My Precious.....

Bailey and Ginger gave me a fabulous present, the Everlasting Treat Ball. I love it soooooo much that Mommy and Daddy have started calling it My Precious, as apparently I behave like some guy called Gollum when they try to take it from me. I love it!

Busy

It has been a busy time for me and my parents. They both started new jobs, which meant I had to learn how to stay home by myself aaaaaaaaaaaall day. It makes me sad, I miss them and my chew bones that I can't have when I'm by myself.
So now I attend doggie daycare twice a week in Ballard. Mommy keeps telling me that it's good for me to make friends and learn how to be more social, but so far I am pretty timid when I am there. However, I am making friend with small, fluffy dogs who aren't as long or as cute as me.
I had a Grrrrrreat New Year's, as my best buds Bailey and Ginger came to spend the holiday with me. We ran around until we were exhausted, ate lots of yummy crumbs and cheese nibbles from the table, and then slept snuggled up on the couches next to Jessica, Sara, Nicole, Mommy, and Daddy. It was great fun!
I found today that dachshunds are number 7 out of the top 10 most popular dogs in America (according to the AKC). While I think I should be number 1, and certainly should be higher than that OTHER German dog breed, I am glad I made the list!
Dachshunds Rule AND Drool!

Thanksgiving is going to the dogs

I really like the holiday season. It begins with my parents buying me seasonal Bobos and people ringing the doorbell to ask for treats. We just did the part where I get to visit other family dogs, such as Abbie and Rascal, and eat lots of Turkey. If I recall correctly, that means next we get a tree and I get to help Mom bake in the kitchen. When I help bake, I usually end up dusted in powdered sugar and getting fed bits of peanut butter. The best part is coming up, when I get to open gifts under the tree. I hope I get something that squeaks.
To ensure that, I created an Amazon wish list, which can be found by searching the wish lists for Goobers. Apparently, I am the only web-savvy pet named Goobers.

Fall weather

I am happy that my good friends Bailey and Ginger have invited me to be their dogster pals. I have even received some virtual treats!
I have been busy napping on my heating pad and barking at the wind and rain outside. Sometimes, people have the audacity to walk near my house, so I bark at them too.
Tonight my mommy is taking a Pet First Aid course at the Seattle/King County Humane Society in Bellevue, WA. I hope she doesn't come home and try anything on me! But it will be nice to know she can help me if I choke, as I like to run around the house with a mouthful of food.
All for now! Keep on lickin'!

First day on Dogster

I have been asking my parents for a better web presence for awhile, as a page on their blog was just not enough for me. Finally, they took time out from their busy day of not playing enough fetch to create my very own web page. Now it is back to napping on the heating pad and gazing longingly at my treat jar. Is it time to play yet? How about now?
