In a rush

This morning I made Mom get up super early. I wanted to start my day! It was an interesting day. I got to go for a ride in the car to visit Grandpa! Dad and AT were digging a hole for his birthday tree. Then Grandpa came over for dinner so I got to see him again. Mom got a new pet. I haven't really seen him, he's good at hiding. His name is Mr. Freckles and he lives in a big tub of water outside with a plant in it. Whenever I look in to say hello, he hides under the plant.

A fun fun day playing Lion Tamer!

I was sitting with Dad in the living room when I heard a dog outside! It was my neighbor Max! I begged Dad to take me outside to see him and I promised Dad that if Max came in the backyard I would play nice and not cut his ear like last time. Dad got up and we went outside to see Max. Mom was already there petting him. Finally Dad asked Max's brother if they would like to come in the backyard and he said yes! Yay! Fun in the backyard! Mom took some videos of course!

Max and I played lion tamer! He would open his mouth and I would stick my head in it! It was fun. I jumped all over him and he would squash me down with his paw! (I don't know how he learned that trick from my bff Rigby!)

Antlers rule!

Yesterday I got to see my Aunt Michelle. I was so happy that I even stopped gnawing on my antler. I only got it Tuesday, but I've already chomped about 2 inches off it! If Mom would let me have it in the kitchen or in my crate it would be all gone!

ANTLER!

 So last night, the best surprise of all (besides being home) was a new antler! Sadly it was not as big as the one Mom showed me a photo off. Dad transferred the power for me, so I could dig right in!

I was sad to leave it downstairs last night.
    This morning when Mom got up and brought me outside, I tried to make a side trip for my antler (to no avail) as she dragged me out the door,.

Back from vacation!

Mom, Dad, AT and myself (of course-cause who can resist adorable me and leave me at home!) just got back from vacation. I am very happy to be home, with my normal smells, and my normal large crate and all toys. First we went for a very long car trip. Even though AT was in back with me, it was still a looooooooooooooong trip (and I am a dachshund and know LONG!). Finally we got there. Mom made me go into a room that was very scary and moved up and down. I did not like it. Then we went into a room with beds. These beds were lower than Mom's bed at home and I could jump on them! I walked around exploring all the new smells when suddenly I saw Mom with my old crate! I hate that crate! I barked at her and at the crate. Mom's response? They stuck me in the bathroom, closed the door and left! I was sad. Hours later they returned and Mom make me go back into the moving room. It's like magic, but bad. You go in at one place and when the door opens again you are somewhere else! We went for a walk and then got back into the moving room. Mom made me sleep in my old small crate. I did not appreciate it.
         The next morning, we got back in the car. A while later we got out of the car and went to a place that smelled like dogs, but there were no dogs there! Apparently I was the first of the day.

 Then they left me all alone there! They reappeared for a while and gave me a walk and some baby carrots and blueberries but then they stuck me back in that place!
       Finally they came back and we went to the car. I was relieved to be with them again. We went back in the moving room and then, I couldn't believe it, they locked me in the bathroom again and left. They came back eventually and we went for a walk where I tried to catch a small bunny , but Mom is too slow.
      The next morning, back to the car. They made a bunch of stops but I wasn't allowed out! Then Mom showed me a photo of the best antler in the WORLD! I hope she bought me one!

AT is back!

It was a big surprise! AT is back! Mom let me into the backyard and I found him there!

I was very happy to see him! He had been gone for a long time. When we came inside he ran upstairs. I did not like this, so I ran around looking for him, then ran upstairs. I thought he was in my room so I went in the wrong direction. Then I turned around and ran into his room and there he was!

This morning I got to run into his room and jump on the bed to wake him up. That was fun too. But the best part of the day is that I was vindicated! Dad found Mom's watch!

Just you try to escape

This morning Mom was hanging out in the kitchen with me. I like that cause then I have company while I'm eating! She even gave me some apple with my kibble! And tiny piece of cheese-she is very chinzy with the cheese! Anyway, I was lying under her chair with my chin propped up on the chair leg when she decided to get up. Where does she think she is going, I thought. So I jumped up to follow her. She was in the process of climbing over the gate when I did my patented "Mecki back of the knee thump" on her. This made her flip flop fall off! I grabbed it so she would be force to come back into the kitchen.  She chased me around for a while and finally caught me and retrieved her flip flop. It was a lot of fun. Then she told me that I was going to have a BIG surprise today. I wonder what it is?
