Arrival Story: As a birthday surprise, my husband took me to pick out a miniature dachshund puppy from a litter that belonged to a lady he worked with. I didn't know what we were doing until we pulled into their driveway. We went inside and saw the litter. I reached down and suddenly one puppy crawled over the rest of the litter to me. That was it. My Lily Pad! We sat and snuggled for about an hour. She was too young to come home with me then. It was two weeks before she was old enough (a very long two weeks). The day of her homecoming was very special. On that day my daughter graduated from Auburn University and on the way home to celebrate her graduation, we stopped and picked up Lily Pad.
Bio: Lily loves to play with other dogs--the bigger, the better! She also is very attached to our cat, Sadie. They wrestle like two puppies. Lily Pad has also become very fond of the two dogs in her agility class: Beedle and Crystal! She LOVES her mom and dad! Woof and arf! Scruff MacDuff, her brother, is her buddy! They are inseperable.
Forums Motto:
I am traumatized from last weekend. I am the queen and I like my queendom stable and calm. OH NO!! Not last weekend. There was WAY too much "excessive celebration." Unfortunately, no yellow flags were thrown...except by me! What happened? I'll tell you.
First, we went to our tailgating spot in Auburn, which we often do on fall weekends. However, this was no normal tailgating weekend!! First, strange decorations are placed everywhere. "Welcome Home" signs and American flags begin to dot the landscape. Next, strange decor, known as Halloween decorations, begin to spring up! Little black boxes begin to spew fog everywhere. Yikes!!
Soon, something good did happen. My brother-in-law, who has been gone a long time, appeared!!! He has been in some place called Iraq. My furless sister was with him, too. She is looking very odd, though. Mom said she is preg-nut--I do see she has a big nut under her belt, but I really don't get it.
Well, then a big celebration begins. More furless arrive. Gifts begin to pile up and someone said something about washing a baby...or giving it a shower. I didn't stick around for that...bath or shower, they are both evil!!
The next day was no better! We all sat and watched the Auburn game (War Eagle) and all the furless were yelling and screaming. I had to bark along with them, but geeessh!! I could hardly get a nap out. Did I mention I did all of this in a ridiculous looking bumblebee outfit?? Then I had to put up with a few small furless coming around, dressed strangely, expecting a handout of treats. This is all too much!
I am The Pad! This is not the environment I expect. I am about to write my congressman.......... Oh, did I mention that Scruff MacDuff loved every minute of it?? Sheeeesh!
Wow, this has been a busy month!! The Auburn Tigers have kept me busy tailgating for 4 weekends in a row!! War Eagle! I have enjoyed watching all the activity and barking my head off when strange men come into my tailgating spot! BOL
Scruff MacDuff and I just returned from taking our mom camping for two nights....just the three of us!! We did a lot of napping, reading, and walking! A lot of walking!! My little legs never slowed down!
September was great, and I look forward to October!!
Scruff MacDuff and I just returned from a week of lake camping. Most of it was wonderful....good food, digging holes looking for rabid badgers, barkingbarkingbarking at squirrels, and visiting with the "big dogs."
BUT
The last night we were taking a stroll at dusk. There I was, minding my own business, strutting my stuff down the road; when two outofcontrol furballs came running from their campsite and attacked me! Naturally, I had flashbacks to the attack last Winter by the BIG dawg that hospitalized me. My mom finally got me away from them and held me. To show my gratitude, I peed all over her. I was okay (mom said) but very traumatized.
YES...there is a leash rule at this campsite...the next morning the same dogs were STILL off leash!!!! You know, those dawgs were okay, it was their stupid owners. Gggggrrrrrrr............
