These two adorable senior dachshunds were complete hams for the camera! Cha Gio (prounounced “cha-yaw” – it means “eggroll”!) is the 16-year-old big brother, and Xi Xon (pronounced “see-song”) is 15 years old. They were incredibly photogenic, along with their gorgeous parents, and were striking poses left and right. I love the long fluffy hair on the ends of Cha Gio’s ears, and Xi Xon’s many expressions. And you know I can never get enough of the short stubby legs!
One of their favorite pastimes is licking – Cha Gio licks Xi Xon’s face while she licks her own paws.
Xi Xon is missing some teeth, so sometimes her tongue peeks out a little – I love it!
rachel - love the little tongue!
admin - @Laine – that is too funny!
Laine Sweezey - Oh,for crying out loud. Way back in the day, when I lived near Piedmont Park, I used to eat at a Vietnamese restaurant called Cha Gio on a weekly basis. NOW I find out how to pronounce it!
(Darling dogs, however.)
Joni - These two are so cute and you know what makes them even cuter — the fact that you can tell how much their people love them. Love these photos!
Beth - These two are adorable! I love Xi Xon’s soulful eyes and sweet expressions!
Therese - Thank you SO much Leesia for posting these photos. It was such a pleasure to have you in our home and our babies seemed to warm up to you very quickly! You really captured their expressions and their spirit perfectly. I absolutely LOVE these pictures & I can’t wait to see the rest!
You are absolutely THE BEST!
Thanks again,
Therese
