Break Time

Hello, everyone. My life has become a little overwhelming right now, so I have decided to take a break from blogging. I know it's been a while since I posted, but I've decided to make it official. I feel guilty twice a week when my reminder pops up on my to-do list to blog. Be rest assured, everything is fine and the boys are doing just great. You can always catch us on our Facebook page, Twitter, or email, Life with Doxies at gmail dot com (you figure it out!). Facebook is your best bet, since I am most likely to post quick statuses or links or pictures there. I will miss all of your comments, and I hope to be back soon!

Bath Time!

It was bath time in our house last night. I apologize for the poor quality photos. I forgot to get the camera ready, so I was in a rush to take the pictures after the bath. (Apparently, when your camera lens fogs up, the pictures come out foggy, too. Weird how that works....)

"If we look cute enough this time, can we never take another bath?"

Longingly gazing out of the tub, hoping they can soon run free
 
Kool is pretty much a drowned rat after bath time

Did Kool get a perm?

"Mom, stop taking pictures of Kool. Take a picture of me! See? I'm dry already!"

Dirty look from the prissy man who hates getting wet

The boys seem so calm in those pictures, but they go crazy when they get out. Check them out in the video!

Marymoor Meetup

A couple of weekends ago, we went on a doggie meetup to Marymoor Park and Lucky Jack's Latte. Lucky Jack's is located just outside Marymoor, and they welcome doggies. The namesake, Jack, is often found wandering around, greeting customers - human and canine alike.

This meetup group isn't limited to dachshunds. Our Pup 'N Pints group is for dogs of all shapes and sizes. We usually go to a park to get the dogs' energy out, then eat at a dog-friendly restaurant or cafe. Sometimes we'll head to a brewery to get the "pints" part of our meetup in!

While we always enjoy our doxie meetups, it's nice to socialize with other kinds of dogs, too. Swift and Kool can be a little reserved around other dogs. They finally interact with other dachshunds, so now we're working on being nice to other kinds of dogs.

Here are a few pictures from our wonderfully sunny day!


Amber and Swift sniffing something.


It must have been gross, because Amber decides to roll in it!


The Boston Terrier is Zoe. Her owner is Jessica
(a different Jessica from our doxie group).
She started the meetup and does a great job organizing.


The brown Boston's name is Kona. He and Zoe are neighbors and best friends.
They are quite the pair when you get them together!


Doxies walking next to Jack (not Lucky Jack).


Amber, our little sweetheart


Looks like somebody might have treats! Nothing else could get
Swift's and Kool's attentions like that!


Fur Monster, Tag!!


Jack is a cutie-pie! He's 10 years old. I couldn't believe it. He's so small!


What do you see in the woods, Tag?


I think Ozzie is soooo adorable! I love dogs with beards!


Swift trying to be a people, like always. I think he's hoping
that someone left a bag with treats in it.


One of our many attempts to get the doxies to look at us at the same time.
