Nicknames: Edie-Grrrl, Edie-Sweetie, Eed, Eedster, Girly-Girl, Sis, Sister, Sisfur, Sissy No-britches, Little Wolf, Heater Wiener (given by a skin bro who observed that I like to rest on the warm air vent), Furself
Doggie Dynamics:
Likes: I LOVE 2-leggers, especially my furmily! I never met a treat I didn't like, either!
Pet-Peeves: Not being sufficiently petted, feted, pampered, and adored; loud noises made by my hubros; being left alone
Favorite Toy: I have just discovered the joy of squeaky toys that are as tough as a rhino's hide so I cannot dismantle them in seconds flat. My furvorite is a football. I also love my squeaky soccer ball and my Galileo Chew toys.
Favorite Food: Whatever my furmily lets me have: ice cream, chicken, and steak are special favorites
Favorite Walk: To the pawrk
Best Tricks: Newest: Jump down at the sound of the Microsoft logoff 'song'. Other tricks: sit, shake hands, roll over, play dead, go to bed, go outside, and speak, bark to be picked up.
Arrival Story: My Gotcha Day was on my mama's 40th birthday (which was the day after my 3 hubros' 7th birthday; my uncle brought me to my new home). I was selected by his ML Dachsie pup Einie (short for Einstein). One of my hubros had been asking for a dog for over a year and my uncle finally found me. Einie was supposed to be their doggie, but my uncle had to keep him for a couple of weeks while my furmily had flooring in the house replaced. My aunt lost her dad and became very attached to Einie while waiting for my furmily to be ready to take him. So my aunt and uncle kept Einie and they found ME to go to my new home. BTW Einie is my bestdog! Woof, woof, woof!!!
Bio: My full name is Edelweiss Destiny. My humama wanted me to have a German name because Dachshunds are from Germany. She liked Edelweiss because it is a pretty wildflower (like me!). My middle name is Destiny for two reasons. First of all, my doggie mama's middle name is Destiny. Also, it was Destiny that brought me to my family. As you probably already figured out, I am called by my initials, E. D., or Edie!
Forums Motto:
Okay, the title sounds much better than the truth. That goes more like 'Dog pees all over hooman pawrent when meeting the letter carrier who leaves doggie treats in the mailbox each day.' Howlever, this is what happened on Saturday.
When Humama goes to the mailbox, she brings back a Milkbone treat fur me. I didn't know where she got them, because we don't have any in the garage or the pantry. When we heard the doorbell, Saturday, I barked and Humama saw the mail truck. Humama grabbed me up and took off fur the mailbox, just in time to meet the lady who delivers our mail. I was so excited! My tail wagged like mad, and I just lost it! Yup, pee-peed all over my Humama!
The letter lady was so sweet to me. She had already left a treat fur me at the door with our mail, and she gave me another while we got acquainted! I just acted like my adorable self, giving generous kisses and wags. Humama told her all about me... what's not fur a pup to love?!
So when you hear the same old tired jokes about pups chasing and/or biting the mail carrier, you just remember that some of us LOVE our mail carrier (I know that 'mailman' is a lot easier to say, but I just can't bark that when our 'mailman' is a lady, BOL!). Until next time, pups, signing off from six inches high, I am the one and only...

I was tagged recently by my furiends The Tater Tots. Their pawmail instructed me to give seven facts about myself, then go tag five more pals. Sooo, here goes:
1. I am an only dog, and I am the only female in our furmily besides Humama.
2. I came to my furever home to celebark four birthdays: my triplet skin brothers turned seven, while
Humama hit the big Four-Oh!!!!
3. I am a water dog! I like to swim, float on water toys, ride on a boat, and fly by on a Sea-Doo! I even
have my own doggie life jacket!!!
4. I am an incontinent grrrl; that is, I pee-pee whenever I get excited! And most anything can get me
excited, BOL!
5. I am a treat hound! Rarely have I encountered a treat I didn't like!
6. I sleep on my skin brothers' beds. I love them all, but I like to sleep in Ray's big high bed best
of all!
7. I feel furtunate to be a Dogster pup! I have laughed and cried a lot, learned about page decorating
code, met some furtastic pups, and grown closer to Humama as a result of being a Dogster.
Here are the five pals I am tagging:
1. Snickers, a fellow longhaired mini
Dachsie
2. Smoke. a smooth Dachsie who singlepawedly invented the Internet *poke*
3. PITA, my kind and beautiful senior pal who has made many furiends all over the place
4. Peaches, who, more than most any other fur, has helped me learn howl to make my page prettyful
5. Cinnamon, a fellow Tennessee pup who makes me laugh and is just about as good a pal as I can imagine
Thanks, Tots, fur tagging me! This is fun, AAAAAROOOO!!!
Hello, pups! Long time, no bark, I know, I know!!! Hope this doesn't make me a bad pup! Humama was very busy with my skin brothers and the start of school, so she didn't have time to type all I had to bark!
We just had fall break around here! This means I went to see my peeps and furiends at Pet Paradise in nearby Tullahoma. I love it there almost as much as being at home... maybe it should be called Pup Pawradise, BOL! I had fun and was well-spoiled, and I also got a B-A-T-H, haircut, and nail trim.
Unfurtunately, my skin boys brought some unwanted souvenirs home furom their trip. Two of them had coughing with low-grade fevers, while the third has what Humama calls 'intestinal episodes'. I can bark that it stinks something terrible when he has an epawsode, and he has cried about his stomach hurting today. Just about enough to make me cry with him. I cheered him up by giving Humama a great big smoochie on the lips when she wasn't looking. See, I AM a nurse, BOL!
I plan to sit on beds when any of them rest today, and I will not let anyone disturb them. This is my duty as a nurse, and I will not stop until everyone in my furmily is well again. Humama says I should get a nurse costume fur Howlowiener! I guess we'll have to see about that.
Well, I need to go tend to my boys now. Stay healthy, everyone and everypup, and I'll BAYL! From six inches up, this is your very own... Edie-Grrrl.
