Three dachshunds, one yard, and lots of mulberries.

This time of year our backyard is covered in wild strawberries and mulberries that drop from the neighbor's tree. Emma, Topper and Luna love the berries and spend a lot of time in the yard eating them. They also eat worms, slugs, and any small critters they catch. This past week, Luna caught a juvenile robin. She had managed to eat the head before I found out. Yuck, what a mess! It's been awhile since I posted new pics of the dogs. The twins (Luna and Topper) are two, Emma is eight. All are feisty, in good health, and love to soak up the sun. They also enjoy walks, and it's a real treat to take three dachshunds on a walk together. Luna and Topper walk beside me, Emma beside Steve. They are very good on walks until we come across another dog... Luna goes into anxiety barking mode then, but the rest of the time we have an easy time of it.
