I'm a Featured Diary

Wow! I don't remember ever being picked before. This is so cool!
Well I am doing great. Mom says I need to be on a diet. Rrrrrr I like to eat. I don't want to be on a diet. I really love my mom but when she starts talking D I E T it is not something that makes me happy.
Mom left and came home with another tiny dog. Her name is Millie and she is strange. She walks in circles, round and round or she sleeps. Mom said she was a crated dog her whole life and dogs who have to live in crates get "Kennel Crazed". Poor little girl. She is scared of everyone. Can you imagine a dog being scared of my mom and dad? Wow! She also is scared to walk on our floors. Mom said we need to be very patient with her and "give her time and space". OK She is going to another foster home this weekend with all Chihuahuas. Maybe she won't be so scared there. Mom let her sleep with her last night. That seems to have helped her to feel safer. My mom is really a dog person. I was scared when she and dad rescued me and my family. She showed me she loved me and now I am not scare of anything, ALMOST. :)

My Diary

Mom doesn't write in my diary much anymore. I think she is just wishing nobody would notice I am here. hahaha She loves me so much and I love her back and 100 times more. I really don't think I will ever leave here. Last night I was curled up in a bed and dad said "Look at your boy". Mom said "I love him so much it almost hurts. I will never let him be adopted". That's it! I'm here forever or till Jesus calls my name or her name.

I am the only Dachshund here now except Heidi who is a mix. Mom almost took in 3 at once from a kill shelter in another city. Luckly someone in rescue took them in there. All have heart worms and will need treatment for that. All 3 were boys and left at the shelter by a breeder. In fact I heard mom say they lefet 3 boys and 3 girls. The 3 girls went to a rescue but looked like nobody was going to save the boys till the last minute. Mom was so upset about them. Well they are safe now.

We had gotter down in numbers here. Dad has to go for surgery to repair a hernia. Several of my dog room mates have had a hernia. Little Tiffany had one repaired when she was living here. Mom wants to be able to take care dad really well. :) We love our dad.

Mom ran out Tuesday and came back with Sierra. She is a tiny little long haired Chi. She sure is cute. Mom said she is only staying with us till she gets in for a spay on Monday and then going to a longer term foster home. Ya right! She is mom's shadow and sticks to her like velcro. We will see I guess.

Diary Pick 4/30/13

Well I am all over the dental cleaning and finished the antibiotic I had to take. It was not so bad till right at the end. Would you believe Bentley and I had a BATH and nails cut, ears cleaned and our teeth cleaned. That realaxer shot we had sure worked. When all that stuff was done we took a nap and then I was 100% awake and the lady wanted to take me out. I told her NO WAY! She didn't listen so I gave her a warning grawl and a snap. She left me alone. Then later Dad came in and got me. I heard mom's voice and I was so excited. When dad came in to get me I was so happy. The lady took Bentley out of his kennel and walked around the office with him. I said NO and stayed in my kennel.It's all over for another year now. Thank Goodness!

Diary Pick! Wow that Dogster team sure knows how to make a guy feel happy. I needed something to make me smile. Mom's been upset for 24 hours. She knows of 5 beautiful Dachshunds who are in a kill shelter. They all have heart worms and the shelter won't adopt them out so only a rescue group can save them. Mom is sending their pictures and story to all her rescue friends asking them to please help them. She wants to go get one little girl to take Kate's space here but she cries when she thinks about it. She said she does not know how to go get ONE and leave 4 of her family members to die. There are just too many of us here already so she can't take all 5. Poor family. Poor mom. Why don't people fix their dogs?

Dental Day!

The vet changed us to today for cleaning our teeth. Poor Bentley is so scared. His teeth need cleaning and so do mine. Mom is trying to help us but Bentley is scared he is being sent away for good. I'm trying to make him feel better. They gave us a shot to relax us and it is helping me but Bentley is shaking all over. I'm trying to be the big boy here. I had to be the protector of my family for weeks once long ago. They mom and dad came and rescued us. The rest of my family has all been adopted and are happy. It's just me and my foster family now. I'm scared too but I will just bite the people if I get too scared. That always makes humans back off. Of course mom gets upset when I do that so I have learned not to do it unless I am realy upset. At least I know mom and dad are coming back to get us.

I'm going to ...

I'm going to get my teeth cleaned at the vet tomorrow. Bentley has to come too. Mom has really got a problem about us having baths but getting teeth cleaned seems a bit strange to me. I really don't want to go. She is not giving us a choice. So I will be as good as I can just cause I love my mom so much.

Mom really loves me.

I know my mom really loves me. I have this problem. See I can't hold my weewee. When I get scared or excited my weewee just comes out. Mom says we have to keep working to stop that but we have been working on it for almost a year now and I still can't stop it. It's real embarrrrrrassing. I try to hold it. I do the relax exercise me tells me to do but it just happens. Yesterday mommy was going to pick me up and I did weewee all over. I got wet with it too. Mommy didn't fuss at me. She picked me up and put me in the bathtub and gave me a warm bubble bath. She dried me off and held me and said I smelled so good. She said my coat shines so pretty. She never said I was a bad boy. I love my mom so much and she loves me too. I been thinking about it and I don't think I am ever going to get adopted. I don't want to!

I have liver

Mommy still loves me. She gave me a piece of chicken liver.....oh man! That's just the mostest yummy thing in the world. I love liver. I decided to try to be nice to Sammy. Even though he is a mess. His fur is still falling out and he is still skinny but not as bad as he was. But ya know he is kind of fun to play with. He chases the roap toy when I run with it. Of course I have to LE him catch me sometimes. He does pull hard. I need to teach him how to run real fast. I can do that. He is kind of funny. I'll be nice to him just to please mommy.

I guess it's time for me to go...

It must be time for me to go to a new home. Last week mommy was mad at me for snapping at people over at Petsmart. She didn't like the way I acted and she told me so! Well now I'm not happy with her. She took a new dog into our house. Ibcant believe she did that. AND Dad let her! This little dog is a mess. He has something nasty cause his hair has fallen out in patches. He's REAL skinny too. On top of that he's a pup. He pooped in the hall........in the house, he did no no in the house. Mom and dad didn't even fuss at him. They told me and my friends we need to be nice to him because he is homeless and needs us. Hummm Well I am not happy about this situation one bit. The very worst part is they hold him and cuddle with the pup and he is getting "special" food. I don't think mom likes me best anymore. This little Sammy guy has just taken my place. I think I'll run away and see how they like that!

Petsmart

I don't like Petsmart! Mom and Dad made me think it was a fun place to go. It's not. I was scared so bad. The lights are different, the smalls and the sounds. There were lots of people and children and dogs there. LOTS of them and they seemed to want to touch me. I didn't want them to touch me. I was scared they would hurt me or TAKE away from my mommy. I snapped at 3 different people. Didn't bite but snapped at them. Mom was NOT happy with me. She said I was not nice. I know she was upset and that nade me feel bad. She and daddy went out to dinner and then when we went to bed last night I gave her a kiss abd cuddled close to her. She cuddled back with me and made kissie sounds on my ear. She said "I love you little man and I understand you were scared today. I know it was all new to you but it is not accaptable for you to snap at people. I would never let anyone hurt you and you have to trust that. I want you to think about today and work on trusting humans for the next time we go to adoption day". I love my mommy and I don't want to get adopted. I don't see how I could be happier somelace else.

I am almost ready.

Mom says I will be ready for adoption soon. She said I need to start working serious on not peeing when people try to pick me up. She says people don't like that. I can't help it. It just comes out when I'm scared. I don't know how to stop it. :-( Mom says she is going to talk with my vet about it and make sure nothing physical is wrong with me. Mom says she loves me no matter what. Funny thing is most of the time when SHE picks me up I don't pee. I love my Mommy and she loves me. I have been trying to help her feel better this week. Bingo is on a trial and it looks like he's getting adopted. Mom has been so sad. She misses little Bingo and so do I. We are happy for him but we miss him.
