Doxiesfest is an annual event sponsored by Coast-to-Coast Dachshund Rescue, one of the rescuesthat we work with. It's an outdoor event in April that's filled with
vendors of all things dog, agility trials a costume contest, fundraising
for the rescue and other things- ALL for DACHSHUNDS, although other
dogs are welcome. :)

| My table with my new poster and books |
- This year, I participated with my new
book
"Pets and the Afterlife." Thanks to our friends Kristin and Thomas
Sparkman (who also work with rescue- and in fact, organized it this
year!), I had a table where I set up under a shady tree.
I met several people who told me about their dog or cat (whom passed) clearly came back and given signs that they were still around. From seeing them out of the corner of their eye, to feeling them brush against them. It was really interesting to hear more of the stories that I wrote about in the book.
There were a good number of people in attendance, and I met one gentleman and his wife who owned 6 Dachshunds and transported them in a baby stroller. I had to get a picture of that!

Our friend Melissa was there, too- she managed the rescue for a long time. She brought her new Dachshund baby - a Dachshund-Chihuahua mix that she recently adopted. Melissa also has the coolest dog things, and had a cloth bag with a shoulder strap that comfortably held the dog!
