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.

Rain rain go away

I can not believe that it has been raining and so dreary here for nearly a week. We only had one nice day last weekend, and that was on Sunday. It was like a beautiful “Indian Summer” day. I enjoyed it and took the dog out for a walk after he kept bringing me his leash. He hardly ever does that, but apparently he wanted to go outside and enjoy the weather also.

The hot weather I asked for!

Well, I have to say that I am finally getting the hot and humid weather I have asked for. While everyone is complaining about the heat and the humidity and my dogs are moping around looking for a cool place to hang out, I’m in seventh heaven knowing that this won’t last as long as I would like it to. In the mean time, I’ve put out water with ice for the animals, give them special cool dishes that they will eat, instead of dog food and I remember how much I hate the cold winters here and that I am miserable though them. Actually with the ceiling fans going and the box and floor fans on, it’s really not too bad in the house. I hear people who complained about the cold all winter now complaining about the heat we are having now. It never ceases to amaze me when I hear this. Me? I’m just enjoying it all.

A cold spell?

After having 100 degree weather for a few days, it feels downright chilly out today. The sun is shining and most people would think this is “perfect weather”…to me it’s cold. I admit that those high heat days were humid and it made things a bit sticky. Never ever try grooming and clipping a long haired dog in that kind of weather. Heed my advice. It sticks to you all over, and even after a shower I felt like I had dog hair on me. LOL!
