Dachshund Team Spot Light: woodnwonders

OK. Not much new here other than me trying to eat cupcakes. But, mommy caught me on the table before I could nab one. Oh, what a doxie has to do around here to get good eats.

Today, we are featuring one of the members of our Dachshund Team. His name is Tony and yes he is my Oscar's daddy. But, that doesn't matter cause he still needs sales. His wooden art pieces are so cool that I am spreading the bark about them. My favorites are the dachshund leash holder and the smooth coat dachshund in his other ETSY shop shown in the pictures above. He has two etsy shops, woodnwonders and tonysportriatsbywood. Please, visit him and give him some love. Your friendly dachshund, Sasha.

The Great Donut Caper!

Sasha here.

I pulled off a great donut hole theft yesterday. Great Grandma was munching on her favorite treat donut holes. She got up to go the bathroom, and I took my chance. One giant doxie leap and off came the box of donut holes. I ate quick cause here came Mommy grabbing up the box and as many donut holes as she could grab before I got too many more. She fussed at me, but it was so worth it. You can't blame a doxie for taking the chance to get a good treat right. Hey, in doggy terms when you leave your food, it is fair game for the rest of the pack to get a chance.

Mommy has been working on her crafting. She has made a few new cards. She made some Easter cards and a birthday one. Hopefully, they will be in her Etsy store later this week. I will post pictures of me and some of mommy's creations.

Dachshund Team chat today!

Hi all,

Sasha here. We are having our first Etsy Dachshund Team chat at 4:oo pacific time and 7 pm eastern time. I am so excited. I wonder if other wiener dogs will be in attendance. I sure hope my prince Oscar makes it. Mommy says the humans have a lot to talk about so us doxies might not get much chatting done, but we can hope can't we.

Mommy also got two treasuries one in main treasury and one in treasury west last night. The treasury west opened first so we made that the wiener dog one this time called Love Ya Longer! The main treasury opened about 45 minutes after that one and so mommy did a doggy themed one called I Woof You! We could use clicks and views on both, but we know that the chances are slim to none on getting on the front page. I personally don't get how bunnies and squirrels have more PR agents than us cute little wiener dogs. Oh, well. we know the artists in the treasuries would love some views.

I am posting more cute pics of me in the sunshine. Mommy thinks that I am such a diva, but really when you got the cuteness you have to flaunt it. heehee

Sunny days inside, but cold outside!

Sasha here.

I have been enjoying the sunshine through the living room window. We get a good hour or two in the morning of lapping up all the sunshine we could get. Then, I am am thinking ooh, spring is here, and well I go outside and freeze by butt off. brrr.... This is so not right. Good news are the birds have been busy lately getting moss from grandmas platters. So maybe spring is getting close. Anyone have connections with the ground hog? Well, off to get more sunning in. Take care all, Sasha.

Play date at Frito's house!.

Sasha here,

I had a play date at Frito's house and a trip to the post office today. Frito is one of my dachshund neighbor's and he has three doxie siblings (Zuke, Peewee (is Frito's bio mom actually), and Gypsy) so I really get to bond with my fellow wiener dogs while I am there. There was the minor issue of a pee spot on the carpet, but I ain't confessing. I just ran when the carpet cleaner comes out just in case I get blamed. Our Mommies didn't see who did it. And, mommy told me it better not have been me on the way back home. She felt bad that it happened already, and if it was me than she would be very embarrassed. Well, the morning play date continued with zoomies, and pets, and sunning time by the big window, and nap time in mommy's lap. Oh, it was a great morning. Now, these are the days we wiener dogs live for. Thank you Miss Suz and the red wagon wieners for such a great play date. I am including pics of my visit. Off to rest up from my busy day. Sasha.

A Dog's Thoughts on the New President!

Sasha here,

Today was pretty special for the humans in America. With a new president and all the hopes for a better tomorrow and all. However from a dog's point of view, I wonder a few things. One this Alfa male is now in charge of a whole country. How is he ever going to mark all that turf. I mean my brother Charlie and I do our best just to mark our back yard in a day's work, but there are billions of backyards out there. He better start drinking a lot of water. I just don't see it. Second, the promise of a dog when they move to the white house. I know it is his first day and all, but I saw no dog getting a happy home today. He better deliver on that one for sure. We dogs can be powerful promoters in the next election. Third, I have scene many humans in my almost two years of life promise treats for doing a few tricks. Is this what we are in for, or is it a major upgrade on the kibble food scale coming.

Well, I know this country is in some major trouble, and I wish this new guy a lot of luck. And I am willing to dig in and lend a paw any way that I can. Heck I can mark my own turf twice a day if that is what it takes. Mommy you might have to refill the water bowl more often.

Well, Mommy and me made a treasury west today in honor of our new president with the simple title Obama's Dog? These may be a few special doggy related accessories the first dog and family may need upon arriving at the white house. Well, off to bed. I gots a play date tomorrow. Woohoo!

The Mess in the Bed at 2 am!

Sasha here.

Yes, I admit it. I threw up in the bed this morning. Mommy was not happy with completely making a new bed at 2 am, and I was very sorry. And my mommy knew that. She gave me loves and some bites of bread to help my tummy feel better, and it did. I was fine by breakfast.

So in between washing sheets, blankets, bed spread, covers, etc. Mommy got another treasury. Woohoo! This one is very different and designed to help all the human guys out there not have to share the crate with us dogs on Valentine's day. It is called What A Girl Wants? Hint, you ladies out there ought to send a link of this to all your guys. My crate ain't big enough for a daddy in there, too. She also, managed to post her paw print gift tags/mini bookmarks today. They are made from recycled materials of wall paper and old business cards.

Well, that is about it. I will post a picture of the paw print gift tag and see if I can find a cute one of me for getting your Sasha fix. Night all.
