Life is good. We are four dachshunds living in central Texas USA. Three of us and Mom used to live in Houston but we moved to the country and we love it! We bark at cows and birds and rabbits and turtles and squirrels ... we even barked at a copperhead snake but he didn't like it and that turned into an adventure best not repeated. Come read all about our lives!

Rain & Heat
It seems like we are all talking about the weather these days. It has been so hot that Mom can't stand to be outside for long - even early in the morning. The only time it cools down is when the storm clouds come in to drop rain on us. Yesterday it rained over an inch in 30 minutes in parts of Houston! There were even warnings about hail! We stood at the doorway and watched the rain come down in the backyard. If you look at the roof, you can see the rain bouncing off of it because it was coming down so fast. Roxie even went outside to check if the whole yard was wet ... it was. This is just no fun. It's either too hot to be outside or too wet. Maybe Mom needs to take us out to the country again. At least there is a big front porch for us to sit on when it rains. And she even sits out there with us while she reads a book.
Here is a cool picture of a couple of dogs that belong to one of Mom's friends. We haven't met them yet but they are Kayla and Terra. Kayla weighs about 5 pounds and Terra weighs about 85! Their mom says they play together well and Terra is careful with Kayla.
We hope you are staying cool and dry ... except you Australian dogs who need to stay warm! Well, we want to find some toys to destroy. We'll catch up with you later!
