Merry Christmas And A Very Happy New Year!!

I know it has been a long time with no post! But, the girls begged me to post tonight to wish everyone a wonderful New Year!! Welcome 2009!

Oh Poo!

Okay, let's keep it real here. With every dog comes loyalty and unconditional love. However, dogs also come with an ability to poop. Every dog owner at one point or another has to deal with the dreaded poop mistake in the house. The last couple of weeks, we have been dealing with unusual rain fall and my girls have been REALLY stubborn about going outside to the bathroom on the wet ground. Luckily, Bella is pee pad trained and Kadi will eventually do what you ask her too, but I have to downright beg for them to go in the rain (mind you, while I am also standing out in the pouring rain getting drenched myself and singing the good ol' pee pee song and promising all of the best treats in the world if they would JUST GO!). The other night, I smelled something "suspicious" and when I got out of the recliner to investigate and took a step forward, I realized my foot went right into.... Poo! EWW!! It was pretty much the nastiest experience of my life! So, after sanitizing the carpet and my foot and disposing of the waste, I realized that David was laughing hysterically. I am glad someone got a laugh out of it! I am sure if Bella had the ability to laugh, she would be joining in with him! Anyway, the next day, I was eating a frozen Asian meal and the bottom of the box had a fortune cookie that said "You will set foot on the soil of many countries." David's response? "Didn't you set foot on foreign soil last night?" Ha, Ha, Ha! I am not sure I will every live this down, but as the saying goes, "Everyone Poops!" So, to end this post, I found this Purina advertisement clip that went along with the pooping incident I experienced.

See, I got a bad tummy ache last weekend and had to spend 2 whole days at that yucky place mommy takes me sometimes to get shots. It was really bad cause i didn't even get to play fetch the whole time i was there! now, my mommy won't let me have ANY table scraps!now all i get to eat is DOG FOOD. A dachshund can't live on dog food alone, EVERYONE knows that!! so, anyone out there who is willing to help me out, SEND FOOD!

Dachshund Commercial Break!

Here are some funny Pedigree Dachshund Commercials for your enjoyment that I found on You Tube. If you know Bella, or have a Dachshund, you'll get it. :)

10 Things About Me

Okay, so I ALWAYS post about my dogs and today I decided to spice things up and post something about me. Here it goes, 10 things about me:

1. I am scared of sparklers because when I was little I burned my index finger with one.

2. I really love sharks, and once wanted to become a shark biologist, but a picture of a great white can scare me to the point where I jump and scream.

3. I am extremely picky about what I eat, but my favorite show is Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern (David could seriously throw up watching it while I cannot get enough of the it).

4. I am right handed, but I also use my left hand to eat sometimes.

5. I wash my vegetables and fruit with soap and water (Don't tell me you have never seen someone sneeze all over the veggies at the grocery store.)

6. I love children's books and would write one if I could figure out what to say.

7. When I was about 8 years old; my cousin, brother and I once took the car for a "ride" on accident. We ended up in reverse in the middle of the street not knowing what we did. I had nothing to do with it, but no one believes me.. still.

8. I always hear that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but that can't be true because I rarely eat it. I still function well.

9. I have to sing a song to Bella to make her go to the bathroom and it is a really loud annoying song that drives even me crazy (my neighbors probably think I am strange).

10. I always wanted to be an ice skater or a ballerina which is funny considering I have absolutely no coordination.

Well, there you have it! Ten things about me!

Scared of Monsters and Kadi's Attitude

I'm back! Can you believe it??? I have actually posted almost every day this week! SCARY! Speaking of scary, Bella would like to show you something that she finds particularly scary. It doesn't lurk in the dark places that go bump in the night either. This scary thing is found in the most unlikely of places... IN BROAD DAYLIGHT!!! AND... IN THE CAR!!! Check it out(You will want to turn up the volume for the full effect):



In Kadi news, since she has gotten older, she has developed a little "attitude". Don't get me wrong, she is still the sweet one of the family, but she seems to carry herself with a much more attitude of confidence since we got Bella, as if the stake her claim on being the "wise" one. Here lately, she has not been wanting to come inside from outside when I tell her to and has been downright grumpy with me sometimes when I ask her to do something. Don't get me wrong, she will always do what I ask her to, but lately she has been a little more fussy about it. By fussy and grumpy I mean, she gives me "the look" and won't move. This "look" is a look that I can only imagine teenagers give their parents when they don't want to do something they are told =). I bought a shirt yesterday for Bella (since she is the only one who will wear outfits) because I thought the saying was cute, but then I decided the shirt's saying was much more suitable for Kadi. Here she is:

Puttin' on the Ritz!

What do I do in my spare time? Why, I created funny dance videos of me and David. Don't be fooled, it really is us dancing. Ha, ha! =) Have a good laugh... at our expense!!

Making a Splash!

Okay, so I know it has been since November since my last post. I admit I am a bad blogger, but this video was too funny not to share!! Enjoy it because I may not post anything else for another seven months! Ha, ha!

Sugar and Spice

I say when life gives you lemons, play a game of fetch with Bella! She is such a funny girl, she is always making me laugh. Tonight I bought her a pack of 4 brand new balls for her to play fetch with. Well, she couldn't decide which of the four balls she wanted to play with, so she kept going back and forth to each ball over and over again. She was trying really hard to put both of them in her mouth at the same time, but her mouth wasn't big enough. She is such a silly girl! Kadi is my sweet girl, always there to cuddle and love you when you feel upset. My Bella is the clown of the household and if she can't make you laugh, then nothing can make you laugh! I always call those two "Sugar and Spice." Kadi is the sugar and Bella is the spice!

Anyway, I saw a saying on cafepress.com on a shirt design and first it made me laugh, then I thought hmm... this is Bella's way of thinking about everything! Here it goes:

Dachshund Property Laws:

1. If I like it, it's mine.

2. If it's in my mouth, it's mine.

3. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.

4. If I can take it from you, it's mine.

5. If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours.

6. If it just looks like mine, it's mine.

7. If I saw it first, it's mine.

8. If it's edible, it's mine.

9. If you have something, and put it down, it's mine.

10. If I chew something up, all the pieces are mine.

11. If I get tired of it, it's yours.

12. If I want it back, it's mine.

Happy Halloweenie!!!

Okay, I know it is the day before Halloween, but I couldn't help myself. Bella decided to dress up in her halloween hot dog costume a day early and ham it up for the camera. Okay, so I had to literally bribe her to pose for the camera with treats and her favorite ball, but the picture turned out TOO CUTE! Okay, here it is....

Hot dog! Isn't she the cutest?? As Bella herself would say,"Yup, Yup. Yup!"

Have a Happy Halloween (ie)!!
