Chennell B., who adopted Twist from us last July, just sent us some photos and an update on this boy. Chennell's family has a ranch in eastern Montana, and Twist -- now renamed Twitch -- has become quite the ranch Dachshund. Chennell wrote, "The little man has all of us wrapped around his little paw. He is the nicest, best mannered dog ever!"
Chennell titled this next photo "Waiting for mom (me) to call":
Proving that you can take the dog out of the Rolling Dog Ranch, but not the rolling out of the dog, here he is doing his thing while on a family trip to Weatherford, Texas:
And since ranch dogs go everywhere with their people to get the job done, whatever it is, Chennell fixed up a special compartment on the ATV so he could travel safely with her across the ranch:
Finally, here's a photo Chennell titled "My boy!":
Thank you, Chennell!
Chennell is my daughter and thus Twitch is our grandson. Chennell married this summer. She and Twitch moved to a ranch about 30 miles from our ranch. Twitch has quite a large fan base on both ranches. He loves to go with the men (and Chennell) to do ranch chores.
Twitch has participates in weiner dog races which are held at some barrel races. Yes, he's also a rodeo dog. Twitch is unmatched in his running ability and always wins his races!
Twitch has brought so much love and joy to our family and many others. Thanks for rescuing him for us!

Wow, did that make my day! I don't know if it was the rolling or the ride in the bin on the trike!

He looks awesome! What a happy update.

Chennell and Twitch - what a lucky pair!! Twitch really DOES go everywhere with his Mom. If you look at the first adoption picture and the final picture of Twitch and Chennell; you can see how his eyes have changed and he feels very much a part of his Mom's heart. What an AWESOME match this was!
LOVE the update, Chennell...keep 'em coming!
Wishing you both continued friendship and bliss....

Thank you for sending the photo's I think of him often. He is one lucky dog!! I love the photo of him on the ATV that was great.

If you have the car add too, 'the most important person is in the back', I think Twitch would definately agree!
What cute pictures, thank you for sending them and making us readers happy :-)).

I'm mostly a lurker here, but that picture of Twist in his "special compartment" on the ATV made me laugh out loud! Love it.
