connection to my mother. Some of you know that when her health declined, my two younger brothers didn’t allow me to say goodbye. That moment — or the absence of it — carved out a hollow space I carried quietly.

But this morning, when I stepped out my front door, something shifted. I realized my mother is in my garden.

When she was still healthy, we had begun planning for her to move onto my property. She had already started imagining what she called her “park,” pointing out where paths might curve and where benches might rest. I didn’t know then how deeply those early sketches would root themselves in me. On December 4, 2022, at 3:47 p.m., Alec sent a text that simply read, “Mother passed away.” It took time — real time — to understand that she hadn’t truly left.

Her presence is woven into the landscape. Tony, the six‑foot driftwood horse head, stands tall in the garden. Tony was her favorite childhood horse, the one she spoke of with a softness that never faded. The bench Gavin and I built sits beneath the trees, a place where I sip my morning coffee or chat with families interested in Roxy’s Doxies.

Now I can speak not only to the joy of gardening, but to the quiet power of garden art. These small touches — these little things — carry the greatest meaning. They remind me that love doesn’t disappear; it simply takes new forms.

Roxy's Doxies: Where Loving Homes Meet Loyal Companions

For every wagging tail that leaves Roxy's Doxies, there’s a story waiting to unfold—a story of unconditional love, connection, and family. Behind each adoption is not just a dog finding a home, but a home finding a new heartbeat.

Our dogs go to exceptional families: loving, clean, intelligent, and deeply connected to one another. These homes are more than shelter—they are havens of joy, where laughter echoes through hallways and patience nurtures new routines. They prioritize togetherness and treat their pets not as possessions, but as cherished members of the family.

A dog from Roxy's Doxies becomes part of something bigger—a community of kindness. Our families don’t just adopt a dog; they commit to the values that make dogs special: loyalty, affection, and intelligence. They embrace the quirks—the playful paw on your lap during dinner; the eager nose nudging you awake in the morning. They celebrate the milestones: a perfect fetch, a triumphant walk, and every quiet moment spent in loving companionship.

Roxy's Doxies is not only about the dogs we love; it’s about the families who make space in their hearts for them. Their stories are what inspire us to continue our work: to nurture, to connect, and to celebrate the profound, unspoken bond between humans and canines. From our home to yours ... love you more!

Friday came and went and with the storm, I totally blew past Rehome Friday which is an invite for small breeders to join Roxy's Doxies for rehoming opportunities. If you have another breeder that you think would be a good fit, please share our link or have them get in contact with me.

Lila Mae's watercolor portrait arrived yesterday and one of you will have the chance for Sketchy Evening to do your doxie. Can't wait to find the perfect vintage frame and add her to my gallery wall. The winner will be chosen and notified next weekend so please post your photos now and Gavin will pick out the winner.

The Art of Living #22

Every once in a while, we need to pause long enough to notice what we’ve accomplished. Not with pride that shouts, but with gratitude that settles. Admire what your hands have shaped. Remember the vision you planted years ago. And let yourself enjoy the life that has quietly grown around you.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how to support the many families who reach out hoping to add a dachshund to their home. With more than 4,000+ loyal dachshund families along with my 1.2k, on the Roxy’s Doxies page, the interest is real — and the love for these little, long dogs is strong.

To help meet that demand responsibly, I’m starting something new: Rehoming Fridays.

Every Friday, I’ll make one post where a few trusted small doxie families and hobby breeders can share rehoming‑only photos in the comments. Families who are looking can browse, connect, and reach out privately.

Breeders will ask interested families to contact them via Messenger, and I’ll also reach out to breeders privately to keep everything above reproach and aligned with our values.

This community has always been about love, transparency, and doing things the right way. I’m excited to see how this next chapter unfolds. If you’re interested in joining Roxy’s Doxies, please reach out.

There’s something almost sacred after a hard rain, when the world feels rinsed clean and the trees seem to bow in gratitude. This morning, I stepped outside my trees were leaning toward the earth, as if acknowledging Mother Nature with a quiet thank you. It stopped me in my tracks. A reminder that even in our own storms, there is beauty in pausing, softening, and recognizing the gifts around us. The garden always knows how to teach what the heart forgets, humility, renewal, and the simple grace of being present.

Take a moment and be grateful for what you have.
