Walkies

We don't even go on walkies a lot cause, we don't even have a place to walk in our nayborhood. Cause we don't even have any sidewalks or nuttin and mom doesn't want us ta get runned over by a cars or sometin. Sooo she looked around on the intranet and finds a place dat is only a little bit away from our house. And den she puts all of us in the car. (this was last week cause we had so many peoples in our own yard) and we got out at this place call ed the "Nature Center". Only thing was I didn't even see a bunch of nature!!! 


Anyway mom was real happy cause I stayed quiet when we passed people. Well except fur those llittle people dat came running to me even though mom told them I wasn't friendly. All dey said was "Which one is friendly!?" And den mom hadta Hoolldd me back! woof!! 


Butt den we met them again!...and they did the same thing Again!!! Mom wus seriwously scratchin her head bout dat one! Anyway next I vote we leaves Bubbles at home cause BOY was she SLOW! OMD! We had to keep walkin like a very slow animal that i can't think of right now. Anywoofs I can't wait till we go backs!

Mom's Cell Phone Picktures

left, left, left, right, left.....

Yeah. Cheese.Whatever lets move on all ready!

This is me and pompei speed walkin

Oh what is dis?! 

*tap tap*

GASP! Its been 5 WHOLE DAYS since I posted last!! Believe me, my Google Reader is scary! (200 unread pots!)
Yeah, we're still alive and kicking, its just been an extremely hectic week, if you follow my personal blog (I Should Be Studying) you know, that my schedule has been crammed with our church's annual camp meeting, work, school and keeping Texas from biting our few hundred guest traipsing around our yard.

For my new followers here's the back story on Texas (Reactivity  and How We Got Texas)

It wasn't as much of a job as I'd imagined (read:stressed about) it would be, but there were several times I did have to give out some strong warnings, to people NOT.TOO.APPROACH. Though he did latch onto a surprise house guests shoe, no harm was done, and we were able to reintroduce them properly and haven't had any issues since. Texas is a dog, you can't "make friends with" and have to completely pretend he doesn't exists. Thankfully Laura, was not intimidated by Texas's initial greeting, and complied to the rules PERFECTLY. By the next morning Texas hopped on the couch (where she was sleeping) and woke her as only a dachshund can. Yep with lots of kisses. That pretty much lets me know he's as comfortable as he can get, he continued to demonstrate that over the weekend, and installed himself in her lap whenever possible.

*phew*

Now I do have to warn you all, now that school is starting to move into 2nd gear, posting will be very sporadic! As much as I'd love to convince myself I can multitask...sometimes its not possible! That and their won't be too many dog photos (gasp!!) as my camera will be other wise engaged.

Blast from the Past

How NOT To Greet A Dog

Hey Guys, 
So mom found dis, great poster on the intranet and said she just "had" ta spread it around so that lots of people could see dis. A lots of people thinks, cause I'm little dat they can pet me, but NEWS FLASH I don't even like my own mom doin much pettin other than a belly rubs. 

Howevers, mom does want to say dat, if started early you can teach a dog to  tolerate or even like the first six "bad" ways,  (dat would be Pompei) but especially with us little guys, its very scary for a big human to lean over us like dis!!! (Me an Bubbles don't like it, Bubbles will just pee and..me.. well I grab dat big fatty thing that sticks outta dare face and dat teaches them)

Ok mom says not to tell people dat cause I never have done THAT spasific thing. 

Phooey.

BUTT I would if they wouldn't even move their heads back fast enough.

A Song (Again)

A Letter

Dear Texas and Bubbles.

How are you? Truthfully I hope your stomachs are in little knots, but that would sound mean, and Bunny might really go with her offer about calling ASPCA! I trust you enjoyed BOTH your dinners tonight, despite the fact that ONE Of them was NOT YOURS. I really have no clue how you managed to get your short little legs on my DESK. TEXAS...but you can believe I was not happy to see Bubbles scarfing down the remains of my dinner. Lucky you, you already had your dinner, so you can't go to bed with out it. :-p

Signed 

Your very annoyed. 

Mom

9/11 - Dog Heros

I wasn't even borned yet and mom was only 12 when it happened. She didn't even know it happened cause she was hiking with a group up the mountain. But when the got back her mom was crying and stuffs and they didn't even know what  had happened. All she knowed was somethin bad had happened and it filled her with lots of scaredness. And then they saw all the pictures in the paper and on the internet, and she was super scared. Especially cause those metal birds stopped flying around for a while.

Mom said there was a lots of brave people and service dogs (sorta like me cept they did a different job) and here is a video about them.

Oh you might wanna get your tissues out too!

The Story of My Eye by Texas

*ahem*

The story of my eye

Disclaimer: The following story may or may not be true. Reader discretion is advised. - Blog Management

Once apon a time,far,far away was a little (an very cute) doxie named Texas. Ok so I don't know if my name was Texas yet den, butt for the purrpose of dis story it is  *ahem* He was a mini doxie who lived with his human woman person and human man person I can't even call dem mom and dad cause they weren't good dog persons.and a rottieweiler named .....we'll call him Methuselah. <-Cause he was real old and crachity.Ok fine so I don't even knowed dat either but it sounds good.  Anyway I prolly was like 8 weeks-old when i came into their house an lived wit them for a while. Yeep don't even remember all dat either! So anywhoo I lived dear for a while but once again dey didn't even feed me enough, so one day I got up my courage and faced my fears. I snuck some food from Methuselah's bowl. SCORE!! He didn't even see me I was so quick, dat food was some of da best food ever,and so much more better den the stuffs I was getting, so I did it again. I went fur a week eating good until that fateful day in....um.. prolly Oct 2008. I was going in fur da kill and all of the sudden my whole left ..or is it right? ... anyway, all of the sudden my whole left face was burning there was growling, i can hear my shrieks of pain (Note from Erin: With the way this little dog can scream no doubt they thought he was at deaths door) before everything went black.


When I woked up dear was peoples leaning over me, there was things stickin outta of me and human woman and human man were NO.WHERE.TO.BE.SEEN. I was ALLLL alone. Scariest thing of my whole life. And ta top it off I was missin my man hood!!!! 
So you can guess dat I was not feeling my best towards other dogs and humans. Especially when human woman and human dad didn't even come back to get me!!!
YEP you read it right dey LEFT ME AT DA ANIMAL HOSPITAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Well da vet tech lady there was really nice and took me home and got me back on my feets,and i got ta play with my dogmate Ellie May. BUt den i found out Vet-Mom couldn't even keep me either!!!! 

See does scars on my face? dats where dey sticked my head back together.

What in da world was a dog supposed ta do? I was a dog without no home. But den one day Vet-Mom took me too a doggie daycare place, dat was right below da "Emergancy Animal Hospital" and guess who worked dear?!?!?! Didya guess Mom? Yeppers mom worked dear and felled in love wit me RIGHT AWAY. 

{Me at da daycare place}

Butt at dat time she had a guide dog puppy named Midnight an Grandpa didn't even want her ta get anymore puppies at da moment cause she was supposed to be moving to another state. Butt mom knew dat I was da one for her, so she was real sneaky and just showed Grandpa a pic of me, cause she knowed he was a sucker for dachshunds. And guess what?!? It worked!!!! So den I came and lived with her forever and ever amen.


The End

Foodies

So yeah. Thanks  all to those who called PETA and ASPCA about mom starvin me the other day. She has "seen da light" and gots us some more foodies so we won't be too starvin. An i thinks they talked to her bouts gettin me some more treats and stuffs buttt i was too busy eating my FIRST meal since last night  three months ago to care. It was heaven i tells you. If you have never been starves den you don't even know. *sniff* Makes me a *very manly dude* get all weepy. 

Anyways she gots me um.... "Pure Vita Naturals" which is not the stuffs we normally likes ta eat, butt the petstore place (not the big petstore the little one) didn't even have our "Wellness" stuff so mom hads to buy this. Its still tastes good butt mom doesn't like dat it has so much grains stuff.

Pompei has ta eat the "natural balance" stuff cause da other Purina One made him itch and itch an itch and itch some way more. Soo dat didn't make mom happy, so she went to those people was like "you BETTA let me........ "Can we please switch Pompei to the good stuff?" And dey say "Yes" so den mom ran out and got some food.

Oops dats of course, after the Peta peoples came and told her too course. :))

Um.....oh looks it time for my mid-morning-naps!

BAYL!!

PS. (Mom will be writtin my story about how I losted my eye cause aPARENTly she didn't even tell you guys how dat happen. Um...its not pretty but I hopes dat you really gets sometin powerful from my story of survival and reesilliance in a tough, tough, tough situatoin. Dat is what I was meant to do I thinks *sniffs* )

PPS (mom didn't even get me nuttin for her own birthday. She said I could either get a collar or new breaks. WELL I CAN"T HELP YOU BUSTED YOUR CAR LADY!!!?? she went wit da breaks if you didn't guess it)
