Sniff Sniff

Sniffing is what I like to do.. Im a dachie it's my job. I like to sniff the carpet and make mummy anxious in thinking that I am going to pee on it... yeah ok I have done it a few times, it just feels so much better than the cold outdoor ground.. I'm getting better! Mum is letting me stay inside more as it is getting colder now. She says she has bought us some cute pjs off ebay but I don't know about those yet - whatta ya think?:

Knowing her there will be some pics on here of us wearing them soon! She said she has also got us a new indoor bed, I could really get used to this indoor sleeping business.... We had another bed but it was so fun to chew up so we have a pink kennel under the back patio instead. Oh well at least it does not snow here!

Thank god Isaac is asleep he's been really peeving me off lately with his noise and running around the house! Talk about knowing how to stress me out! I might go see what mummy is doing....

TEN REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE A DACHSHUND

Original author unknown, plus rebuttals by Mary Pyle.
Extract From : http://www.dogsites.com.au/internet_library/tenreasons.html


1. He is an ideal companion as a pet. He will follow you, love you, and amuse you all day and every day.

You are graciously allowed to share your bed & board with him. You will trip on him, and watch him laugh at your clumsiness.

2. He is a born sportsman. He will turn his nose to anything above ground, while below ground, he will, given his chance, hold his own with the best. Dachshunds were originally bred to dig badgers out of holes.

He will chase all pet cats, birds, & dogs from his exclusive territory (which is as far as the eye can see). He will also roto-till your fresh-laid lawn and new flower beds.

3. He is a born gentleman. His aloof dignity is above canine skylarking and petty yelping.

What they don't want to see and don't want to hear does not exist.

4. He is courageous to a remarkable degree and will stand up for his rights against any foe.

From behind a fence there is none braver.

5. He is odorless, always clean and easily housebroken.

You'd be odorless too from the daily baths needed made necessary because of finding "neat" things to roll in. House - broken is more like it. (Know a good handyman?)

6. He comes in several sizes, colors and coats to suit your special taste. The tiny miniatures also come in all three coats and colors; smooth, longhaired and wirehaired, and from a beautiful shiny black and tan to a rich Irish Setter red. There is no other breed which offers such a selection.

They are like peanuts, you can't stop with just one, and there is always a new variety or color or size to drool over.

7. He has a well founded reputation for being rugged and strong. Equally at home in either cold or warm climates.

If it is cold, they are in your bed or in their sweater. If hot, they grab the seat in front of the air conditioner and drink out of your ice tea glass.

8. He asks only that he be with you whether you live in a mansion or the most humble abode. He is at your side day and night and he will warn you if any strangers are lurking about.

He is willing to share all you have, if you eat dog food, he'll eat dog food. If you have steak, he gets steak ! You couldn't get rid of him if you wanted, and anybody stranger than you SHOULD get barked at.

9. He is most affectionate, and delights in riding in your car or sleeping close to you (if you will let him) at night, but he is content with his own bed and a simple cover that he can pull over his head, with just a shiny black nose to show his presence. Just to be near you and show his love for you is all he asks.

He is not stupid enough to let a good sucker out of his sight. People are such pushovers for the old "I love you, I love you" routine.

10. He is a wonderful companion for your children, and will take a lot of rough play and enter into the spirit of fun, for he is a born comedian. You can trust a Dachshund for they have never been known to betray a confidence.

They love kids, the younger the better, children can be blamed for so much that the "sweet li'l puppy wuppy" couldn't possibly have done (they don't realize how tall a fully stretched Dachshund can reach). A Dachshund will never write a tell-all unauthorized biography, but don't leave your pot roast within reach.

ONCE YOU HAVE OWNED ONE, YOU WILL NEVER BE WITHOUT ONE !!!!!

ONCE YOU HAVE BEEN OWNED BY ONE, THERE IS NO HOPE FOR YOU.

Woof! Woof, wow those are some nice things to say about us!

Waiting Waiting is a hard thing to do!

I can't wait to go to my new home! But waiting is so hard and I think my new mummy is feeling the same way! It will be sad to leave all my dog pals but I heard that there is a cool little kid named Isaac to play with so should be good!
