My Loot!!!

OMD...it's like Christmas all over again!! Just look at my Goody Bag full of stuff....



There's a little something in it for everyone...I especially love the stuff toy & bone blanket...Dad likes the travel mug, candy canes & poop bag dispenser (guess where the bags come out....*snort*)...there's even some chocolates for Mama!! There's a new collar & leash, a bone shaped pen, a doggy toothbrush, Pet Magazine, calendar from the vet clinic, a night light and some chew sticks...





Also some kitty toys...which we will give to Miss Lucy ...our feline neighbour...



Thank you Abegweit Animal Hospital for having such wonderful Christmas draws!!

We Won A Goody Bag!!!

Our vet clinic held draws for 8 Goody bags....and our name was one of the lucky winners drawn!! To enter you either made a purchase & filled out a ballot or liked their Facebook page!

Can't wait to see our "stash"! Will post pics tomorrow!

Whee!!!

A Doxie Christmas....

This is me & Benson...having a play on Christmas Eve...





Mama received some pawsome doxie stuff...Benson gifted his Mimi with a calendar...don't ya just luv the mitts from my human sister for Mama?



I was not forgotten...I've been enjoying my bags of treat snacks & a delicious roasted bone..

Wishing All A Very Merry Christmas!!!

Playing With My Treat Ball...

Since I chewed my vinyl treat ball to bits...(oops...) I've been enjoying this treat ball immensely...



It's bigger..so I can't get my teeths around it to chew it...but I have fun chasing it around...and waiting for a treat to fall out...



Only 4 more sleeps til Santa Paws comes!!!

My Christmas Stocking....

Is hung by the chimney with care...



And in case you forgot how cute I am...(you can really see my pretty silver highlights here...)

It's a storm day....I came in from a pee...and it's freezing drizzle out there!
Hardly any snow though...would be pawsome if it changed to rain. (paws crossed).

Wiener Wonderland

Dog tags ring, are you listenin’?
In the lane, snow is glistenin’
It's yellow, not white,
l've been there tonight,
Marking up my wiener wonderland.

Smell that tree?
That’s my fragrance.
It’s a sign for wand’ring vagrants
Avoid where I pee, it’s my property!
Marked up as my wiener wonderland.

In the meadow Dad will build a snowman,
Following the classical design.
Then I’ll lift my leg and let it go man,
So all the world will know that it is mine, mine, mine!

Straight from me to the fencepost,
Flows my natural incense boast.
‘Stay off of my turf, this small piece of earth,
I mark it as my Wiener Wonderland!

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Bring on the snow!! I'm wearing my Christmas sweater....it won't be long now til Santa Claws arrives!!!

A Now A Word About Mama....

Most of you know, Mama takes great care of everyone around here....and she's been dealing with anemia & needing to go to the horsepital for pokes, prodes & scopes. She has been feeling pretty crappy for a long time now...but thankfully she is being take well care of by our health professionals, Dad...and most importantly...me..(Liesel).




The proper name for the condition sucking all her iron is Gastric antral vascular ectasia (or GAVE). It's also called "watermelon stomach"...cause they see red lines in her stomach. The blood vessels in the stomach rupture & blood fills the area....not a nice condition...at all. She had a procedure done in October & again a different aragon treatment yesterday..keeping my paws crossed the treatment is helping. Another treatment will be done again in March.

Pls. send my Mama some healing rayzzz....

In Loving Memory of a Special Boy....

Who would have celebrated his 15th birthday today....he was enjoying some sun worshipping here...



We love & miss you.... enjoy romping & playing with Xena & Schatzi...

Winter Wonderland...

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....



I blame it on the SNOW sign...it's not smart to taunt Old Man Winter...



The pool is frozen over...



And did I mention we lost our electricity during the night? Uh-huh..it didn't come on til 9:30 a.m., thank dawg we have the propane stove in the downstairs family room....it was nice & toasty snuggled up down there...



Ok...who wants to make a snowman?

Is There Snow Where You Are?

We got some snow overnight....enough so I can run my nose through it & make paw prints!! I luv the snow!!! I love jumping in it...snorting around in it, peeing in it...so many wonderful things to do outside in the snow!!

The weather guy says rain in a few days...so the snow will be gone...but I'm going to have fun while it's here!!

Where Has The Year Gone??

Can u believe it has been one year since Liesel made the long trek from Ontario to us? We are so blessed to have her...it's been a year with a lot of "firsts" for her....

First few minutes after she arrived in Halifax....having a sniff around...



First ride home in the car....



First time ripping the guts out of a squeaky toy...



First winter...



First classes of puppy socialization & "Obedience"....(got my peeps all trained now!)



My first birthday....



My first swim in the pool....



One of many first plays with Benson..



And sadly, I lost by snuggle buddy two months ago...we miss him so much..



And my first "Hallowiener"...



It's been a busy year...and in a few days...I'm going to have another first! I'm going to meet my Nani!! Benson has told me all about her...so can't wait to meet her...she is gonna love me! But then again....who wouldn't, right?

Annual Check Up...

It is hard to believe Liesel has been with us nearly a year...and it was time for her annual check up & immunizations.

Her weight is perfect...her body mass is excellent...no pudgy on this girl! She is in excellent health & barely noticed getting her shots. She was timid of Dr. Condon...that is her nature...in the waiting room she was Miss Bossy Pants...barking at everyone & letting them know she was in the house!

Of course, everyone said she is adorable...and she loved the attention & praise. And rightfully so....she is a dachshund after all!

Beautiful late fall day...sunny & windy....leaves a blowing & swirling around! And I'm having a play date with Benson!!!

It's a good to be Liesel!!

Happy Barkday to My Dad!!!

xoxo from Liesel

Happy Hallowe'en!!

And they've captured their first inmate...




Wishing you a fun & safe Hallowe'en!!!
