Open Lettr to naybors weth catz

Deer naybors acros the stret,

U dont want that, do U?

Pondering

Because Im completely nuts, Im always pondering our next dog. We used to be a three dog house, and occasionly up to a five dog house (if you count rescues we bring in and rehome), and so Im not beyond adding another dog to the family.

This is something my OCD brain loves to obsess about, even though it may not become reality any time soon. My husband says our plate is FULL. And he is probably right. It doesnt stop me from dreaming however.

I have been studying dog breeds since I was able to read. Ive changed my mind a million times over the coarse of my life on what I want. Well, because I like almost all of them. I KNOW they arent all good for children and without going into detail I HATE when people insinuate that I dont know.

Im not sure why all this even matters because for years now we havent CHOSEN our dogs anyway, we rescued them and fell in love and kept them. It just HAPPENED, and aside from some food guarding and JRT crazy jumping, and puppy hating...things have been great. We LOVE our dogs. Although we will more than likely accidently end up with another of some unknown type, I like to dream and obsess about what I would choose If I got to choose. The other possibility (a rather strong one) is that we will just go to a shelter and get one. One thing I dream about doing is going on a trip to the Best Friends Animal Society and getting a dog there.

In the meantime I will humor myself....The kids and I have been watching a lot of Breed All About it and Dogs 101 on Animal Planet, so we have been eyeing all kinds of breeds. Some of my favorites are Dobermans, Rottweilers (I am a previous Rottie owner, so I know all about them), and Bull Terriers..you know breeds that have received bad reps due to misinformation, bad breeding, bad handling etc. I also like Rhodesian Ridgebacks and a various assortment of Hounds (my favorite AKC group, by the way). If we ever did do this of course I would study them even further before making a final decision. Im just sayin....Im obsessing and its fun. Of course more wiener dogs is always a possibility. Although, Id kind of like something more for the kids to romp with.








Joey will not be happy, and so I would have my work cut out for me if it was a puppy, but it can be done. Carmen wont mind because it is just one more subject for her to order around.

Food Guarding Royalty

Its a good thing that her majesty didnt really have a bunch of hungry peasants to feed, because Im afraid it would be very ugly. If you are reading this because you are researching doxies, KNOW THIS: They are food possessive. Luckily, our kids were told this from day one, so they dont mess with her bowl of chow. I, however, as you will see in the video below, do. Only because its mildly amusing to me how she will lay near a full bowl of food and seem completely uninterested, UNTIL someone else goes near it. She has ripped cat fur out of the cat over a few nuggets of kibbel. She is serious about her food folks. If you have a child who will not stay away from the dog bowl, such as an infant who doesnt know any better, or a child who just doesnt listen, then either feed the doxie somewhere away from everyone and monitor the situation or...choose another breed. Do not be fooled by the seemingly disinterested dog laying near the food dish. It is a trap.

Open letter to the jerks who beat me to it....

Dear jerks,

You think you are pretty cool dont you? You think that you are just so smart, right? I know you saw me looking at that "free-two female dachshunds, 16 months old-must go together" flyer on the window of the mini mart. You saw me look, rub my chin, and get in my car and leave. I suppose you wasted no time running up to the window and calling the number on your cell phone. Well, let me just say that some of us are indentured servants to the wiener princess, and her right hand man (my husband), and have to actually get PERMISSION before we make such a move. I know too, that you were watching me as I returned later with husband to show him the flyer. You watched as I recoiled in horror to find the flyer gone. Gone. Just an empty space on the window framed by the gum of the tape that used to hold the flyer up. I just hope you are happy. Let me warn you; I better not find out that you took those two precious pups home to your unruly children who will handle them wrong, hurt thier backs and then discard them (the dogs not the children) outside to be "outside" dogs. Oh, and dont let me find out that you turned around and SOLD these two "who must go together" for 400.OO a peice, to seperate homes. Whoa to you if I find out. You have been warned.

Signed,
Spokeswoman for the Princess.

Cuteness Overload

Im about to pass out from too much cute in one picture. Ok, the tiger cub is cute, BUT that wire haired doxie is too much for me to handle. Especially since I cant have one. Its driving me nuts. The princess wont permit it at this time. It would take entirely too much attention away from her, and she doesn't roll like that.
So, I live vicarously through pictures. This just kills me.

Wiener (tooth) Extraction

So, things have been a little quiet here on the weiner princess blog. There is a good reason for that. She went to the dr. the other day, and aside from charming the scrubs off the dr and the staff, she had her little toofers cleaned. In the process she had two teef pulled. So, she is on pain meds and anti biotics, and of course we are all working around the clock here to ensure her comfort and happiness. She insists.

La Reina dice, "Feliz Cinco De Mayo"

She claims just did this "for the children"..she actually hates anything that might provoke the presence of salsa, because then she has to guard her cornchip smelling paws. HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!!!!!!!!!!
