MEET THE TEAM
I live with my husband and our two senior mini Dachshunds, Millie Moo and Dolly. After 12 years as a full‑time “sausage mum” and hands‑on experience with IVDD, I founded The Long Dog Hotel to support Dachshunds — especially IVDD mild/moderate survivors. Please take a look at the link below to see how we care for our IVDD pups. You can learn more about our IVDD care at the link below.
Owner- Auntie Sausage
Owner of The Long Dog Hotel, but mostly just tries to keep up with the Directors (Millie Moo and Dolly) who are really in charge around here.
Director- Millie Moo
Millie Moo is 15 years old, a four-times IVDD survivor and a true inspiration! She helps out with paperwork and makes sure anyone who comes to the door is legit. She keeps any stray animals out of the back garden and tends to bark at anything.
Assistant Director- Dolly
Dolly, a 12 year old rescue is a very shy but sweet girl and an IVDD survivor. She assists Millie Moo in welcoming all our guests with lots of sniffs and licks.
Rainbow Pup- Poppy
Poppy was our beautiful dog for nine years. Sadly, due to a terminal cancer diagnosis in 2019, and also her struggles with IVDD, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to let her cross the rainbow bridge. She will be forever missed and always in our hearts. We will love you forever, sweetheart.
Until we meet again xx
