Margot Poopy-Face is 2 years old today! Hard to believe she used to look like this:
I was cuter!
She was really annoying as a puppy - always following me around!
She's all grown up now and no longer a puppy... which means I can beat her up without getting in trouble!
Oh, Margot. Thank Dog you're cute.
I've been gone for far too long! It feels good to be back where I belong - the spotlight! I missed all my friends in the blogosphere, that's for sure! So where did I go? Well, let me tell you a little story...
October 2009: Nina and Margot went to Florida to visit Pony. Margot had a lot of fun hanging out with our new cousin, Halle the Cavi.
After a week in Florida, they flew up to NYC to visit Nina's boyfriend, which didn't go too well... Shortly after returning to California, Nina and her boyfriend of 5 years, broke up. Nina was really sad and kind of depressed.
November 2009 - January 2010: A forlorn Nina was too busy with her own feelings and work, that she neglected me for a few months. I tried my best to make her realize that precious time was being wasted on her depression and that really, it should be spent on me. But she didn't listen. She never listens to me (she underestimates my intelligence).
So then I became depressed... Thanksgiving and Christmas drifted along, like pieces of my broken heart floating down a river of my tears... But now, she is FINALLY snapping out of it. I really hope Nina's New Year's Resolution for 2010 is to stop being selfish about her personal issues, because I matter more. And as much as I hate to admit it, my sisters, Ellie and Margot, matter too. But I matter more.
Well, Nina's a big fat liar. She said she'd help me blog, but her excuse is that she has been too busy. It's always the same lame excuse. And when she's busy, that means our lives are boring. Really boring. So here are some never before seen photos for now... sigh
Ah, I remember Chrissy Field! We haven't been there in forever... Ahem. Nina was trying to take a regal photo of me in front of the Golden Gate Bridge and Margot ruined it by taking a dump. How could she?
I love to sleep and Margot loves to sleep. But Margot likes sleeping on her back. When she sleeps on her back she has crazy dreams where she starts barking and whining. She wakes us up in the middle of the night because of it. Maybe she needs therapy.
Margot and Pippin have a love/hate relationship. Sometimes they get frisky and chase each other and wrestle. Other times, Margot bothers Pippin by trying to hump him. And sometimes Pippin will jump on Margot and bite her neck like a vampire until she screams. They were much nicer to each other when they were both younger.
I was so much happier in the summertime. Now it's cold and I'm always burrowing under the covers.
This is the classic "dachshund as gopher" pose. This is what we doxies do when we want something.
Margot and I play rather viciously. I think we scare people with our teeth and with all the growling and barking. But this is love!
Here we are playing "Following the Leader". I'm the leader. Margot is the follower. Hee hee.Hello Friends!
Guess what? I was chosen to be the Dachshund of the Day on the wonderful website, Daily Doxie. If you're on the Daily Doxie, please leave a comment here with a link to your profile, so that I can add you as a friend!
Doxiementary is about me, Franny, Queen of Everything. But for the next two weeks, Margot, my minion, will be blogging. Why? Well, ask Nina. She has decided to take Margot on vacation with her instead of me! Preposterous, I say! She mentioned the word "fair", but in this case, I think it's UNfair. Really unfair...
I guess because I got to go to New York last time, I'll let Margot enjoy herself just this once. Margot gets to go to Florida AND New York. And because Margot has always taken the back seat on Doxiementary, I guess it's only "fair" to let her be in the spotlight for a minute.
So, I guess I'll be seeing you folks in two weeks!
Smell you later,
Franny
P.S. I really wanted to go to Florida... Please send hate mail to: nina@doxiementary.com
Thanks!
Once upon a time (about TWO weeks ago, to be exact. Right, Nina?)... We all drove down to Santa Cruz for a day of good ole fun in the sun.
There was a lot of seaweed. And there were so many unsuspecting people laying out on their towels, sunbathing. Little did they know that their cancer-soaking activity would be disturbed by dachshund kisses. And little did I know that they wouldn't be very happy about it. At all.
Margot and I had so much fun chasing each other down the beach. Margot is trying to run away from me here, but I'm way too fast. I strategically chomped down on her ear to slow her down. If there was audio, Margot would be screaming. And if this photo was a wide shot, you'd see people staring. HEEHEEHEE.
Margot attempts to surprise-attack me from behind the heap of seaweed! Too bad her pea-brain could never outwit my superior walnut-brain!
Margot cools down while I investigate the strange smells coming from that weird, green thingy.
Okay, I think there are squirrels up there. If I could just climb up...
Sometimes I despise my short legs and long body.
So much for climbing. Now its time to wander off.
Ellie looks crazy. Maybe that's because she is, looney tunes.
Ellie is pooped from fetching her ball all day.
The End.This past week Nina and I were left in charge of "sitting" on some bunnies, a house, and two Yorkies. At least, that's what Nina called it... She's not really the brightest angler fish in the sea, because we didn't sit on any of those things. What we did do was sleepover at Max & Ari's house while their Mom and Dad were away on vacation.
Okay everybody! Listen up! I'm in charge now and it's time to get wild!
Max & Ari say its party time!
Time to jam to some Mozart and Beethoven!
Max & Ari are soooo lucky because they have two bunnies! Two tasty, tasty bunnies.
Oh my dog, you are so cute, I could just eat you up! With butter!
Has anyone ever told you that you smell good? Because you do, bunny. Real good.
If I could just reach you... give you a kiss with my teeth...
In the end, Nina wouldn't let me outside. She said I was harassing the bunnies... and she couldn't stand hearing me shriek like a banshee.
This is my plump friend, Thumper.
And the delicious Snow White.
