Here, Schnappsie the Doxie showcases what is meant by doxie moxie in hilarious color photographs of every type of dachshund in all kinds of stubborn and audacious scenarios paired with text on being pluckyu, dauntless, and as tough (and sweet) as a doxie.

"Ellen Glasgow considered Vein of Iron, published in 1935, to be her best work. "No novel has ever meant quite so much to me," she wrote a friend. The critics agreed; the book was favorably reviewed on the front page of the New York Times Book Review and outsold all but one other work of fiction in the year of its publication." "Opening in the years just before the First World War and laid in the Valley of Virginia, the book traces the experience of a family with four generations of strong women. Faced with a crisis when the bread-winner, a philosopher-minister, is defrocked for his unorthodox views, the women provide the "vein of iron" which carries the family through removal to Richmond (Queensboro in the book), through war and depression until the final return to the mountains."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

"That's a dangerous fellow, Stuart," remarked Baldwin Carr, who had unperceived entered the library, and, over his nephew's shoulder, read the title: "Thus Spake Zarathustra." Stuart Heron laid down the ponderous volume of Nietzsche, and smiled up lazily at his juvenile uncle-by-marriage: "Oh, we're a depraved family! Not half an hour ago I caught Babs behind the drawing-room screen, reading Ella Wheeler Wilcox." Baldwin looked startled. "Isn't that all right? I myself gave it to the child; the complete edition, bound in white vellum." "We'll send old Nietzsche to be bound in white vellum, and rob him of his sting." "And this man is just as bad"; Baldwin ignored his nephew's flippancy, and discontentedly flicked over the pages of Bernard Shaw's "Getting Married," which he had picked up from the floor beside the arm-chair. "They're both mad, stark staring mad, master and disciple."
