🦋💜Sometimes it really is the simplest things in life that bring me the most joy. 🦋💜

I can stand here far longer than I probably should, completely distracted, watching this little butterfly flutter from one bloom to the next on my butterfly bush. No schedule. No worries. No care in the world. Just soaking up the sunshine and enjoying whatever flower looks good at the moment.

And for those few minutes, I find myself doing the same.

No thinking about what still needs done. No checking the clock. No rushing on to the next thing. Just standing there, watching and smiling.

Maybe that’s why I love moments like this so much. They’re little reminders that joy doesn’t always have to come from something big. Sometimes it’s right outside your door, quietly asking you to notice. 🦋🌸

Today, this was my little moment of joy. 💜

Here Tonight, I’m Proud. And Tomorrow, the Goodbyes Begin. 💜🐾

Tonight I’m sitting here preparing puppy folders, packets and go-home bags because tomorrow, some of these little ones will begin leaving for their forever homes.

And as I look at everything spread out in front of me, I can’t help but feel proud.

I’ve been breeding dachshunds for many years, but I have never stopped learning, changing, improving or asking myself, “What else can I do to better prepare my puppies and their families?”

Over the years, what I send home has continued to evolve. Today, it’s so much more than paperwork.

There are health records, veterinary information, vaccination and preventative schedules, microchip information, nutrition and supplement guidance, feeding instructions, important dates and resources for the months and years ahead.

There are also the little memories and personal touches that mean so much to me, a personalized birth certificate documenting where their story began and a customized canvas “My Little Dachshund Heaven” bag filled with goodies to help start their new adventure. 💜

Inside are some of my favorite pawTree products, a custom-made leash, harness and seatbelt, toys, a blanket and other goodies I’ve chosen specifically with those first days at home in mind.

Because I don’t want to simply send a puppy out my door.

I want to send a family home prepared.

And I want each puppy to leave with a little piece of My Little Dachshund Heaven going along with them. 🐾

A huge THANK YOU to Carla Walsh, who makes these adorable customized canvas bags for me. I absolutely love them and the personal touch they add to every puppy’s go-home package. 💜

And another huge THANK YOU to Kristian Elderbroom, who creates the beautiful custom leashes for my puppies. I love being able to include something handmade and special rather than simply grabbing a leash off a store shelf. These details matter to me, and I appreciate the talented people who help me make them possible!

Tomorrow is one of those days filled with mixed emotions.

There is happiness, because families who have been waiting will finally get to take home and love one of my babies for the rest of their lives.

There is sadness, because after watching these puppies enter the world, caring for them around the clock, watching their eyes open, seeing them take their first wobbly steps and discovering each little personality, suddenly I won’t get to watch them grow every single day.

And then…there is a little bit of relief and joy, too. 😂

Because if you’ve ever raised ONE eight-week-old puppy, you know what I’m talking about.

Now multiply that by 13. 🤣🐾🐾🐾

Those six-to-eight-week weeks are something else! I always chuckle a little when someone tells me, “I think I want to be a breeder,” or “I’d love to have just one litter.”

Come on over around week six. I’ll gladly let you try it for a week or two! 😂

The feeding. The cleaning. The p**p. The laundry. The socialization. The cleaning again. The paperwork. The appointments. The photos. The messages. The puppy-proofing. The escaping from the puppy-proofing. And did I mention the cleaning? 🤣

But I wouldn’t trade it.

This is truly a labor of love, and it is not something I take lightly.

Every puppy who leaves My Little Dachshund Heaven takes a little piece of my heart with them. But they also take years of experience, thought, preparation and love tucked into that folder and go-home bag beside them.

And looking at these pictures tonight, I can see something else, too.

I can see how much I have grown.

I’m proud of the breeder I was years ago because she got me here. But I’m even prouder that I have never allowed myself to say, “This is good enough.”

There is always something more to learn.
Something to improve.
Another way to support my puppies.
Another way to educate my families.
Another little detail that might make their journey together just a little bit better.

Tomorrow, another chapter begins for the puppies, for their families…and for me. 💜🐾

Loved by MLDH furever.

Because going home doesn’t mean they stop being part of my family. 💜

🐾💜 A BRAND-NEW LITTLE KEEPSAKE FOR OUR PUPPY FAMILIES! 💜🐾

I've added something new to our Puppy Packets that I absolutely love, each puppy will now go home with their very own My Little Dachshund Heaven Birth Certificate! 🥹❤️

I wanted our families to have a special little memento of where their puppy's story began.

Each certificate will document some of those tiny details that are so easy to forget as the years pass:

🐾 Their litter name
🐾 The litter theme and its special meaning
🐾 Date and time of birth
🐾 Birth weight
🐾 Mom and Dad

Each one will also be personally signed by me and finished with our special My Little Dachshund Heaven “Officially Loved” paw-print seal. ❤️

Because long before these babies have families waiting to take them home, they have a story here.

I was there for those first breaths, those first little squeaks, the first time their eyes opened, the first wobbly steps, and all the milestones that followed.

Soon, their families will take over and fill the rest of their story with adventures, memories, and a lifetime of love.

But now they'll always have a little keepsake to remember exactly where it all began...

Lovingly raised at My Little Dachshund Heaven. 🐾💜

From the moment you arrived, you were loved.

🐾❤️ PUPPY FAMILIES — CHECK YOUR EMAIL! ❤️🐾

We are officially getting VERY close to Go-Home Days! I know some of you are probably counting down the days, hours…and maybe even minutes. 😂

I sent an important email with your puppy’s final veterinary update and important go-home information, including upcoming vaccination and Interceptor dates, current feeding and supplement routine, licensing information for PA families, and a few other reminders.

📧 Creighton • Scheetz • Muniz • Berry • Russ • Conway • Marzella • Rispoli Families

Please check your email when you have a chance and read through everything carefully so you're ready for your little one’s arrival. If you don't see it in your inbox, be sure to check your spam/junk folder as well.

The puppies are healthy, happy, VERY lively according to Dr. Tony 😂, and almost ready for their next big adventure!

We’re almost there! 🐾❤️ I can't wait to see these babies head home to their families!
