a thing in 805 photos dogs Look at this lil guy! I sat there with our two aging dachshunds, holding my friends' ten-month old baby... Dexter trying to get a puff of that sweet vape. I'm writing this in May of 2022 and I'm sad to report that Dreiss just passed away two weeks ago. RIP, buddy! You were such a good boy! Sunday morning hike with Maddy and Dreiss. Catrinel and Dreiss! Later that night I went over to Meredith's for dinner and a hang. On Sunday morning Meredith dropped off Major for a day of dogsitting so she could spend Mother's Day with her family. Major had a bit of a what you'd call a "leaky penis" problem so Meredith made him a velcro band with bananas on it so he wouldn't nervously dribble pee all over my apt. On Saturday morning Meredith came over with Major and she brought along matching Hawaiin shirts for the dogs to wear to the Washington Square Park Dachshund Meetup. (Maddy is always so bummed when I put her in any kind of costume.). "Dad, please take this off me." And old goaty-looking ones. So many cute ones. Major was excited to meet some wirehaired buddies. In the end, we decided to take them over in the NUDE! They were so happy to be walking crosstown together. Adorable. Maddy's feeling were hurt. lol. She stuck around at my apartment to watch the hounds... On Saturday Meredith came over with her new wire-haired dachshund, Major! Double doggies! ...with Matt to visit Ellen! She'd brought along Dreiss and he was really excited about the snow. Went north out of the city to visit Ellen and Hans at their new home for the first time! Congrats, you two! Meredith was there and was one day away from leaving for her trip to Myanmar to visit Jack . Going through old pics and I found this great pic of my dad's father taken while he was on an island in the Pacific Theater in WWII. Check out the cute pup on his lap. Maddy made a wiener bud. ....tired! Miss this ol gal! Such majestic beasts! Sunday morning Maddy was hanging out with her Mexican ceramic counterpart. Maddy was very interested and gentle! They had some cute interspecies nose bumping before moving on our way! Wiener dog reunion! Teddy likes to have a wedged-head. Weirdo. Spent the evening down the street from my parent's place hanging out with Uncle Bruce! Dexter and Maddy are buds. Maddy ran into her favorite pack of Poms on our walk! She feel asleep on my couch cuddling Maddy her feets! On Monday evening I brought Maddy over to Ellen's for a dog hang. Nest dog is excited to meet you. Maddy love laying on my Biomat heating pad. "Turn on, please?" Making dog friends We picked Hans up at work and he hopped in the back so that he could wrangle The Dude. ...with my big-nose buddy before a long night out. When dogs look this pathetic... ...you gotta buddy-up with them. ...and we headed upstate to visit... ...and Piper and The Dude picked me up... Thanks again, Hans! Very thankful to know you! Such a turkey! Doesn't want to go outside in the cold! So tired from chasing squirrels all afternoon. Maddy was so excited to go out into their backyard where she can chase squirrels free-range. We did a little pre-gaming at my place... Gurj came over after work. I let the dogs out (mystery solved) to greet her! I love how this guy has white body but a brown head. ...where these two hilarious dogs sit behind the counter. Took these two ladies on a long walk over to the pet store on 9th Street... Friday morning double hound walk! Meredith came over for a hang in the evening. Hanging with my sleepy buddy in the afternoon. Saw Jane Anne on Monday and she got to do the double-dachshund cuddle. Loving Edie on Saturday morning. Haha. Sunday snugglers. Such a pillow-sitter. ...so neither of these ladies wanted to go outside. (I set Edie up with a heating pad for her sore back). Dachshund yin & yang. Held up a piece of chicken in the air to get this photo of these two looking like well behaved dogs. Swaddled so hard. Is it my turn for holding yet? Meredith had recently broken up with Dylan and our HEARTBREAK HOTEL agreement always stands so she came to stay on the couch for a few days and took turns holding the dogs until she felt better. Quality time with my favorite houseguest. Misses being an only child. Oh, did I wake you? Wiener dog in front of a wiener dog sign! Danny had some wienery friends at his apartment... ...and we made fast friends! Smashed by a pillow with paws peeking out! Walk me? Thanks for driving, Ellen. And for having for having such an accommodating lap. This is such a next level move to be casually driving around with two dogs on your lap. Hahah. Loading the crew back up. Sweeeeet freedom! Exploring so hard. We drove to a park in Ellen's hometown. City dogs dying to be let off leash! Face on dashboard logistics. Wiener walkin. Started the month off strong with a double dog hang Gurj slumber party. After walking these ladies... Follows the sun. My friend, Hunchy. Caught reading my diary! Edie! Hey, pal - how about a tummy scratch? Dog-gang hang! Morning hangs with Edie. Hound walk! Perfect Friday summer weather. Walked these two characters... It's good to have an Edie! Heard some commotion in the evening and walked into my office to see that Maddy had caught and killed a mouse. So proud! Tuesday morning dachshund / chicken standoff. Teddy is really excited about the backyard! Got some real good reading in with my reading partner.
