Reader Lisa sent me this photo of Professor, her Dachshund, in his new large SturdiBag back in October 2011. That’s how desperate the state of my in-box is. I admit my shame only because I love Dachshunds so — my first dog was a standard red smooth-haired Dachshund named Lady (in fact, her full name was Lady Alice of Vincennes, but she only got that when she was very naughty indeed) — and the Professor is a sweetheart:

He’s clearly pleased with his new carrier — Lisa told me, “I think he likes it more than the couch.” I’d love to see how you and your pup spent your time together this week — please post your photos on Dog Jaunt’s Facebook page so we can all see them!
