Secrets
~~~~~
“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”

~ Roald Dahl, The Minpins.

There does need to be more stories about MinPins in the world...

Personally, because I'm easily amused, I like sitting Squidge on top of her toy bear, so I can start singing:

Whoa, we're halfway there,
Whoa-oh...

So precious! Minpins are mischievous little devils, aren’t they?

I have minpins, so we always have to shovel so they don't drown in the snow, one of them refuses to 💩 where it's shoveled, and then as snow is up his ass, looks so confused! Every Time 😂

When I got smol dog, I was told, "Although MinPins are small, they aren't lapdogs."

Considering that she's currently snuggled up in her blanket on my knee, I beg to differ. This little beast loves nothing more than cuddling.

depends on the info. If it’s about dogs, then did you know that the miniature pinscher is actually not related to the doberman pinscher at all; in fact, it is an older breed. Both ARE developed in Germany, but centuries apart!
I’d say minpins are more related to the dachshund, really. B-

Before I was a cat person, I was a dog person. Minpins and chihuahuas. They are so loving and protective.

I’ve had three minpins over the years that all developed diabetes. They all developed cataracts after about a year of starting insulin. It has also been a challenge maintaining the right dosage. However they learned to adapt and continued to be their spunky selves ☺️

So, when I did a list of things that scared me about a month ago, I listed an audio recording of the Minpins which I couldn't find on YouTube then but it's been uploaded now and... well here's the sound that gave me the chills.

Happy 10th birthday to my sweet, beautiful brats! Max and Lucy drive me up a wall sometimes, but I can't imagine the last ten years without them. Where has the time gone?! #DogsOfBluesky #FurBabies #MinPins

The Gruncher from The Minpins.

Specifically, an audiobook that used sound effects and Shostakovich music. The sounds made by the monster in question were really unnerving especially given the setting of an empty forest. Roald Dahl's last book and probably one of his creepiest.

My aunt raised show dogs for decades, mostly MinPins so barely any fur. She ended up with 1 standard and 1 mini poodle from a lady who couldn’t show anymore. They need to be groomed kinda regularly and about the 4-5th month of having them her regular groomer lady was out of town. Her daughter in

Same. So wonderful. A friend of mine is a member of Greyhound Rescue and has 2 Greyhounds. Sweet dogs!!
Over the years, I adopted/rescued 10 dogs (not at the same time😄).
3 mix-breeds, 2 Minpins, 2 Dachshunds, a Chihuahua, a Catahoula, and Tasha, my first Beagle.

Lulu’s face is finally getting back to normal. You can see the scab over her eye where she was bitten. Poor baby is still dealing with an infection and if she is going to keep her left eye.

Lulu is home!! 🎉🎊🙌 She still is quite swollen from the snake bite (as you can see from the side by side pictures) and her left eye is questionable but at least she can rest and recover at home. #minpins #minpinsofbluesky #dogsofbluesky
