About this event

Calling all Dachshunds, Half-Dachshunds, Part-Dachshunds of any ratio, Wiener Dogs, Sausage Dogs, Hot Dogs, dogs & humans identifying as Dachshunds and owners:

Chilli wants to meet you! Chilli is trying to be more social and meet his cousins and long-lost relatives. Hope you can join us :)

Are your sausage dogs ready to socialize?

Chilli is a 6-year-old short haired dachshund who is ready to meet and walk with your dogs.

Well, ok, he's not vey social but he's not unfriendly either. He does not bite but he's not afraid to show his teeth when you have crossed the line. (His parents though, are very social :D)

Come and meet up with Chilli and friends and their parents in a quiet Walnut Creek trail and let's exercise those little legs.

For those sausages that do not walk far, they can also stay in the meeting spot where parents socialize and chitchat.

EVENT HOSTS: This meetup is hosted by Vince and Leni Pratte, emptynesters and residents of Walnut Creek. They love sausage dogs and would want to own more but not now...maybe in retirement!

Hey, I’m Leni!

In 2007, I received my wake-up call. I was diagnosed with cancer, a period in my life that was so frightening and painful. Our kids were 9 and 3 at that time and I was determined to heal.

Ironically, this blessing in disguise launched my journey of self-healing, exponential growth and Self-discovery.

This was the catalyst that led me to reinvent myself over and over again, peel off layers and release material that no longer served me, to overcome traumas and rise above the shadows, to come home to my authentic self, to become an empty vessel, a channel for Divine expression.

Although I have completed all kinds of certifications in the healing arts, there is no greater teacher than the direct experience of trials, tragedies and tribulations, of which I am grateful for as it has provided opportunities for profound evolutionary growth, challenging me to rise above the chaos of a trauma-filled life.

In my own healing journey, experiencing different levels of Awakening, big and small, came through at different periods of my life - when I had cancer, when I had an identity crisis, when I had an autoimmune issue, when I experienced a series of traumatic events in childhood, young adulthood and in recent years.

It is with great honor and humility that I share with you wisdom and gnoses from decades of life experiences, background and training. This work is my sadhana, and your healing is my healing.
