Dachshund Needs Help Alert

Mom and Dad are all choked up over this story and they both opened up their wallets to donate for Sugar Plum's extensive dental surgery at the North Shore Animal League.

Maybe it's cause she looks a little bit like me... :(

Season's Greetings from Michigan

Mom, Dad, and I are at Grandma and Grandpa's for the holidays. I love to lie by the crackling fire and recharge after being on watch in the kitchen.

Video Time

Dad's finally getting around to playing with the video on his camera. And of course he chose little old me for his subject. Just between us though, I think he kind of half assed this.

Static Cling

Dad is talking about this "static cling" thing. I have no idea what he's talking about, but I love it here in the laundry basket.

Beware fellow pups, the holidays are upon us!

Missing My Mom and My Dad

So, Dad and I came over here to Maryland for the weekend, since Mom's best friends from high school were visiting our place in NYC. Something about one man, three women, four cats, and one dog in less than 500 square feet not being good... I think it was an excuse for him to watch a lot of football this weekend.

Anyway, we've been chilling here, but I miss my Mama. Then my Dad went on a run for two hours and I got tired of waiting for him. The next best thing to being with him is sleeping on his clothes.

This was SO not my idea...

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.
And here's Gladys.

Oktoberfest: the perfect place for a bratwurst like me

Every year on the first Saturday of October, dachshunds converge on Washington Square Park in New York City to celebrate our heritage.

Despite the forecast for inclement weather, we hopped in a cab and sped uptown to partake in the fun.

Look, a wire-haired doxie! I haven't met many of those. (The dapple pup on the left was a playful little thing!)


Obligatory butt-sniffing:


Showing off my stellar smile:


It rained on our parade and lots of doxies left. Mom and Dad weren't ready to throw in the towel, so we hung around:


I'll post more Oktoberfest pictures tonight, so stay tuned! Also, I'll share pictures of my reunion with my very first dachshund friend, Gladys.
