Dachshund Oktoberfest Continued

There were lots of costumes at the Oktoberfest.


But the best part was being reunited with my first dachshund friend, Gladys. Gladys and I met back in Indianapolis when I was just a pup. Sadly, last year Gladys and her parents moved far away. On Saturday, I was surprised and very happy to discover that Gladys lives here in New York City. We met her and her parents in Greenwich Village and then we all went to the Oktoberfest together. Here's Gladys and I with our parents outside some falafel place.

This is What I Do on Cloudy Days

I just lay here and watch Dad work. Like a friend of ours has said, "It's exhausting!"

I Don't Think These Towels Need to be Folded

Move along, father.
