Aunt Gertie is in love with Baby McDonald, the long-haired miniature Dachshund! When I laid eyes on her I started screaming, “Doxie Alert! Doxie Alert!” What a cutie, patootie! “She’s a spitfire,” says Rory McDonald, her extremely proud papa! Baby lives in Long Beach and has a special bond with Aurora, Rory’s daughter. She climbs in bed at night with her and the cuddling begins. Baby loves squeak toys and rolls over instantly for belly rubs. What a life for this tiny queen bee! Little Smokies and Pigs In A Blanket are the favorite treats for this exuberant dog who really believes she’s bigger than she actually is! Being a “Chick Magnet” is another one of her specialties. Rory is delighted with all the ladies who come and swoon over Baby then strike up conversations and leave their phone numbers. He’s got ‘em piled up all over the place. Way cool! Rory McDonald clearly has a real good thing going!
Baby McDonald is 2 years old and weighs in at 7 pounds. She will be racing in the 22nd Annual Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nationals, Saturday, July 22nd, at the Los Alamitos Race Course, located at 4961 Katella Ave., in Los Alamitos.
