It seems as if all the great Chincoteague ponies have Dachshund side-kicks! Alex&#8217;s likeness was even featured on the cover of &#8220;Wagging Tales&#8221; &#8211; an album of dogs by author Marguerite Henry.<\/p>\n<p>A friend sent me a link to photos of Misty of Chincoteague that appeared in <a href=\"http:\/\/books.google.com\/books?id=Nz8EAAAAMBAJ&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;source=gbs_v2_summary_r&amp;cad=0#v=onepage&amp;q=&amp;f=false\" target=\"_blank\">LIFE magazine, June 10, 1957<\/a>. The photos were taken as Misty was loading up and leaving her Illinois home as Author and owner, Marguerite Henry, said good bye. Misty was headed to Chincoteague in order to have her colt.<\/p>\n<p>Of course I was immediately drawn to the photos of Misty and her pal Alex, as it reminds me so much of the special friendship that my own Chincoteague Minnow and<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Ammo-the-Dachshund\/180722271918\" target=\"_blank\"> Ammo the Dachshund<\/a> share. (and just to be clear I did not become a Dachshund owner because of Misty &#8211; purely a coincidence). <a href=\"http:\/\/trickponies.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/02\/7c0bddd1548bb502_large.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1023\" title=\"misty\" src=\"http:\/\/trickponies.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/02\/7c0bddd1548bb502_large.jpg?w=300&#038;resize=300%2C198\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"198\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As I leafed through all of the LIFE magazine photos I fantasized how neat it would be to recreate many of Misty&#8217;s old photographs with Minnow (and Ammo too) for a book. Although when I showed my husband the photos of Misty inside of Marguerite Henry&#8217;s house (she apparently was only allowed in on Holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas) &#8211; he didn&#8217;t seem to like my idea of recreating the photos so much!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/trickponies.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/02\/21dbc5ad7c8a7635_large.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"
