Helping Others

Mom got this email this morning. She has been clicking on the Animal Rescue site button almost every day for over a year. Please consider adding the link at the end to your Favorites and clicking on the button every day too. Once you read the email, you will realize it is quick, easy and doesn't cost you a thing!

Subject: Animal Rescue - It is simple, please help
Importance: High

Hi, all you animal lovers. This is pretty simple.. Please tell ten
Friends to tell ten today! The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals!!!

It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "feed an animal in need" for free. It's in a purple box in the middle of the page.

This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know. AND THE NEAT THING IS THAT YOU CAN PUT THE LINK IN YOUR FAVORITES AND DO IT EVERYDAY!!!

AGAIN, PLEASE TELL 10 FRIENDS!!

Happy Fathers Day

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there. We don't have a dad but we have a Grandpa and we want to wish him a Happy Fathers Day. Since Mom has to be mom and dad for us, we want to wish her a Happy Fathers Day too. Of course, we show her how much we love her every day but it's nice to make a special point of telling her.

It is raining AGAIN! It has been raining every afternoon since forever! Rain really messes with our going outside and barking. Maybe we should send this rain to Charlie Kelly-Church. It worked last time!

In our last post, we showed you a picture of Maggie. Zach wanted to know how old she is because she has a "little" silver on her face. Well, Maggie is a rescue so we don't know for sure, but our doggie doctor says she is probably about five or six. He says her face makes her look older than she is but her teeth are a good indication that she is still plenty young. She has had puppies so we don't know if someone used her to make puppies or if she was on the streets and nature took its course. She's not having anymore puppies though. Dachshund Rescue of Houston took care of that! We don't want to add to the over-population of unwanted dogs!

When Zach asked the question, we realized you don't get to see Maggie in too many pictures. It's not because Mom doesn't like Maggie (because she likes Maggie a lot!), it's because the times when she is around Maggie are when we are in the country. Mom takes most of her pictures when Aunt Bec decides to take a nap and guess who gets to nap with Aunt Bec. If Mom took that picture, she would be swimming in the fish pond and her camera would be broken ... not that Aunt Bec is really violent or anything.

Mom took more pictures of the fish pond when we were out at the country around the end of May so she wants to post some of them. Since it is sort of her day, we will let her do it. Just in case you forgot, this pond is on Grandpa's land. Our land is to the left of it.









And here is a picture of a colorful bird that is eats the catfish. Grandpa does not like these birds for that reason.



And finally, because this is a blog about dachsies, here is a picture of all five of us in jail. Mom had to make the jail bigger than usual because there are two more of us in there. It starts off looking a little better but we jump against the bars and the pieces slide across the floor until they come to rest against the table. Mom says you are all going to think she is messy. (Hey, the truth hurts sometimes.)

Party #1 & Party #2

Party #1

First off we had a grand time visiting with everyone from Dogs With Blogs while celebrating the first year anniversary. The chat room was a great idea. Who would have thought that people from around the world would find things to talk about ... and it wasn't always about dogs. Since all the partying was virtual, we don't have any good pictures but we have some great memories.

Party #2

Today was the annual Spring Fling fund raiser for Dachshund Rescue of Houston.. We couldn't believe the number of dachshunds that were there! Check out these pictures.










But we know who you really want to see. Here we are trying to find out what Mom was doing with that camera when she left us.



We are tired from all of this partying so we need to go take a nap before dinner time. We hope everyone had a great weekend!

A Birthday for a Special Lady

Today is Shelly's birthday. Most of you don't know Shelly but she started Dachshund Rescue of Houston. Because of her efforts to build a network of volunteers, lots of dachsies have found fur-ever homes. Sammy, Andy, Maggie and Jake are all lucky dogs because of Shelly's work and dedication. Sammy has a special bond to Shelly since she was his foster mom three different times when people kept bringing him back. Shelly brought Sammy to Mom and Mom liked her as soon as she met her. Shelly kept Sammy safe for Mom until Mom could get him.

Shelly is special to us and we want to let everyone know.

Happy Birthday, Shelly!

Tagged for Our Stories

Flossy has tagged us to tell how we came to live with Mom in our fur-ever home. We told our stories in our July 17th entry. Since we did a pretty good job of telling that time, just click on the words "our stories" and you can read all about how we found Mom.

We will have to come back later today and add to our entry. We just posted last night. All we have done is sleep, pee and poop. We haven't even had breakfast yet! Not much excitement in any of that!

Thanks for tagging us Flossy. We like for people to know how we found Mom. If enough people read how Sammy and Andy came from rescue, maybe they will consider a rescue dog next time.
