Friday I held my annual Regifting Party. It's a party I hold in January for some of my girlfriends. We unload gifts we got for Christmas that we didn't like on each other White-Elephant style. Three of my friends came to the party. One friend owns to weiner dogs and blogs over at Life with Doxies. Another of the friends is the one that lives near is and meets up with us all of the time to help … [Read more...]
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...]
I know we don't talk about it much. We don't talk about any pet-related causes much. I know a lot of other blogs do, and we don't want to seem callous, but it is not what we are about. In our special corner of the pet universe, we are champions for small dogs - specifically, keeping them active and at a healthy weight. Small dogs have gotten labeled too many times as "lap dogs" and people don't … [Read more...]
As you know, I switched Chester and Gretel's diet to grain-free kibble last year. I include raw foods in their diet sometimes but still choose to primarily feed them kibble. There are many opinions around feeding your pet kibble or raw food. I agree that raw meat is mostly what wolves ate - from which domesticated dogs came from. There is some controversy over how domesticated dogs have or have … [Read more...]
Last Monday we finally got out and went for a hike. Because of family obligations, and planning for my wedding, it had been a long time since we got out in the woods. Mt. Si is about 45 minutes from Seattle in the Cascade Mountains. Views from the tip include Puget Sound, Cascade Mountains, Seattle and the Snoqualmie River Valley. Wikipedia says about 80,000 to 100,000 people visit the Mt. … [Read more...]
I had to head to Sequim again this weekend to work on my Grandparent's house some more. We were watching a friend's dog, Clancy. I took Clancy and Gretel with me and left Chester and home with S, as usual, so he had someone to keep him company. While I was on the Edmonds-Kingston ferry boat I got an email that my appointment had been pushed back. I had a couple of hours to kill so I decided to … [Read more...]

I told you about the trip down and our first day at BlogPaws. Since this newbie learned some important lessons the first day, I felt like the second day of the conference went smoother. I took Chester to daycare right after breakfast and left him the whole day. I packed lighter the second day. Little did I know that there would be a heck of a lot more stuff to pick up from vendors the … [Read more...]
In our last post about our trip to BlogPaws we mentioned that we road-tripped it down there, that we camped, that we met some of our bloggy friends and that we brought back some loot (like the Bret Michaels Pets Rock Tattoo Hoodie we are giving away). Let me tell you a little more about how our trip went down. I drove to our friend's house, It's a Weinerful Life, on Wednesday night. Thursday … [Read more...]
