CatDog

DSC_0192A

We do a lot of hiking in the woods and there are a lot of critters around. Out in there we have a strict "no harassing the wildlife" policy. We love to hike with Chester and Gretel but want to leave the nature as untouched as possible for others to enjoy and to ensure dogs continue to be allowed in the future. However, I admit to having a little different view when it comes to the back yard and … [Read more...]

Finding the Alternate Route

P1020372E

A month ago we discovered an "alternate route" to one of our favorite winter snowshoe places, Source Lake. At least that is what the sign said - we never did find it. We had a fun time and got some good pictures though. We are participating in the Monday Mischief Blog hop This week. Click on over to our pal Snoopy's Dog blog to see all the mischief the other animals are up … [Read more...]

WW #66 – May We Now Have the Ring

Jessica + Shawn - 088

As promised, the photos of Chester and Gretel as ring bearers in our wedding last summer. They only made an appearance for the rings (afraid they might start barking at birds or poop on someone's shoe) and move fast so these are the best we could get. For those of you interested, here are a few photos of the rest of the wedding Wordless Wednesday is a community linkup of … [Read more...]

30/30 Challenge Update Weeks 2 & 3

Rufus and Porter walk

Well...I feel like we launched this challenge and then disappeared from the blogsphere. I intended to post an update every week  but I skipped over week 2. This isn't new news to me but it has definitely been brought to light again here - when you are super busy and make a new commitment, sometimes another thing on your to-do list has got to go. Your priorities have to shift sometimes even … [Read more...]

Saying Goodbye to Teddy

IMAG0628A

Teddy had been around for a long time. He was one of the squeaky toys that got pretty chewed but never tore up. I think he was around for about a year. Along the way, Teddy suffered some injuries. He always managed to keep a good attitude. He was quieter though since his squeaker just gave out. Teddy was a good ol' guy. He grew up hanging out with the Simply Fido Organic Plush Toy crowd. … [Read more...]

Gimme My Damn Dinner!

dsc_0412B

Chester is a pretty good dog, until he is not. Really, he just lays around and snuggles until it is time to attack the mailman or it is dinner time. This is what I have to put up around dinner time. I say "around" because he usually starts this about 30 minutes to an hour before it is ACTUAL dinner time. Warning: I might turn your volume down a tad because there are a couple of high pitched … [Read more...]

Jackets That Fit Dachshunds

Chester the Dachshund in his Cozy Hound fleece jacket

One of the questions I get most often is "Do you have any recommendations for jackets that fit Dachshunds well"? Since winter is approaching I thought this would be a good time to list the jackets we know, or have heard, are the best for Dachshunds. I want to give a shout out to our awesome friends on Facebook that helped me compile this list. Our personal favorites are hand-made, double fleece … [Read more...]
