💙✨ MY BLUE EYED BOY✨💙

Say hello to Raine 🐶 — my ee Cream long-haired boy, and one of the rarest little looks I've ever had the pleasure of raising. 💫

Both eyes a brilliant blue 👀💙, set in that soft cream coat with the long, silky hair he's growing into more beautifully by the day. ✨ An ee Cream with two blue eyes is something genuinely special — you don't see it often, and when you do, you don't forget it. 🌟

And then there's the tongue. 😛 Just the tiniest bit of it, poking out the side, exactly like his uncle Otto. 🐾 I don't know what it is about that little slip of a tongue, but it gets me every single time. 🥰 He has absolutely no idea he's doing it, which somehow makes it even better. 😆

Honestly, he looks like a supermodel waiting to walk the catwalk 💃 — or should I say the dogwalk? 🤣🐕 That long, elegant stride, the way he holds himself, the blue-eyed stare straight down the lens. 📸 He knows. He absolutely knows. 😏

Between the eyes, the tongue and the beautiful temperament, Raine is one in a million. 💎 🤗💙

🍞 THE TOAST QUEUE 🍞

Breakfast time at Zanelyn Dachshunds, and I've barely sat down before the line-up begins.

Little faces, all at perfect dachshund height, all staring at the exact same piece of toast like it's the last meal on earth.

The thing is, these dogs want for nothing! They get the good food, the treats, the little extras. Yet the moment I lift a piece of toast to my mouth, you'd swear I'd never fed them a day in their lives. Apparently 'my' breakfast is the only breakfast that counts.

I've tried eating standing up. I've tried eating quietly. I've tried the old "it's not for dogs" line, which they find hilarious. Every single time, the queue reassembles, and every single time I end up breaking off "just a little corner" — which, let's be honest, is how this whole thing started.

And it's not just the toast.🍞 My cup of tea ☕️ is under siege too. If I ever turn my back for a single second, I turn around to find either a little face buried in the cup, or the cup sitting there miraculously empty.

Poor mum, outnumbered at her own kitchen table, negotiating with a panel of very short, very determined judges.

I wouldn't have it any other way.🐾🥰

💙 BABY BLUE EYES 💙

After dropping Harley at the airport, we stopped for a spot of lunch before the long drive home — and this is who I got to share it with. 🐾

Delilah, my little silver dapple girl, with the two bluest eyes you ever did see. 💙 Right beside her, her very proud mum (and my 2IC😄), Kya, keeping a close and loving eye on her daughter. Timmy, Sienna and Kane are up to something 'as usual' in the back seat! There's something so special about watching a mum and her girl together — Kya is every bit as besotted with her as I am. 🥰

A bittersweet day, really. One puppy flew off to his new life in Perth, and here I am at lunch with some of my other gorgeous kids, soaking up the snuggles before we head home. Some days the heart is very full. 💛

Those eyes though… Delilah, you are something else. ✨

✈️ HARLEY'S BIG ADVENTURE 🐾

Yesterday I drove little Harley to the airport for the biggest journey of his young life — a flight across the country to Perth, and to his new family.

I took his sister along for moral support (every brave boy needs his sister close by), plus the usual crew who go everywhere with me. I think they all knew something was up. 🐶

There's always a quiet moment at the airport, where I hand over a puppy I've raised from his very first breath — and my heart does a little wobble every single time. But then the messages came through: landed safely, sound as a bell, and already curled up fast asleep in the bed between his two new parents. 🥰

And that's the bit that makes it all worthwhile. Not the flight, not the distance — just knowing he's exactly where he's meant to be. Loved, warm, and home.

Be happy, little Harley. Perth is very lucky to have you. 💛

SIENNA CALLS SH***UN 🚗👑

Well, technically she didn't call it. She just took it. 😂

After dropping Matilda of at the airport for her flight to Ballarat, and saying my goodbyes, I returned to the car to find... Sienna. In the front seat. Sitting there. Upright. Like a person. 🐾

She had been in the back with some of the other kids, exactly where she belonged. But the second Matilda boarded that plane, Sienna quietly promoted herself to front passenger. No discussion. No vote. No paperwork. Just a sausage dog in a seat, looking at me like I was the one who'd got in the wrong car. 😂

She sat there like Lady Muck herself. Honestly, you would think she was the boss around here or something!😆🐾

You could practically hear her thinking: "Well. That's one down. Now about the sleeping arrangements..." 🛏️

I'd like to formally clarify that Sienna does NOT run the show around here. 📢

Sienna would like to formally clarify that she does. 👑

SOME FLIGHTS CARRY PASSENGERS. THIS ONE CARRIED A LITTLE PIECE OF OUR HEART ✈️💕

Last week our beautiful silver dapple girl 'Matilda' boarded her flight to Ballarat — where her new dad Wayne had been counting down the weeks for her arrival.

Her dad had everything ready for her long before she even left us. Her bed, her bowls, her toys, blankets etc all sitting there waiting for the moment she finally walked through the door. And if that wasn't enough to melt us completely, he sent us a shirt with his scent on it, so Matilda could get to know him before she even met him — and travel with a little piece of "home" right there beside her on the flight.🥹

She is going to be spoilt absolutely rotten, and honestly, we couldn't be happier for her.

And she didn't make the trip to the airport alone. Her sister came along for the drive to keep her company right up until check-in — two little sausages, one very big adventure. 🐾

We miss you gorgeous girl — but we know you flew straight into a whole lot of love. ❤️

💛 HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL THE WONDERFUL DADS 💛

Today we're celebrating ALL the dads — and we mean all of them. 🐾

To the dads of little humans — the school-run heroes, the bedtime story readers, the providers, the protectors, the ones who teach their kids to be kind, to work hard, and to always make room in their hearts for an animal one day. 👨‍👧‍👦

To the granddads and pops — the men whose grandchildren have them completely wrapped around their little fingers, and whose laps are always open. 💛

To the dads of the four-legged kind — the dog dads, the cat dads, the "he's not a pet, he's family" dads. The ones who say "we're not getting a dog" and then end up sharing their recliner with him. 😂🐾

And to the four-legged fathers of the Zanelyn family — our handsome boys whose gentle natures and loving temperaments live on in every new generation. Your legacy is in every wagging tail. 🐶

To the stepdads, the godfathers, the uncles, the mentors and every father figure who steps up and shows up — today is for you too.

A dad's love is one of life's great constants — steady, quiet, and always there when you need it. Whatever little ones call you "Dad" — two-legged, four-legged, furry or otherwise — we hope you feel how much you're loved today.

Happy Father's Day from Dianne and all the Dachshunds at Zanelyn Dachshunds 💛🐾

However you're spending today — with kids on your lap or a dachshund on your feet — we hope it's a beautiful one. 😴🐕

🥄 I HAVE ONLY MYSELF TO BLAME 🥄🐶

I handed the Zanelyn taste-testing panel a nearly empty Greek yoghurt tub, thinking it would be a nice little treat 🥰 You know, a quick lick, a wholesome moment, maybe a cute photo.📸

What I actually got was a yoghurt-covered free-for-all! 😂🐾

There was no "quick lick." There was a scrum. There was shoving. There was at least one dachshund attempting to enter the tub headfirst 🤣 And when it was over, every single one of them had yoghurt plastered across their face like they'd lost a fight with a dessert🍦🐶

The tub? Immaculate. Genuinely could go straight back on the shelf ✨ The dogs? An absolute state. Ears, chins, snouts — frosted 😂🐕

Messy but highly recommended by the Zanelyn taste-testing panel 🐾⭐

So that's my life now 🙈 I can never have a yoghurt in peace again (not that I can ever eat anything in peace🤭😋), because the second that lid comes off, the cleanup crew assembles, and they do not come to play 🐶🐶🐶

🚨 SECURITY CHECKS REQUIRED 🚨

She's called Mini… and apparently she's also very portable.

Word has reached us that a certain cream mini Dachshund has settled beautifully into life with her new mum and dad, Robert and Sandy — and that visitors to their home are now subject to a full inspection on the way out.

In Dad's own words:

"She has been a very good girl, certainly catches attention for her nature, colour and good looks. I have to check people's bags and pockets before they leave my house." 😂

And honestly? Fair enough. That cream coat, those big eyes and that sweet, gentle nature are exactly the kind of thing that "accidentally" ends up in someone's handbag.

Mini is living the absolute dream — sunbaking on the lawn with her big sisters Jesse and Bo, sleeping flat on her back with all four legs in the air like she pays the mortgage, curling up on Mum for a cuddle, and somehow always ending up in charge of the TV remote 📺🐾

Not bad for a girl who only recently moved in.

Thank you Robert and Sandy for the beautiful updates and for loving her so well. We adore seeing her thriving 💛 (And keep checking those pockets — we don't blame anyone for trying.)

🛑🐾 Five Minutes. That's All I Asked For. 🐾🛑

Feeling a bit exhausted and run down after a pretty hectic week, so I thought I'd just lie back and treat myself to five minutes of peace and quiet and watch a bit of a movie…

Cue the Dachshund Mafia. 😂

Turns out "alone time" isn't 'ever' in their vocabulary. The second I sat down, they moved in like I owed them money. No personal space, no negotiation, no bail — just a pile of sausage dogs who unilaterally decide I am their furniture, and there is no appeals process.

Forget "hair of the dog." The cure for feeling exhausted is apparently being held hostage by a small army of very determined, very clucky Dachshunds who refuse to take no for an answer.

Send help. And snacks. Preferably both. 😅
