***Rue passed away October 8th but we still want to share her story. We have lowered the price since we no longer need to raise money for medical expenses and so as many people as possible can enjoy her adventures. Money already raised for her medical expenses will be donated to Dachshund Rescue of South Florida's IVDD surgery fund along with part of the proceeds from new sales. ***Rue started life as a regular dachshund but after a surgery for her back and a trip into a hyperbaric oxygen chamber she ended up with super powers. She keeps track of her daily adventures in her journal and on her blog. She is a very active differently-abled dachshund whose determination and love of life will inspire you. Her journal includes photos and stories from some of her greatest adventures:- Mistaking a lime for an Easter Egg- Getting her super powers- Ridding the world of pesky tree rats on squirrel patrolBook Excerpt:" February 8- Any good super hero has to have a few “alter egos” up their sleeve. Here are the ones I have come up with so far:Rue- regular ol' me, silly, sassy, and determined is the best way to describe me.Super Rue- the superhero in me that does amazing things like wag my tail right after surgery. (Don't confuse Super Rue with Subaru... Ones a hero and the other is a car)Kanga"Rue"- Jumpy, bouncy troublemaker (I'm not supposed to jump so I get in ALOT of trouble when they catch me doing this)"Rue"bo-cop- Fun police and squirrel patrol. I try to keep everyone safe and sound from squirrels and squeaky toys"Rue"dolph the Red-Nosed Dog- Nosey little lady always trying to be involved in everyone's business... Which leads to a hurt nose"Rue"ster- Howling hound that likes to wake people up in the morning and announce danger"Rue"tabaga (or as my mom says Rue 'da Begga)- My street urchin alter ego that is always begging for something food-related"March 31- Happy Easter everyone! Mom tried to turn me into the Easter "Rue"bbit this afternoon but I wasn't really feeling a second set of big ears.I did find an Easter egg today though! Well, I thought it was an Easter Egg... I hadn't really seen one in person so I wasn't entirely sure. Dad dropped it while he was making dinner. I took off with it and carried it into the bedroom where mom was unpacking stuff. Then I decided I'd eat it before dad could get it back from me... I had to be quick because I could hear him coming down the hall looking for me.Mom was laughing at me and I couldn't figure out why because I thought the whole point of Easter finding the eggs and getting the treats inside?!?! I sunk my teeth into that egg and found out it was rotten! All sour and yucky and I did not like it one bit. Turns out its something called a lime and there wasn't anything good inside. If that's an ingredient in tonight's dinner then you can count me out of looking for a few table scraps. I don't care I there is chicken involved or not!I hope everyone had a happy and adventurous day like me! Love,Your favorite Easter "Rue"bbit"The stories included in this volume are from her fan page https://www.facebook.com/SuperRueDoxie
