Daisy’s Tales
Thursday October 30th, 2008 at 8:41 amLast weekend I found a bunch of new photographer friends who happen to maintain blogs for their dogs. I’ve been in love with Dooce’s Daily Chuck for sometime now .. and I know I dont take enough pictures of my puppies .. so .. in an effort to do that .. I updated Daisy’s Tales and hopefully I’ll keep up with it. There’s no way I’m going to have a daily picture of my pups .. because lets face it .. neither of them can balance things on their head [see: Chuck] .. but hopefully I’ll update once or twice a week 
[Daisy's Tales]
On this day: Fix it and Forget it Tuesday , Dryer update ..
How cute is he!
Sunday October 26th, 2008 at 8:03 pmI’m just going to repost what I just posted over on my photo blog .. this guy is too adorable not to share with everybody
I brought my camera to the dog park this afternoon hoping to catch some recent pictures of my 2 little ones then this guy showed up. He’s only 14 weeks old and soooo tiny!
Here he is hanging out with Daisy, she was really gentle with him.
This yorkie is smaller then my mini dachshunds. With 3 chihuahuas and this yorkie, Big Boy & Daisy were close to the biggest dogs in the park
Well here’s one shot I got of Big Boy
And one of Daisy, and surprise, I caught her with her eyes closed. I swear this dog closes her eyes for the camera on purpose, she’s almost impossible to photograph! I have a whole photo album with pictures of Daisy with her eyes shut.
On this day: WIIILLLLLLMMMMMAAAAA!, December 21, 2012
Big Pup

For some reason, after our last trip to south florida, Big Boy decided that he no longer wanted to jump off the bed. That is a really good thing, since dachshunds are really prone to back problems as they get older. Though I think he might’ve pulled something running after Rocky or Nia, in any case, he learned that if he whined (and by whined, I mean a super high pitched wiener dog bark), one of us would come and rescue him and place him safely on the ground. He also started to use his stairs, but only if it took one of us too long to get to him. Now .. its been at least 2 weeks of this .. and he’s realized that yelping on the bed is a fantastic way to get a human to come pay attention to him. He’ll yelp and scream (I mean the dog really sounds like he’s in pain if you’ve never heard it before), and I’ll rush in there to help him down. As soon as I reach the side of the bed he starts jumping all over the blankets and pillows, tail wagging furiously, nipping at my fingers and taunting me with a play bow .. yes it gets annoying .. but its sooooo cute! He’s learned to manipulate the system to his advantage very quickly
Now if he would just learn to cry at the door when he needs to go out :(

He wiggled out of it a few seconds after these pics.
Watched a bunch of movies this weekend .. Charlie Wilson’s War, Lars & the Real Girl, There Will Be Blood and Reign Over Me. I enjoyed all of them & LOVED Charlie Wilson’s War

Thursday May 29th, 2008 at 10:16 pmToday I realized my site looks really boring right now .. here are a few puppy pics I snapped today:
Driving Miss Daisy
She would ride like this everywhere if I let her ..
But right after we took that picture (still on our dirt road), both dogs were moved to the safety of their car carrier
Big Pup loves to model ..
He comes and tells me to get the camera
Then Daisy does things like this to take my attention away (and big pup’s)
And she always demands to be the center of attention
pay attention to MEEEEEEEEEEEE
Much Better
Monday May 26th, 2008 at 11:43 amThank you to all my well wishers. A day in bed was all I needed, yesterday I got up and cleaned the house, did all the laundry and even joined my neighbors for their Memorial Day BBQ for a bit. Although hanging out in the hot sun really took its toll on me, so I ended up taking a nap and woke up to Sean making chicken soup from scratch! It was a good day
Then, we let Daisy out around 8pm, but she didn’t come back in off the porch. When I went out to check on her, I found her with her nose buried in a coffee mug Sean had left on the patio table. She came in .. ran around .. then curled up with us by 10pm. We were totally shocked she wasn’t wired. She was sound asleep in her crate by 11.
But a little before 3am she started whining, and crying .. and no amount of ‘Daisy, sleep’, ’shhhhh’ (Dog Whisperer) or ‘uh ah’ (It’s Me or the Dog) would get her to stop. Soon I realized she was panting. So I dragged myself out of bed and let her out onto the porch. She started running back and forth from inside the room to the porch like a crazy dog. Once she stopped in the room so I thought she was ready to go back to bed, but when I stood up she sprinted out to the porch again. So I decided to let her out into the yard. I have no idea if it was the coffee or if the dog was just nuts .. but she just hopped around in the yard looking for frogs and didn’t care that I was standing there in my PJs dying to go back to sleep. After 10 min I opened the door and called her in and she sprinted back through the door. I curled back up in bed, and listened to her run around the house. But to my surprise she was sleeping on me within 5 minutes. Of course she woke me up at 7:15am demanding her breakfast like every other morning.

Wednesday May 21st, 2008 at 11:09 amMy dogs love when I take a shower. Yesterday, Daisy curled up and waited patiently on my bath mat while I soaped up. Why? I have no idea. She likes to lick the water off my legs, while I run away telling her to stop & leave me alone. Big Boy loves to jump into the shower (after the water is turned off) and try to lick up whatever he can. I make sure I rinse out all the extra soap because of that. I have a feeling its because we give them filtered water, and the tap water just tastes better to them. I really have no idea. But what I do know, is every once in a while I’ll leave a towel on the floor .. and man, do they love to roll on damp towels. Again, I dont know if its because of the water or maybe because it smells fresh and clean (big boy will also roll in air freshener .. and dead things) but they seem to really enjoy it.
This is just after I laid the towel down .. daisy is rubbing her nose in it.
Then she starts to roll on her side
Then she wiggles around on her back
Man, this dog is in HEAVEN
“Ooooooh that’s soooooo goood”
“thank you thank you thank you”
Big boy comes to see what’s going on .. check out Daisy’s lip curl .. she didn’t get mad or make any noise, but doesn’t she look disgusted her brother showed up?
Rubbing her face while big boy watches
I love how she picked up the edge in her teeth to pull it over her
“Mmmmmmm wet towel”
Big Pup finally joins in
He’s just a little bit off
Notice he’s not even on the towel …
“Wait, you’re taking pictures of me?!?”
Back to rubbin’ & rollin’
Finally he gets his face on the towel
And then Daisy starts bugging him to get her towel back
Daisy pouting on the bed
Such a sweet big pup!
Camera hog had to jump up when I was taking pictures of her brother. I love how just her nose is in focus
*wink wink*
Big Pup getting comfy.
Here are their new stairs so they can get off the bed safely .. but they only use them to go up 
Thanks for playing with us!!!!
I picked up a Wii Fit today, I’m so excited! I’ll fill you in later on

I have a brand new lens today .. a 50mm 1.4 .. check out this depth of field!
Since I managed to delay my Disney posting ..
Thursday May 15th, 2008 at 12:00 pmLiz actually beat me to uploading the 2nd half of our Disney pics You can head over our Kodak Gallery to see them all, but here are a few of my favorites.
Here we are on our way to meet Nemo
Ella watching a sea turtle
Dory, Marlin & Nemo!!
And this is where Ella turned 5 years old right infront of our eyes
This morning Big Pup didn’t eat his breakfast .. so we went to the vet this afternoon where they discovered a ‘bug’ in his stool. They gave him some fluids under his skin (so he looked like a camel for a bit) and some meds to help with the stomach problems. Daisy also got some of the same medications, just in case. Hopefully all will be back to normal tomorrow
As for the fires, that update I got were that the fires were 40% contained. That surprises me because I cant see any plumes out there, although the horizon is all together very gray.
