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. Leigh came over for a hang and to drop off an Edie for me to watch for a bit. ...but they ended up becoming best buds! Henry was feeling a little shy around Maddy... Took Maddy out for a walk and all she did was stand 10 feet away from my door and watch rats run around deep inside this face-sized hole in the sidewalk. Murder on her mind. Stopped back at home to hang with the monkeys (Edie's butt on the pillow! Ha!) ...she just look at you but can't be torn away. Edie's love affair with my exotic space heater Vornado continues. When you call her name... The looks Maddy gives me are very specific. This one: Got more bone? This one finish. Aww, Piper! They are hilarious to walk together. They are always trying to race ahead in front of each other. I'm the leader of the pack. No, I'M the leader of the pack! ...AND Edie! Hahah. Such cuddle buddies. Laid down for a little Sunday couch nap, and was quickly joined by Maddy... Nice, lil Sunday. Oh, I amuse you? Like a clown? Some kind of clown to you? Pretty much any sound effect works, actually. Play opera while looking at this photo and I guarantee you will crack up. Edie is love with my Vornado space heater and plops down right in front of it every chance she gets. Haha. Enjoyed Edie's magic anti-grav ears. Edie hops up onto his lap every chance she gets. Grant is in denial about liking dogs, but they sure like him. Hahah. On Saturday I took a cab up to Leigh's... ...and grabbed an Edie for a little dog-sitting adventure! Now that Max has arrived, Ted is second-fiddle and he'll even let me pet him now. Uh, little help please? Came home on Saturday afternoon to find Maddy with her head stuck through the blanket-hole again. ...the Sisters Houndine. Alysha was in town and came for a visit on Friday night. She tried my Kasina Mind Machine and got some quality hang time with... Brought the pack back to mine to hang. On Wednesday afternoon I walked to Washington Square Park to meet up with Ellen. We had 4 dogs between us. Haha. Such a good boy. ...to sit for a photo on a star-shaped piece of ice. Ok, but why you wake it, though? Always love waking up to find out what configuration of blankets and butt-to-butt arrangements these two have come up with over night. Hey, guess what? Dachshunds are so hot right now. My mom got to pick out our family dog and we got a giant, apricot Standard Poodle named, Goldie!
