Breezing with the Butterfly

New friends and a Music Store

Hello Pups!
I had two very interesting days. My humans took me with them for a car ride one day and we ended up stopping at a guitar store. Those are the big wooded thingys that my daddy plays with. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about them. Every time he takes one out and pulls those stingy things a lot of loud noise appears and it makes all the humans scream loudly. They seem to love it. Sooo strange. Anybark, they left me in the car for a while, but ended up staying longer than they expected, so my mommy came to bring me inside. The guys who worked there feel in love with me! (of course, who wouldn't??) They let me run around the store, and tried to play with me. I got to explore the whole store! It was sooo much fun! Well, until this little human walked in. I was confused by her at first b/c she was so small. She kept running after me trying to throw some thing at me. Mommy said it was a toy, but I didn't like it. And I didn't like her chasing me either. I had to keep running away and hiding behind mommy or daddy's legs. I was so relieved when she left. When mommy told the humans that worked there what kind of dog I was one of them said that was funny b/c he had a friend who has a Papillion and is trying to find a really good home for him. His friend can't take care of him and is giving him away, but wants to make sure it's to a good home. Mommy really wanted to take him, but daddy said I was handful enough. (I do keep them busy ;-) So, mommy felt really sad for the Pap and started asking people she knew if they wanted to take him in. She was having no luck at all. But, then we went to the dog park the next day!

Normally I am a little nervous at the dog park. I don't like to go too far away from my mommy while I am there, and there are soo many smells around that I want to try and smell the entire ground while we are there. It takes me a while to feel comfortable with the other dogs and humans to play with them. This time though was different. As soon as I walked through the gate, there were these two girl humans standing there and for some reason I loved them right away! I could just tell they were fantastic doggie people! I ran straight up to both of them and gave them lots of kisses, nudges, and happy pappy tailwags! My mommy was so shocked! Then she learned that these humans owned three dogs, and one was a Papillion!!! His name was Fivel, and he is only a few months older than me. When I saw him I was SO excited! It was the first time I'd met another Papillion! I was done. The entire time I was running and playing with the other dogs, especially Fivel. He was actually the only one I wanted to run up to and play with. I even chased a ball a few times and sticks, and played tag with the other dogs. It was SO fun! My mommy said she loved to see me having so much fun there. I don't know why, but having Fivel there made me so comfortable and excited! And, even better is, Mommy told one of the girls about the poor Papillion being given away, and she said her mom might be very interested! Mommy was so happy! She can't wait to call them and get them the information from the owner! I can't wait to go back to the dog park! I really hope Fivel is there!!!

Well pups, I gotta run! I'll bark at ya guys soon!

Trying to get better with the updates

Hey Everypup!
I have been HORRIBLE at writing! I know. I will try and do better. It's been so long I don't even know what to tell you guys about. Things here are just wonderful. I'm the happiest pup ever! My mommy is still job searching, whatever that means. I think that job thingy is what kept her away from home all the time like daddy. Personally, I'm keeping my paws crossed that she never gets another one of those so she will be home with me everyday like she is now. I love it! I think she does too, hee hee. Oh, I had the most fun day ever two weekends ago! My humans took me on what they call a hike. It was the best! They took me to the woods, and they were there, and my Grand dad, and lots of other human friends of theirs. I got to run around with them ALL day without my leash! I was running through water streams and swimming in little pools underneath waterfalls. I was jumping over boulders and trees and things. My humans could hardly keep up with me! They said they were soooo proud of me too! B/c even though I was faster than them, I never let them out of my sight! Even though that meant I had to keep stopping and waiting for them to catch up, BOL. They need two more legs like me! And there were only a few times where they had to carry me over boulders and rocks. I was able to jump over, around, and onto them with no problem! I loved it!!! There were so many smells and things going on out there. I even made some other doggie friends who were hiking out there! I can't wait to go out there again. Also, we have been going out on the boat more and more. I'm starting to get used to it, and it's so fun. I'm still a little nervous about all that water though. There is just sooo much of it! I am just the luckiest Pap in the world I think!
Well, I'll try and update you Pups again very soon!

Bark at ya later!!
Woof woof!!

Good to be Back!

Hey Everypup!
I know it's been a while since I've gotten on here. My humans were away for the week and so I didn't have anyone to type for me. I tried doing it my self but just couldn't get my darn paws to work right on the keyboard thingy. Oh well. I had such a fun time with my cousin, Sammy! He is pretty fun for an old dachshund! I think I might have worn him out a bit....hee hee. We would play for hours and then when I finally pooped out he would just lay on the floor where ever he happened to be. My aunt & uncle even let me sleep in the bed with them sometimes! Yipee! I did have a few accidents in the house though. =( It was just so hard when I went outside bc there were so many new things to smell and see that before I knew it it was time to come inside....and I hadn't pottied yet! Yipes! So, when I got into the house again, I just couldn't hold it any more. But, I didn't do it too often, so it was ok.
Mommy came to pick me up when they got home and I was sooo excited! I was feeling so much better after getting my stitches out and finally seeing my mommy again made me zoom around like a crazy pup! I asked her all about the trip and she said that it was a blast! She said the weather was brutal.....cold cold cold!!! It snowed every day and the wind was crazy! It even knocked her down a few time while she was skiing! That dang wind! I shall go and bite at it for knocking my mommy down!!!! Grrrr!!!! But she said it was still lots of fun and that she & daddy missed me a whole lot and wished I could have gone with them. But she promised that the next vacation, when they go to Arkansas, I am coming with them!!! She said there will be LOTS of water for me to swim in and I'll get to ride in a boat and everything! I'm not sure what a boat is....and not sure what swimming is either, but it sounds like a LOT of fun! I can't wait!!!

Well, I guess I should go and take a nap. I've been running around so happy to be home....I'm wearing myself out! I'll bark at ya soon!!!
