what the heck...

...is she thinking leaving me alone in a strange house with a woman that I barely know. All I want, EVER, is to be with my human. I am very sorry that I made a mess but sometimes I just cannot keep it all together and something gives.

Did I ever tell you that...

...my human is AWESOME.

After a long day of travel, not knowing where we were going, my human surprised me with my big brother Kain. Then we went out to the lake together and I got to hang out with him, just us black boys. We are back in the city for a few days but I can sense something big is going happen.

Holy Dogs and Cats and Goats and Cows and Toads, Batman!

After a very long drive we arrived in north Texas last night. The big guy's mom lives out here and it sure is fun to check everything out.

Something...

...is going on around here. I'm keeping my ears to the ground.

It's a sad sad day.

Miniature Dachshunds unite! If people start thinking that we are vicious beasts then we too will be categorized as dangerous dogs alongside pitbulls and rottweilers.

Rest in Peace Roscoe.

Happy Canada Day!

I hope I heard wrong but there was some talk about roasting weenies.

I hope...

...the big guy knows how much I love him. It took about 6 years (dog) to understand where he was coming from but now I know that he really does like me. Sometimes it is so hard to keep my feelings under control and I let loose. But at least he doesn't give me attitude about it anymore.

I don't know what these people are thinking but...

...it's not very nice to leave Kacy and I alone. I know. I know. They had someone come and take care of the two of us but they know perfectly well that I only love them. Did they really expect me to just walk out the door with the guy? Sometimes I think Kacy is too trusting, though she did seem pretty happy to get out of the house for a little while. In the future I'll be keeping a close eye on everybody. You've been warned.

I love Kacy...

...so much for letting me share her new bed.

It was pretty busy...

...around here these past few days. We had a nice human visit us from Calgary. I wasn't too sure about her at first but then she let me be her lap dog. I sure wish my human would let me do that more.

Houston...

...the hot of Texas.

Okay, I'll admit...

...that I get help with a lot of things due to the shortness of the wheels. Kacy comes in handy for getting things off the counter for me.

For all you...

...non-believers.

my human is getting ready to...

...leave the house. She tries to pretend that she's not but I'm pretty good at reading body language.

i'm sorry to report...

...that my training schedule has kind of fallen by the wayside. It has been too hot to go to the park and really put some hard work into getting ready for the big race. However, I superdog as much as possible and I am still running laps. My human has always had me on a strict diet though I do get some treats from the big guy.

rumour has it...

...that wiener dogs are cool. Are you picking up what I'm laying down?

long weekends are AWESOME

My human and the big guy were around a lot over the past few days. I like to entertain them as much as possible so they can't possibly think any bad thoughts about me. I try to convince Kacy to chase me like Kain used to but she doesn't like the slippery floors. I'm okay with wiping out because, if you haven't noticed, I don't have too far to fall. But please don't call me short, I prefer the term low-rider.
Okay, I have to go nap.

here fishy fishy fishy

We all went to the beach very early this morning. There was water all over the sand today so I got especially dirty. Kacy and I ran in and out of the water and up onto the sand dunes. On the way back to the car I found a nice ripe dead fish to roll on (I'm putting that on my list of favourite things to do). Now I am back at home, washed up and ready to roll.

training report from last night

10 minutes of living room laps
5 minutes of wind sprints
some weight training with the rugs laying around

with much encouragement from kacy - she really is my biggest supporter

this hot dog can't stand the heat - it just made me throw up

Howlin' good time

The big guy sure likes to get us wound up. Last night he started his hootin' and hollerin' and I just can't help myself. It kinda hurts my ears and I try to tell him that but then Kacy does what all boxers do (don't they?)

training report

early morning training session
warm-up: tennis ball retrieval for 15 minutes
training: 6 wind sprints from sit-start

Feeling good.

To the human who once let me sleep in bed with her - thanks for the advice

woo hoo! i was able to convince my human that it would be perfectly acceptable to cuddle in bed with her this morning. She usually tells me off. No, really, she says "OFF" in such a stern voice, that it hurts my feelings sometimes. But this morning after the big guy was finished playing with me and left I just walked up looked her in the eye and told her this was the way it was going to be.

the weather is such a drag - it's been cloudy - don't these people know that I like to warm my belly in the sun

waiting for something to happen

I am going to go upstairs and keep an eye out for the big guy. I had a nice long nap today so I'm looking forward to a little action when he gets home.
