I Mets A New Doxie Friend Yesterday.

Hi all. Sasha is here.  Yesterday was an exciting day.  Mr. Bandit came over to visit for the first time.  He is the new rescued boy Miss Suz gots.  You knows my play date buddies Zuke, Frito, and Peewee.  Well, they have a new brother.  He came over to my house with his mommy for us to play. 

Well, after the initial sniffs, meet and greets.  I tried to get him zooming.  But apparently, he was more interested in exploring my turf and of course peeing on all Charlie's favorite spots. 

We took a break for some kibbles and you can see I sit very pretty for my turn for the yummies.

But, then, a doxie can only wait so long you know.

I think he kind of looks like me.  Except, he has white/grayish speckles mixed in his smoothie fur. 

I hopes next time maybe Bandit will play a bit more when he comes over.  I likes to zoomie with my fellow doxies you know.

I Gots New Bling In The Mail.

Sasha here.  Mommy surprised me with a awesome pawsome new ID tag (or collar bling as I likes to call it).  It came in a pretty little paw print bag.  I was trying to figure out how to open it and not rip the bag you know.

I could so use this cute bag again for something.  Not sure, what, but I knows I will use it for something.  Then, there was this awesome business card attached. 

Mommy was so kind to open the package since she had thumbs and all.  Those humans do come in handy with those thumbs sometimes. 

Hey, this tag looks a bit familiar.  I thinks I have seen that face somewhere before.  I just can't place it.

The back has my name and phone number in case I get lost.  Like I would ever get lost.  I have GPS (Global Positioning Sniffer) you know.  But, it is good to have as a backup in case the sniffer goes on the frits.

You knows if I move my face downward just like the tag.  I do thinks I recognize that face a bit more.  Whatcha think?  Does it look like me?

Mommy gots this tag at PoochTags on Etsy.  Please, checks that shop out.  There is lots of dog breed face key chains and other cute tags needing a new home. 

Now, off to brags a little to my big brother Charlie that I gots a new tag and he didn't.  It is only because you can still read all the lettering on his blue bone tag, but I will tell him it is because mommy likes me better. heehee.  I loves messing with my big brother's head.

Dachshund Bed Making Service Part One

Hi all.  Mommy treated me to a day at the groomer's yesterday.  Even though I didn't like the bath, the peeps there really spoil me.  I gets lots of attention and a much needed pawfessional pedicure.  So I decided to help her out, by making the bed.  You see when me and Charlie are off at the groomer's, Mommy keeps busy by washing the bedding, blankets, and toys.  She had the blankies all nice and warm for us when we got home.  Straight from the dryer.  Gots to love that you know. 

As I was saying, I decided to make the bed.  I got all the pillow cases on without getting stuck inside one this time, but thought hey these are making a nice little fort. So I hid for awhile, until mommy called me to let me know the bottom sheet was coming out of the dryer.

So I put my pillow fort away for awhile, and started to wiener wrestle this nasty sheet on the bed.

Darn Fitted Sheets!

After getting it on in the wrong direction twice, I was getting a bit tired and furstrated.

So I felt a nap was in order.  To Be Continued.

I Is Cold And Mommy Is....

Sasha here. I is cold and not wanting winter to come this year. I have been spending lots of time in my blankie and snuggled with my big brother Charlie.

Mommy is working on new crafts and totally ignoring me. She is already starting on Valentine's and we haven't even had the big feast that leads to the turkey sleepies yet. Then, there is Santa Paw's visit still, too. She is rushing things way too fast for my liking.

Can you believe she is actually making non-doxie items now, too! I am not happy at all about that. I mean really doxies are the best. I think the squirrels have gotten to her mind some how. I might have to look for something to unbrainwash my mommy. Any suggestions?

Mommy Has Got Something New And Blue!

A package came in the mail today and it wasn't for me. I thought the package was for me cause it smelled like the place that I gets my squeakie bones from. I was all excited while mommy opened it, and out popped what I thought was a collar. I kept thinking mommy I wears red collars not blue. And I knows mommy wouldn't get Charlie a new collar and not me. So she took it out and I saw a problem right away with that blue collar. It was way too small for either me or Charlie. Then, mommy puts it on her wrist. OK, humans are silly why do they need a dog collar for their wrist. You knows know ones going to return them if they get lost cause they don't get lost. Well, at least, until they are really old like great grandma or really young like the human pups. But, anyways, I figures I ought to check this blue thing out a bit more.

Then, I smelled it. Super Stuffer made these. He is my super hero that stuffs my squeakie bones. I knew it smelt familiar.

Then, I gots a bit sad. Super Stuffer is not stuffing doggy toys anymore!!! No!!

Then, mommy held my paw a bit. She told me not to worry so much cause he is Super Stuffer he can make doggy toys and bracelets at the same time. I sniffed a bit and thought about it. Yep, he could. Besides, he needs a secret identity I suppose.

Super Stuffer and The Wife from TheHubbyShop, Mommy says thank you for the new bracelet. She loves it.

Dog Of The Flies

Now, that my garden guarding days are done for the year. I think I may have to be called Dog Of The Flies!

Labor Day. I is back.

Hi all.

My paw is all healed up now, and I can type better and all now. My nail still hasn't grown back, but I don't mind. One less nail to get trimmed with the metal nail biter thing. I haven't gotten on recently because Mommy is always on here. Really, I wait so patiently in my computer chair for a turn, and next thing you know I am asleep and she is still on it. Humans they need to learn how to share the computer. Well, I will do my best at popping on and off here when I can cause I have really missed blogging. Doxie kisses to you all and eat lots of BBQ today. Labor day I think is like a national grilling day or something. I best go supervise the BBQ preparations. Sasha.

How to punish your human for the B-word.

OK. Most folks know my human has a nasty habit of giving me the B-word (bath). I got one today and I didn't really need it. She said it was because I was going to the vet tomorrow for my shots. Really, vets have smelled dogs before and I am sure my aroma wasn't near as pungent as others. But, anyways, I think it was time to teach her a lesson since the shaking and completely soaking her and the bathroom with wet dog hair wasn't working. This is what I did and please, dogs out there feel free to use this technique to keep these humans from bathing us for no decent reason.

1.) After the bath, turn your back on the human that gave it to you.

2.) Give the human a brief glance and then turn your head and shut your eyes. As if to say, "Nope, still mad at you. I can't even look at you right now."

3.) After a period of time, turn to face them, but don't look them in the eye. This really lays on the guilt. Trust me on this one.

4.) After another wee bit of time, roll around on the carpet having the time of your life. It serves multiple purposes. One, it gets that arful doggy shampoo smell off. Plus, it helps get some of the remaining water, and it shows the human you can have a good time without her.



5.) When the human makes an attempt to join in on play, freeze. And don't play with her even if she sneaks in with a foot rub.

At this point the human usually takes a time out in another room, that is when you come in for her emotional weak spot.

6.) I forgives you now. Can I have some cheese, please!

Mommy has been crafting again.

Mommy is working on a new style of cards. She has been cutting paper with scissors and these sharp little knives. Then, drawing the cute little wiener dogs on after she is done cutting. I is thinking the days of Sasha photo cards are almost over. Am I being replaced?

Sasha how does your garden grow?

Hi all. Spring has arrived and Mommy has lots of things smelling so good that I have been stopping to sniff the flowers. Oh, and soon we will be growing our own food, too. Mommy has corn, peppers, cucumbers, strawberries, and tomatoes in these grow boxes. I am so hoping they work cause it means more food for me to beg for. heehee. But, I do see a feathered friend looking a little too pleased with my garden. Off to go chase it away. Woof woof bark bark.
