		<title>Top things DREAM dachshunds are thankful for</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I polled all the dachshunds in DREAM&#8217;s foster homes, and they all were thankful for something different!
Eli was thankful for tennis balls, which he now chases as much as possible (sometimes for hours), and for his foster mamas who throw the ball for him.  Over and over and over. And over.
Stan was thankful for his [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dreamdachshundrescue.wordpress.com&blog=4990656&post=303&subd=dreamdachshundrescue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>AH, a rainy fall with dachshunds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[HowlOWeenie is behind us, and it was glorious.  We now turn our sights to fall, when a young rescuer&#8217;s thoughts lightly turn to thoughts of &#8230;.. murder, mayhem, and rage at the machine.
No, not really.  But there are a few things I&#8217;m pretty hacked off about right now.
1.  Arnold Schwarzenegger.  He vetoed a bill to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dreamdachshundrescue.wordpress.com&blog=4990656&post=296&subd=dreamdachshundrescue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Exception Rescue&#8221; vs. &#8220;Overpopulation Rescue&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So much of what rescue groups deal with is because of the massive overpopulation of dogs &#8212; pure mathematics &#8212; too many dogs, too few homes.  I call this &#8220;overpopulation rescue&#8221; and it is so overwhelming, we often can&#8217;t help with special circumstances that are really  heartbreaking &#8212; when someone can no longer care for [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dreamdachshundrescue.wordpress.com&blog=4990656&post=290&subd=dreamdachshundrescue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Why I say &#8220;And I thought I had seen it all!&#8221; so much.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So yeah.  I thought I had seen it all.  But it turns out, no.
Just in the past 2 weeks:
1.  Langley arrived from animal control with his giant cut all down his side, from front leg, all down his ribs, and down his back leg. It had already scarred over in spots, and all of it [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dreamdachshundrescue.wordpress.com&blog=4990656&post=287&subd=dreamdachshundrescue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#60;See 8/25 update at bottom!&#62;
Some days it&#8217;s really hard.  I go to a shelter a couple of times most weeks, squeezing the visits in between my &#8220;paying&#8221; work and when I can coordinate with a vet and a foster home.  It&#8217;s always hard, walking through those rows of runs, where the dogs look up at [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dreamdachshundrescue.wordpress.com&blog=4990656&post=264&subd=dreamdachshundrescue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Waycross dachshund bills are coming in!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In January, DREAM took in 6 dogs from the raid on the hoarder in Waycross, Georgia.  In May, we took 4 more.  All were sweet and loving, even with all they had been through.  Thistle.  Spindle.  Clover.  Petal.  Stewie.  Pauly.  Miller.  Chamblee.  Maura.  And tiny Ben.
That&#8217;s Thistle in the picture.
So far, bills have topped $4000.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dreamdachshundrescue.wordpress.com&blog=4990656&post=256&subd=dreamdachshundrescue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Deaf + halfblind + cushings + heart murmur = Double Dapple</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We took in a couple of double dapples from Oconee County a couple of weeks ago.  They had been turned in by their owner, and came with their breeding papers.What an adventure we are having.  (At least, I&#8217;m trying to look at it as an adventure, rather than a tragedy.)
One of the dogs, Blossom, had [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dreamdachshundrescue.wordpress.com&blog=4990656&post=249&subd=dreamdachshundrescue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Sigh.  I&#8217;ve been so discouraged since the Obama thing.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was really in a funk about the Obamas getting a dog from a breeder, and the huge missed opportunity to set an example about saving a dog in need.  Then the head of the Humane Society posted this, and I feel a lot better.

		<title>Fools for Dachshunds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our annual &#8220;Fools for Dachshunds&#8221; party was last night.  What fun to see so many DREAM alumni dogs, meet new dachshund-crazy folks, and catch up with old friends.  I felt so lucky last night to be part of such a wonderful community of people who truly love the breed, but aren&#8217;t all hung up on [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dreamdachshundrescue.wordpress.com&blog=4990656&post=242&subd=dreamdachshundrescue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
