Doxie Mom Blanket: A Patchwork for Dachshund Lovers

Doxie Mom Blanket shows a grid of playful dachshund sayings, and the bold center panel reads JUST A GIRL WHO LOVES DACHSHUNDS. The words are a running joke about how much room a wiener dog takes up in a home, and they say it to anyone who gets the reference. Using the throw is a quiet way to celebrate that devotion, and it is made for dachshund people who want their love for the breed on display.

How the design is put together

The artwork is a patchwork of square panels in brown, tan and cream. Each square holds a different saying, such as IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE DACHSHUND YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND and LOVE ME. LOVE MY DACHSHUND. The lettering ranges from heavy block capitals to softer hand-drawn type, so every panel reads differently. A red heart-print sweater dachshund sits in the middle, flanked by hearts and paw prints. Around the edges you will spot a dog lying in a box, a silhouette walking with paw prints, and a sausage dog wearing a sweater. The squares are arranged so the eye moves from one joke to the next, and the center stays the anchor.

Who will enjoy it

You will notice the dachshunds first, then the sayings. Dachshund owners will recognize the habit of the dog standing between them and the couch, and the stubborn charm that these dogs are known for. The panel about a girl and her doxie speaks to anyone who has a dog that follows them from room to room. You can wrap it over the couch on a cold evening, or drape it over your legs while your dog settles in beside you. It fits well in a home where a long-bodied dog already has the best spot.

For gifting

This throw works for birthdays, Christmas, housewarmings and the first night in a new apartment with a new puppy. Give it to a friend who is always sharing photos of her dog, or to a relative who can name every dachshund in your family. Pick the Sherpa Blanket if you want a softer, cozier feel for winter, or the Fleece Throw Blanket for a lighter layer in a warm room.
