A new antler chewing aid

Some days it is very hard to chew on my antler. The best way is when Mom or Dad hold it for me. Otherwise I have to hold it myself and chew-that can be hard. If the front door is open I can stick it in the slot by the screen door. Tonight I found a new way. Mom had taken one of her sandals off and it was on the floor. I dropped my antler in it and it fit perfectly. Finally something to hold my antler while I gnaw! Unfortunately Mom decided that she didn't want her sandal to get all soggy and took it away.

Relaxing on the bed

This morning Mom let me out of my crate. I heard Dad so I ran around the bed to say hello to him. Then I ran back to my crate to get my squeaky toy. I like to have Mom chase me around in the morning. But Mom was quick today and caught me by my crate. She put me up on the bed which is so soft and comfortable. I said hello to Dad and settled down for a snooze. Dad said I was his hot water bottle! Then Mom and I went downstairs for breakfast.

Sneaky Mom

Mom is very sneaky. She is always playing tricks on me. Last night I was hanging out with Dad. I heard Mom's car and then I heard a noise. Mom must be trying to come in the house I thought. So I ran to the front door and barked at it to let her know I was waiting. Then I heard another noise. Mom had snuck in through the kitchen door! So I ran into the kitchen to say hello.

Another bath

Yesterday Dad gave me another bath. And as if that wasn't bad enough, then he stuck a toothbrush in my mouth and tried to brush my teeth. I did not appreciate that! Mom said that she is going away soon and it will just be me and Dad. That is good. We  have FUN together. Mom said to make sure and remember anything fun we did cause Dad won't blog for me and I'll have to let her know when she gets back.

Sad Dog

Last night my Grandma came over. I was very excited and jumped around. Then she left and I was no longer happy. I was feeling very sad. I jumped up on the couch but far away from Mom. Then I lay there and cried. Mom stretched over and grabbed my back foot and held it so I would feel better. She told me to come close to her but I was too sad to move. So she petted my tail and back legs. Then I heard someone at the door so I hurled myself off the couch and protect the house. It was Dad! I was so happy to see him that I bounced all over!  I didn't get to spend a lot of time with him, cause Mom took me out for a walk and up to bed.
    This morning I slowly came out of my crate cause I was still sad. I just let Mom catch me without any fuss. Then I lay on the kitchen floor and cried. Mom felt bad so she gave me some sweet potato in my kibble. I ate that and left the kibble. Then I felt slightly better so I ate the kibble too.

I shall not be MOCKED

Mom is making fun of me again. She and Dad went to the store and when they came back, they were laughing and they showed me why.

How rude is that! Apparently they make something to cut up hotdogs and they make it look like a hotdog! I find that incredibly insensitive. A Dachshund would not cut up a hotdog, it would simply eat it!

And we would not bother with ketchup. A simple bowl of water with ice cubes in it would help wash the hotdog down.

It is all very insulting in my opinion, plus look how starved the poor dog looks-all those hotdog pieces, yet he doesn't get to eat any!

Going for a ride

Today Mom and Dad and I went for a ride! Mom didn't put my harness on but we got in the car anyway! We went to the bank but it wasn't open yet so I didn't get a biscuit. I was very disappointed Then we drove over to by Mom's work and Dad got out of the car. I wanted to get out with him, but Mom wouldn't let me. She rolled the window down so I could look out and watch for Dad to come back. Finally he came back with bagels. They smelled very good (Mom said that was because she got bacon on hers). We went home and Dad gave me a piece of bacon-it was so good. After breakfast, I sat outside with Grandpere.
