Happy Barkday Aunt Cindy!!!!!

Today is the Barkday of mjy beloved Aunt Cindy, also known to Blogville as the World's Greatest Quilter as well as Millie and Walter's Mom

Just click on the above link to wish her a Happy Barkday and tell her that Tasha sent you (and that Tasha is all packed and ready to come for a visit!)  Aunt Cindy is the one on the left holding me!

I am the luckiest girl in the world!

 Good morning Blogville! Tasha, Queen of the Urban Jungle reporting in! 

 Yesterday I received the most wonderful package in the mail, from my wonderful and PERFECT Aunt Cindy!  

Imitating Puddles

 That is right, MY Aunt Cindy remembered my birthday and ensured that it was a great one!  (Take a hint WHN!)

Dad helped me open the package this morning- for some reason he forgot about it until today, even though it arrived yesterday!  

 The package had the most delicious smells so I put on my Puddles' hat and dove right in, just like the mighty huntress herself.  No beer or cheetohs, but what wonders did this package hold!

 First up were TWO humungous Greenies, just for me!  Second there were two packages of specialty treats that I will be sharing with the others, as Aunt Cindy is the world's best treat maker as well as the world's best quilter! 

 Then the piece de resistance- an original Aunt Cindy bandanna just for me!  In my signature color- Tasha pink!  I look GAWJUS in it!  I bet Shiloh will think so too!

 Here I am modelling the latest in hawt couture from Aunt Cindy

 Then the bestest card from my cussins, Millie the Magnificent and Walter the Wonderful! 

Posing with all my loot!

I had to make sure that the Greenie was made properly so I snatched one and ran off to my favorite snacking place, the loveseat!

Aunt Cindy, you are the greatest!!!!!






BTW, WHN is home and driving us nuts-  She came through her "ordeal" just fine and is now making us suffer for it- we had to sleep with her on the couch last night so she could prop up her leg without any of us walking on it- as if we would do that (ok, so I walk all over her at night, but only until I have driven the bed badgers out of it first).  Thankfully Dad is home today to intervene on our behalf!


BTW- since I love Aunt Cindy so much I am going to have her make the rest of the pack bandannas for Christmas!  Maybe you should have her make you and your pack some too?

Pssst! We has a secret!

Look what is coming to Blogville!  Our very own MALL!!!  Have you been saving up your bones and treat moneys?  

OMD!!!!  We are simply busting with our secret!  Snoopy, is WHN around?  No?  Good-  Here it is!  Dad got a business license for us here in Missouri so we can properly snoopervise WHN and make extra treat money!  that is right- we are the official Dachsies With Moxie Custom Embroidery Shoppe, located right here in sunny Missouri, on the banks of both the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers! No company logo or website yet, but we will be offering loads of embroidered goodies for all our BLogville friends!  Scarves, mouse pads, ornaments, cards, card holders, coffee sleeves, you name it!  Christmas is right around the corner!  AND we of course will still be offering our world famous quilts and placemats- they are the very first items in our PBM shoppe!  

Our Aunt Cindy, Mom to Millie and Walter has a fabulous post on her blog, but WHN is lazy so has copied and pasted it here for us to read :

GOTCHA DAY! Tasha the Queen of the Urban Jungle

practicing for the Olympics

 One year ago today, the DWM (Ginger, Chip and Thai) travelled to the wilds of SE Pennsylvania to pick up a foster dachsie.  Unfortunately, the one to be fostered was adopted, but another remained- one look at Dad and she started jumping for joy and barking to get her little paws on him.  Dad obliged by putting a leash on her collar, and she leapt into his arms and licked his face (obviously he had not washed his face properly and she recognized this).  On the four hour car ride back home, Tasha quickly settled in with the DWm, enjoying McDonald's nuggets and behaving like a spoiled royal.  22 hours later, WHN was forced by the Dynamic Duo (Dad and Tasha) to call DRNA and admit that she had failed as a foster again and that Tasha was going no where.  Tasha has, in this past year, brought great joy to our lives and has been of great comfort to WHN since Ginger and then Thai left for the Rainbow Bridge.  She and her spiritual twin, Miss Lily Belle, share their Aunt Cindy (Blogville's World's Greatest Quilter) graciously.  Tasha has become Queen of our hearts, the Queen of the Unstuffed Stuffed Squeaky toys (star pupil at the Field Dressing Academy run by Ernie, Frankie's little brother).  She is the
Queen of the Urban Jungle and the neighborhood has learned to fear her roar as she announced that she is awake each and every morning.  Last, but not least, she is the beloved sweetheart of Shiloh, from Team Beaglebratz, and is already planning her first trip to Kansas to see him (right after she figures out how to get back to her BFF, Miss Cindy!) Tasha, Happy Gotcha Day baby doll!!!
