Wishful Wednesday

It is time to make a confession here in BlogLand..................................My mom has an ADDICTION.


She be addicted to da Dachshunds!!!!   How else do you explain a woman who has had 16 dachshunds in her life.......and for a time, she had SEVEN at the same time.

Now, the way she sees it.....right now she has ONLY four.   Butt to most peoples (Uncle Tommy especially) dat be more than enoughs.   One of the steps to conquer addiction is to recognize and admit you haves a problem.....Well, my mom does recognize she has this issue, butt that is as far as she gets in her 12 steps to recovery.  (She is hopeless)

Since it be almost two whole years since she adopted me, she be starting to 'get the itch' to finds another dachshund for our 'family'.  One of her 'hobbies' is to surf the dachshund rescue websites, and ooh and aah over all the beautiful dachshunds dat be needing a home.  And she has it in her 'mind' (what little there is of this) to next get a red short-haired dachshund........this would match the dachshund Uncle Tommy had painted on his Harley AND we currently do not have a red short hairs in our family.

Sooooooooooo, look who she is currently in absolute loves with at one of our local rescues.....

Isn't she BEAUTIFULs ?!?!?!?

and, as an added bonus......my mom thinks she looks a bit like everybuddys gal pal, Puddles!!!  Do you sees the resemblence??

Next step is to trick   convince Uncle Tommy that another dachshund family member is a good ideas without hims pitching a fit, getting mad, using lots of HBO words    disagreeing.   

will keeps you updated...

Happy Barkday Sugar!

To celebrate Sugar's barkday, we thought we  would head to a town just outside of Houston that seems the PERFECT place to celebrate for Sugar....
Yep!!  We be heading to SUGAR LAND, TEXAS!!!

Now, at furst we thoughts this entire town was named after our furrend, Miss Sugar.   Butt, mom explained that Sugar Land gots its name, beclaws it is the home of Imperial Sugar Company.  This be like the second biggest sugar producer in da whole country!  

So we decided to heads on over to the Imperial Sugar Factory and take a "Sugar Tour"

Here is Minna Krebs in front of the Imperial Sugar Headquarters (notice she rode da Harley Dachsund Motorcyle over)

During da Tour, we gots to see ALL the Sugar they produce and package.....Dude is amazed by da Piles and Piles of Sugar they are producing!!

And at the end of da tour.......Minna Krebs decided to take a ROMP in the sugar piles~~~  WOWSER!  What a sweetness overload!!!



We hope you enjoyed our Sugar Land trip in celebration of da Sugar Barkday!
Now we just got to convince mom to let us have a little sugar snackie, from da tour!!!!
