Zoe's Life and Loves

This is the blog of Zoe,a black and tan miniature dachshund. She began her life with a family who surrendered her to the SPCA where I got her soon before her 2nd birthday. She has been a perfect pet since :).

Joe again!

Last weekend, Mommy put me over the fence to play with Joe, the mini dachshund next door. We had so much fun playing together! We'd chase each other and wrestle. My favorite thing about him is that he knows I am boss! He always rolls over and submits to me. What can I say, I love being the alpha!

Here's a video of us playing, and him being submissive ;).

She's at it again!

My mommy is in love with this new machine she got. It kinda makes a bdrrrrrr sound and then stops and then starts again. And when she is using it, she keeps coming over to me and laying fabric on me. Well, this time, it's another dress! But, I like this one better than the last one because I get to go on walks with this one. Mommy put a spot on it for my leash and she said I did such a good job walking in my pretty dress. We saw an old lady while we were on our walk. She thought I was adorable, but I was so excited to see her, I couldn't stop barking at her. I feel kind of bad about it now because I think I scared off her loving pets :(. Maybe I will use this as a lesson for next time!

Oooh, I forgot. She also had me wear my new outfit last night to show off to the neighbors. I liked all that good attention but couldn't wait to get back to harass daddy for some of the pizza he was eating! Unfortunately, he said I couldn't have any :(.

Dachshund Fun

Well, today was fun but tiring. Now, I am poopered out!

First, Mommy and Daddy surprised me with a trip to a huge store! It wasn't full of pet stuff though. This was Daddy's favorite store... Home Depot! Mommy held me the whole time and tons of people showed me loving :).

Then, we came home and Mommy gave me a yummy treat that took me a whole hour to eat!

Then, the day just kept getting better! Mommy took me to see other dachsies at the park. We get to see my dachsie friends about once a month but I have never met them at a park before! I made a new friend too. His name was Elmo. He is a 4 mth. old puppy. Elmo is deaf so he doesn't bark a lot like me and the other dogs. He is such a cutie though and we had fun playing.

After that, we got to come back home for dinner and naps! That's what I am about to get back to as soon as I am done typing! I wish I had taken some pics of my fun time today. I think someone else did so maybe I will add some pictures to here later!

Off to go sleepies...

My new stuff!

Well, it has been a little over a week since I last wrote, so I have a few updates. First of all, let me say, I love my mommy :). She got herself some gift that scares me when it makes this weird sound but she makes me cool things on it so I am not too upset. I think she told daddy it was a sewing machine. The first day she got it, she not only made me a Fourth of July bandanna, but also a new crate cover! She knows I like my crate dark like a den, but the fleece blankie that was covering it was a bit hot for the summer. Here's pics of my new bandanna and crate cover.



But, not only did I get those cool things in the past week, I also got an awesome cozy, comfy, new blankie! AND, as if that is not cool enough, it is my favorite color AND it says my name on it! Mommy said a very nice lady with her own cute dachsies made it for me. Mommy goes on and on about how nice people on this dachsie board she goes on are. Someone else sent Mommy a pattern to make me more bandannas. With the pattern, she sent a pretty pink bandanna that says Princess. Mommy and I felt like we hit the jackpot that day when we opened the mail because we had both presents! Here's a picture of me loving my new blankie and wearing my princess bandanna. After all, I am a princess ;).

Yesterday, Mommy took me hiking with our friends Nicole and Annabelle. Annabelle is a dachshund/beagle mix and loves to hike too! She gets to go off lead which always makes me jealous. However, this time, Mommy let me use a really long leash so I could do more exploring. I didn't feel as restricted and I loved it! Annabelle also is a lot more daring than me. She loves to swim in the water. I am going to one day but right now I just get my feet and ankles a little wet. Mommy seems to approve of me going in the water so I will get the guts eventually. Mommy also seems happy that I don't roll around in mud and dirt like Annabelle. She gets all stinky and dirty. I am too much of a lady to do that! I think that's why her mom calls her Stink :). I hope we go hiking again soon! It was super fun!
