Issey by quietpurplehaze

Issey

This miniature dachshund came on to the seaside terrace, where we were having our lunch, with her lady owner, friend, and 2 very large labradors, one blonde, the other black. The contrast between the labs and the dachsie was striking and I was intrigued.

As we stood up to leave, I somehow caught the eye of the lady owner who had sat down with the dachshund in her arms (or did she catch my eye...) smiled and went over to say hello.

I patted Issey and then, all of a sudden, found her offered to me - I could not refuse.

She was not too keen to have her photo taken: at home little Issey is the leader of the 'pack'; the labradors are 9-year old brothers.

A lovely encounter...
Lovely portrait and narrative Hazel:)

I did tell Issey's owner that I already know an Issi who spells her name differently!

My friend used to do dachshund rescue. She had one named Libby that was the two tone black and now she has a red one named Annie. So cute!

My sister and family loved dachshunds and had a few, the most characterful was a short-haired one called Truffle. Well done to your friend. Our late daughter, Clare, fostered several rescue dogs and adopted one called Ludo who is now cared for by two of her friends. Thank you for your visits, faves and comments.
