Get Along Little Doggie

I love the gags that can be played around the little dachshund dog. Like the meme that goes around Facebook every now and then, of a dachshund puppy in a hot dog roll, like the photo below:

And the joke about why did the cowboy adopt a dachsund?

I like looking at pet halloween costumes online and in stores, and I’m always amused by how cute they are, and find myself wishing that my own pets would tolerate wearing something like that. My experience, however, has been that my pets do their best to remove whatever article of clothing I try to put on them! So I’m afraid that for me, it would be an exercise in frustration, and a waste of money to buy the costume for my pets.

Valentine, Oh Valentine

I love romance! How glorious that we have a holiday dedicated to sweethearts and lovers all over the world!

Ever since I was in high school, Valentine’s Day has been a wonderful day of flowers, chocolates and special dinners with candles, flirting and memorable nights. I love Valentine’s Day!

Mr. Groundhog Predicts an Early Spring

Nashville’s sky was covered with snow heavy winter clouds this morning, so there was no way a groundhog could have seen his shadow.

I know that the groundhog in Pennsylvania supposedly saw his shadow up there, but let’s be honest. Pennsylvania weather is nothing like Nashville weather. I bet on any given day the temperatures here are at least 6 – 8 degrees warmer than anywhere in Pennsylvania. We’ll have spring before Pennsylvania every year and this year I bet we have spring weeks before the northern states.
