SNOW!!!!!

 Yesterday we had about three inches of snow and we are again getting more of the flakey stuff.  What a way to start the New Year!  As you can see from yesterday's photos, Tasha and Anna Rose had different ways of celebrating our first real snow fall of the year, and of winter!  Tasha decided that What's Her Name did not need her bathrobe, as she needed to get inside and ended up wearing the left sleeve herself!  Thankfully WHN was wearing a flannel nightgown that Dad had given her several years ago- she is flakey enough as it is!

Anna Rose, the love of Max Da Odder Weinie, loves the snow and pranced around for quite some time in the flakes as they fell from the clouds.  She is doing better, but will probably need to have the IV fluids every other day.  She is drinking more, and going outside with her Daddy every couple of ours.  She devours her vitamins and her new foodables, as long as her Daddy feeds them to her!  After her adventures in the morning snow, she snuggled up in her new Christmas blankie and supervised her Dad while he worked on his Navy correspondence courses!

87 Million Feet of Snow

Well, here in the wilds of Northeast Ohio, we are getting 87 million trillion feet of snow!!!!  Mom had to shovel the porch three times today so we could go outside, and she also did the steps and a path out to the grass.  The snow is not due to end until next week sometime.  The local weather forecasters are more accurate than the Weather Channel!!!  (Even the local NBC affiliate, which Mom loathes, is more accurate)

Mom is keeping us warm inside with Dingos rawhide chewies and we are keeping her busy with "Spot", our new DachsieBot.

It's cold here!!!

More snow is on the way and both Mom and Thai have colds.  Mom's is so bad, she was up all night and Dad had to bring home Chinese for dinner, so that Mom would not give him her cold ( at least that was what she said- Dad fell for her big blue eyes again)

Today will be spent on the couch, keeping warm, until it is time to go pick up Dad from work- he is oncall this weekend and even has the federal holiday off!!!  We are letting Mom use our car, since she is taking us with her.  Obviously she needs Ginger to drive and the boys to navigate- why do humans think they can do these things without us? 

87 Million Feet of Snow

Can you believe it- we got 87 million feet of snow.  This morning Mom had to dig out a trail to the lawn, from the porch, so we could "take care of business".  Unfortunately, the snow is too tall for us to go out onto the lawn, so we started using the carpeted step just off the porch, much to Mom's dismay.  Then she had to take Dad (she called him Geoff in the posting about the beach- sorry for the confusion- you know how blondes are!!!) to work, since his company truck is in the shop till Monday, AND SHE LEFT US HOME!!!!!!  Can you believe the cruelty- should we file a grievance with the ASPCA?  Any ideas how to get back at her?  She didn't even ask our permission to use OUR CAR!!!!!


(For all our doggie friends and bloggers- thanks for the love!!!!  We stayed at the La Quinta Inn and Suites at Broadway at the Beach, because the chain is dachshund friendly (and their prices are just right!!!)

Trouble in Ohio

Thanks to Frankie Furter, we know that there is a HUGE snow storm heading our way!!!!  Frankie says we can expect 87 feet of the stuff, after we got rid of it all (until it snowed again this week)

What a way to start our trip- Mom looked up the storm on Drudge, and we are driving right through it tomorrow- Won't miss out on the snow until we hit SC!!!!!  Help- Pray that the 87 million feet of snow doesn't start until after everyone is home from work!!!

Winter- MORE SNOW!!!!

We received more than two inches of the flaky stuff last night and it is snowing right now!!!! When will the horror end?  Will we end up with 87 feet of the stuff?   We could see the entire yeard, full of grass yesterday- now it is covered with this cold white stuff again.

Anyhoo- next weekend, Mom and Dad are taking the Dynamic Trio to South Carolina!!!  Mom's godmother is in hospice care and she wants to see her again, as does Dad.  We get to tag along, but we have to be very good at the hotel.  Ginger is an old hand at staying at hotels and going on really long (87 hours) car rides. Now Chip and Thai are going to get into the act as intrepid explorer dachsies.  We know the trip isn't a vacation, but maybe we can go to the beach in the afternoon. 

(Apologies to Frankie for stealing his 87 thunder)

SNOW!!!!!

Ginger looking ravishing as she models her Glamour to the Bone hoodie while traversing the snow just off the front porch.  MORE SNOW is on the way!!!!!

SNOW!!!!! AGAIN!!!!!

Chip made a run for it this morning- however, the snow was too deep for him.  Here he returns home from next door, where Ginger's boyfriend lives.  *His "runs" only entail using next door's lawn in lieu of ours, I guess for a change of "scenery")

SNOW!!!! When will this end?

Looking out from the safety of our garage- what is a dachsie to do?
















Our driveway is overrun by the snowflake brigades.

HELP!!!!

More computer problems!!!

Can you believe it- just when Mom is getting ready to post the pictures of the snow from today and of course, the photos of Grandpaw and Grandmaw, the EVIL DELL loses the hard drive thingy on her.  Now she cannot use her computer to look at these great photos!!!  What is a poor dachsie to do?  How are our fans to survive without these photos of us? 

On a better topic- still snowing here in NE Ohio.  We are supposed to get from 1 to 3 inches more, but Mom and Dad think that we will get more than that.  It is supposed to snow tomorrow and again from Thursday thru Sunday.

We promise our legions of fans photos- We can see Mom scheming away right now!!!!

SNOW!!!!!

We received about four inches last night and more is coming.  Grandpaw and Grandmaw are back home and called from their train to tell us that they miss us already!!!  Will post photos of them with us later as Mom has to help Dad- his company truck broke down and we have to go car!!!!!
