Story about me that my Hoomans would like to share: Misty entered DRNA’s system at the young age of 5 months, just two hours after Tom Flynn in Atlanta, Georgia received my application to rescue a doxie. This was on a Thursday afternoon. A review with the DRNA board was conducted on Saturday afternoon, and it was determined that our home would be a good home for “Silver Belle” as they had named Misty. A home checked would be waived provided I met “Belle” at the airport in Anchorage, AK with a sweater. A wonderful airline attendant named Tres used her free travel and two days off to escort Misty all the way from Atlanta to Anchorage on Tuesday. I will never forget seeing Misty for the first time. She was such a long, slender little girl, who immediately went pee on the carpet in the airport when Tres let her out of her sherpa bag. Tres simply blotted it up with a puppy pad and all was well. After lots of picture taking and hugs, I put a little red doggie sweatshirt on Misty and we headed home. She curled up on my lap and fell asleep. Willy was a bit upset when we brought Misty home that night. We kept him and Alex on leashes for the introduction. Alex was sweet to Misty, but grumpy old Willy had to be sent to his cave to sulk until he could be a gentleman. The next morning, Willy and Misty started playing and wrestling. Willy was obviously letting Misty win. All three dogs have been buddies ever since.

Frankys_mom · July 13, 2006, 05:20:57 PM

HAPPY DOD, Misty!
You sure are cute, I could just smooch your little face

Boy it looks like you have a great snuggle spot by the stove.
We hope you had a great day.
Dawn, Franks & Dee

She's such a cutie! Congrats on your Dod tomorrow, Misty! (I have another name for this sociable, long, little girl - lap hog! When I was at DD's in 2001 with Siglen and Gretl, Misty was the first dachsie there. That makes her alpha, so she pushes my girls off my lap and snuggles in! Her momma thought that was rude of her, but I totally knew where Misty was coming from, and I thought it was cute!) Smoochies for your special day, sweet girl!

Dee Dee and Hallie · July 13, 2006, 07:13:50 PM

She is just adorable. And I too can attest to the fact that she is a SWEETheart! And a very lucky one at that. Happy DOD Misty!

Awww...what cutie and what a great story. Hope Misty has a great day!

Beth · July 13, 2006, 08:50:54 PM

Misty, you're such a pretty girl! You look A LOT like Miss Chilie, but you have more silver dappling. I love your gotcha story. Very sweet! Hope you enjoy your special day!

Roberta · July 14, 2006, 06:24:35 AM

You are cute girlie. Imagine someone being sill enough not to want you after just such a short time, but in a way it was a good thing as you have found te perfect home.
Have a great day
Roberta

Great posting Patty, but then you have a beautiful subject. Being partial to dapples (after my little smooth red, of course), I can understand Dan's attachment to his little grrl.

Outside my window here at work is a "dappled" tree. I think Sycamore would be a great dappled dachsie name, eh?

TerriL · July 14, 2006, 07:06:33 AM

Yippee! We waited all week for a DOD and it was worth the wait! Misty you are just adorable! I love your pretty silver and black hair! What a great bio and the pics are fantastic! I really like the one of all three of you by your woodstove! Looks sooooo comfy!
Patty....why didn't I know that Misty was a Dapple???? I thought that all three of yours were black and tans! She is just precious!

I don't know Terri, I think I've posted pictures of Misty before. One thing I notice about her dapples, she is getting darker the older she gets. Other dapple owners have said the same thing about theirs.

Jenny G · July 14, 2006, 01:33:56 PM

What a sweet girl! I love the pic of you taking a nap with your kitty friend and the pic of you snuggling with your dad! Hope you have a super great DOD day!

Suzie · July 14, 2006, 08:29:44 PM

How can it be? 6 years????? She and Milo are nearly the same age...Sloppy kisses to sweet Misty from the Boulder contingent. ( I remember all the input about her name!)

Sandishooligans · July 19, 2006, 02:46:12 PM

I love Misty's coming home story. What a long beautiful girl she is. I've had the pleasure of meeting Misty. She is simply a doll......a wiggly one.

Hope you had a nice DOD, sweet girl.

DeeanDave · July 20, 2006, 03:47:14 PM

A long belated DOD to you, Misty! You are such a pretty girrl! Hope you had a grand day!

David C. · February 05, 2007, 08:45:38 PM

I wanted to bring this post back up to the top so everyone could see a lot of really good pictures of Misty. She is definitely going to be missed by all of us.

Roberta · February 06, 2007, 12:44:48 AM
