"The Pink Dachshund"

I have an eye for All Things Dachshund, and was not expecting to find a nice story about one (albeit, a pink one) in Skirt! magazine, the Atlanta edition.

[I picked up Skirt! only because it was free; it took me a month to finally sit down and read it. I wasn't that impressed with it because (1) I'm not a big shopper, (2) I'm not rich, (3) I don't live the hip, urban/city lifestyle, (4) I'm not a feminist in the Gloria Steinem/ultra-liberal/any-kind-of-liberal sense of the word, and (5) the target audience of the magazine seems to be a combination of all of the above. Plus, easily 90% of it is ads, or ads disguised as articles. I know, I know, that's why it's free, but still. I will say that the brief profiles of women in a variety of professions - not just wedding gown designers or CEOs - were interesting as well.]

So I was hurrying through Skirt! until I found a piece called "The Pink Dachshund." All skimming screeched to a halt, and I enjoyed reading about a pink balloon dachshund that changed how the author viewed her boss.

Dachshunds are like that. They change the world for the better.
