sleeping like a dog

So, we're here at the B&B--the destination in our vacation adventure. Sixteen hours on the road have left us exhausted. Nicky remembered this place straight away and was comfortable enough to quickly curl up for a nap. Car adventures take a lot out of a little dachshund. They take a lot out of a bigger human, too.

mass affection

Massachusetts! It's been two long years, but honeypie, I'm back. Let's go to the beach tomorrow, shall we?

last of the breed

Nicky dog went to the beauty salon yesterday to get all sparkling clean for his trip East. He came back as cute as always, but it's like they channeled my fairly recent Willie Nelson enthusiasm, and gussied him up with a red bandanna. The bandanna didn't stay on long, but my guy still smells like the ginger-scented shampoo they used. I could drink him up.

dreams of dachshund laptime

What I'd really like to do tonight is stay in, watch a movie with Nick in my lap, and go to bed early. I'm beat and I spent the last couple of nights running around, so it feels like it's been ages since I've spent time with my little dachshund buddy. But...tonight's another late night out, so Nicky time will have to wait until tomorrow. I can't wait! I just hope he's not feeling slighted. I'll have to work extra hard to make it up to him.

damp dachshund

Nicky loves going outside. Except when it's raining. Here he is being a good sport, though he won't pretend he liked it. Still, he looks noble. Rightfully so.
