"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Back in the summer of 2008, while vacationing at The Overleaf Lodge in Yachats, Oregon, with my dear friend Edythe from Cottage Grove, we read fun Tall Tales on our placemats at a local eatery. We went around the tables looking at the various Tall Tales and laughing. "Kizzie," Edythe exclaimed, "this week we will each write our own Tall Tale!" As the week unfolded, each day was more magical than the last. I contemplated how my Tall Tale might reflect the joys of the week. Daily I met new dachshunds and their friendly families, enjoyed beach walks with exceptionally low tides exposing fascinating new sea creatures, and for three days there was a pod of humpback whales that spouted and skimmed just below the ocean surface within easy viewing. I completed Edythe's assignment, both a challenge and a delight. How Dachshunds Came to Be was the fruit of this endeavor and it is dedicated to Edythe Ann Stromme, the kindest of friends and the one who taught me how to be a friend. Deep appreciation to my Writing Sisters: Monda van Hollebeke, Joanne Peterson, Reni Roxas, Julia Eulenberg, Mimi Armstrong, Andra Lawrence, and Edythe Stromme; gifted editor Gretchen Houser; enthusiastic publisher Emily Hill; artistic designer Kathi Humphries; creative illustrator Scott Ward; and my Beloved Thomas Wert who made 'once upon a time' a reality in my life, and our children and their families. Kizzie Jones Illustrator Scott Ward dedicated this book to Ron and Pat who let this goofy kid draw on his walls. Look at what happens!
