Big Shoes, Little Dog

I wonder what it would be like to walk around in shoes for a day. I wouldn't have to get my feet wet in the snow. I could jump really high like those basketball players, and I'd save the pads on my feet. These were a little too big, but maybe I'll have to find a doggy Foot Locker to get a pair of dachshund kicks!

Happy Birthday to Me!

I guess I've lost track of the days, because today I woke up to a Happy Birthday! By my count, this means that I'm 6 years old. You'd think that I'd be settling down a little, but no - I'm still young, spry, and full of energy. You want to test me? Ring the doorbell :)

The best part of the day was putting my Happy Birthday bandana on and going to the pet store to pick out a present. It's one of my favorite places because everything looks so yummy, and it's all at my height. This is rare when your legs are shorter than the average pencil. I was going to go straight for the rawhide, but I was distracted by some Christmas treats on sale.

I sniffed around for a good long time until I saw some cookies. I picked out a large cookie to treat myself. Then, we were going toward the checkout and I liked this thing they call a Bully Stick. I liked it so much I grabbed it right out of the bin and rang it up.

It's been a pretty great day, and now I get to go home and chew on this massive bone-stick thing. Here's a funny picture of how I tried to chew it like a regular 6" chewy.

New Toy: Ginger Dog!

This is my new toy. He's a dachshund like me! He's kind of got bug-eyes, but I love to chew on him and make him squeak. People have told me it's like feeding hamburger to a cow, but I don't think it's weird.

My New Dinosaur Bone

I imagine this is how rawhide used to be... back in the stone age. This thing Dave brought be today is gi-normous. I wish I knew what to do with it. Do I lick it? Do I run around with it hanging out the sides of my mouth? Maybe I'll hide it when they're not looking... but where?!?

Hallo-weenies!

I got to play with my friends on Saturday at the Shirlington dog park. We ran around and barked all morning. I'm usually more into the barking than the running, but I still had a good time. Everyone was so cute in their doxie costumes! Check me out in the "Lil' Stinker" costume.

Will You Be My Momma?

I Proposed! Well, technically I wasn't there to propose, but I was consulted beforehand. Before Chris and Kaye went off to Disney World to have a grand old time, I posed for this picture with Kaye's ring. A couple times I tried to eat and lick it, but I was distracted with a treat long enough to snap this adorable picture. Little did I know at the time that it would be used in a clever ploy to get her to say yes. I feel so used! She said "Yes," by the way. :)

Dr. Bojoe to the O.R., Please

I'm still far away from completing my M.D., but I have mastered the surgical technique of removing the suqeaker from each and every one of my toys. My latest patient was loofa-dog. He needed a squeakerectomy, STAT, and I was on the case!
