OUR Christmas Tree

We have been enjoying seeing da fotos of everybuddy's beautiful Christmas Trees and Holiday Decorations. So I told my momma, that I would like to share some fotos of Our "Tree"

 See our Hero Snoopy and Charlie Brown.........

Remember this Image........

Here is OUR Tree..........................................................Notice any resemblence?!?!?!?!

My sissie, Pickles was speechless was my momma brought this "tree" home......(fur all you furrends outside of Texas......notice that we have NO snows....only brown leaves fur Christmas)

Pickles tried to get into da Spirit of Christmas and have her foto taken Underneath da Christmas Tree.........butt sadly her did not really fit.

Oh well, its da thought that counts, and my momma is all happy and excited to setup her Charlie Brown Tree. One added bonus, is that the after Christmas "take down" is easy-peasy!!

My momma might be taking this whole Snoopy/Peanuts thing a little far, do you think?!?!?!?

Dachshund Taxi - Now in Service

My momma has always been inspired by Miss Khyra and Mayzie and Shawnee and other blogfurrends who are involved in Rescue Transport.


So, just this week, an opportunity came up fur my mom to join one of our local Dachshund Rescue Groups as a Transport Volunteer.   And yesterdays, our truck, Big Red was transformed into 

THE DACHSHUND TAXI

And here was her very first passenger:

He is a Beautiful Red Standard Boy that her picked up from our County Dog Shelter and transferred to a local Vet Clinic for checkup, treatments etc before he is put up for adoption by Dachshund Rescue (just like where I came from)!


The Rescue Intake Volunteer Coordinator identifies dachshunds left at City, County and Other HighKill Shelters and contacts volunteer transporters to go 'bail them out' of these places.


In fact, when da Co-ordinator furst contacted my momma about her 'First Mission', this beautiful boy had already been placed in line for "that very very very bad place" at the County Shelter.


He was a very sweet boy during the transport adventure with my momma.  He was da perfect gentleman

Now here is da funny part..........................................
As part of her Transport Duties, my momma takes fotos of da Rescue Pup for the Groups website (this is NOT her strong point)................AND her gets to select the NAME fur the dog!!!  


WHAT?!?!?


Do they know WHO they are asking to pick out a name fur a new dog?!?!?!
Have they talked to my new sissie-who-FINALLY-got-a-name, Pickles?!?!?!


So, depending on locations fur da Transport, my poor indecisive momma has approximately two hours to decide on a name fur da new Rescue!  Sheesh!


The Rescue Group is currently using a College Theme fur dogs coming into the program..........so may I present:

Raider Red!

We wish him da best while he is at da Vet Clinic getting all checked out and "snipped".   And then we wish him a new Furever Home with da Quickness!

What's In a NAME ???

Ever since my new sissie came to live with us a few short days ago (October 16th to be exact!) my momma has been thinking and thinking and trying out many new names fur her.

Me and Poor-prolly-will-never-have-a-name-of-her-own Sissie held several conferences to try and help my momma out in this process

You look like a Krebs dog to me..........do you want to be Mona Krebs?

We even had a few 'spats' over what we thought da most pawfect name should be..........

You mean you don't like da name Minna Jr ???

Frankly, da poor thing got tired of da whole naming process.........


"Wake Me When You Decide........."


Then LOW and BEHOLDS, while my momma was watching da Texas A&M Football Game, a name POPPED into her head,   and her EXCLAIMED.......

THIS IS IT!    

This is the most perfect name for her!

And even Uncle Tommy-da HarleyMan agreed.........butt this might be because he was grateful her finally picked a name.  We may never know fur sure on this...

So please allows me to present my new sissie's name

Are you ready?!?!?!?!?!

My New Sissie.................

Pickles !

Yeppers folks, that is what we all waited almost two whole months for.... Pickles.   

Butt, her seems to like it, and most impawtently, my momma likes it and finally decided on a name.

Now to be official..........her is called

Pickles V. Sorrell

The V part is for Vlasic........Uncle Tommy came ups with that part, like the Pickle company.

Butt, da Sorrell part my crazy momma thought of, beclaws there is a kinda famous celebrity named of Pickles Sorrell.

Can anyones remember what TV Show (thats a hint) that Pickles Sorrell was in?

No fair Googling to find out....heeeheee

I knew it was gonna be something different...........

Pickles Vlasic Sorrell

butt you can call me Pickles !
