Meet Snickers
Snickers is our much-loved miniature dachshund and the little face you’ll often see around FurVia.
Her days involve following us from room to room, inspecting every shopping bag that enters the house and making sure she never misses what is happening.
Her world is made of simple things: the sound of us coming home, a sunny place to sleep, the cupboard where the treats are kept and a familiar toy nearby.
Then one of us asks:
“Do you want to play?”
Her tail already knows the answer.
The way she plays
Snickers may be small, but those tiny teeth are surprisingly determined.
A hidden squeaker? She will find it.
Stuffing? It will probably end up across the floor.
A loose seam? To Snickers, that is not a flaw. It is a challenge.
The toys she loves most are often the ones she has played with the hardest—carried, chewed, chased and cuddled until they look nothing like they did when they were new.
Even when a toy is torn, flattened, or its squeaker no longer works, she may still carry it through the house or bring it over when she wants to play. To Snickers, an old toy is simply one with more history.
One Very Loved Girl
Snickers does not need a job title. She just needs to keep being Snickers—following Mum from room to room, keeping Dad company when Mum isn’t home, making us laugh, leaving toys where we nearly trip over them, and always finding the warmest spot in the house.
While she is here, we want to give her more walks, more adventures, more ridiculous little games and more afternoons doing absolutely nothing together.
One day, when she finds her way to Doggy Planet, we hope she arrives with plenty of stories to tell.
And if another dog ever asks, “What was life with your humans like?” we hope Snickers can smile and say:
“I was very, very loved.” 🐾
