Hershey moved to blogger and so I am too.  It all has to do with computers ... don't ask me, I don't understand it.  You can find me now at http://justmecopper.blogspot.com/

 

It isn't perfect yet and I still have to add links to my new friends. Hershey has to tel me how to do that.  Please find me and read about my adventures there.  I have lots more to tell you.

Hey everybody ... I am enjoying Meeshka's Blogathon today while my people do chores around the house.  I have an alarm set to go off every half hour so I can check it out on Mom's laptop.  She is nice and let's me use it and I have not scratched it at all ... Dachshund's have smaller feet than Huskies.  I am jealous though ... Meeshka gets to eat LUNCH.  I only get to eat dinner.  I do get a 'cookie' (a dog biscuit) for breakfast every day, but no lunch.  I also get some very special OIL on my dinner now .. makes it taste sooo yummy!!  Hershey loved it when I stayed at his house.  It is part of a special beauty regime my Mom put me on to make me more beautiful I am sure.  I don't think it has anything to do with me itching all the time from having dry skin (which is why I hate baths Hershey.)  Gotto go check out the Blogathon.....

Hey, everybody.  I just want to show you a sad picture.  It is one of me and Hersh (sometimes I call him that) at his new house up in Virginia.  He doesn't have a fence yet so sometimes if he wants to watch his Dad do yardwork or keep his Mom company while she washes the car .... he has to go outside and be chained to a ground screw!!  That is what they call it.  I call it TORTURE!  One time Hershey's Dad put us both out on the ground screw and we were on the same cable, me on one end and Hersh on the other with the cable in a ring on the ground screw.  The cable could slide back and forth and because I am BIGGER and outweigh Hershey by 5 pounds, and because I was pulling, Hershey had about 3 feet of cable and I had the rest.  Hershey took the cable in his mouth and tried to PULL me back closer to him.  Wasn't he SMART!  Too bad the people were laughing and didn't take a picture.

 

Tuesday, my cat friend Tabitha got an operation so that she would not have any kittens. I have not actually met Tabitha, but I know her sister Mari.   Mari was abandoned as a kitten in a public place so that hopefully someone would pick her up.  She made friends with a nice lady and the nice lady took her home.  Then the nice lady married the boy that used to live at this house and now Mari is part of our family.  They got Tabitha from the animal adoption place because she did not have a home either.  Even my friend Nixon was adopted from cat jail because he didn't have a home.  Can you imagine not having a home??? I can't. 

 

The other day my Mom brought two kitties home because someone had dropped them off at the park.  She felt so sorry for them.  They lived in my garage (I was CRAZY trying to get out there to see them) for two or three days until a nice family adopted them.  During that time my Mom discovered just how many kitties there are out there that need homes.  I am glad that Mari got Tabitha an operation and I hope you all will tell your friends that have pets to get them operations so that they do not have puppies or kitties that they do not want.  All pets deserve nice homes. 

Just when I had given up ever seeing my Mom and Dad again, they came back! Tonight before I got to eat dinner, Hershey's Mom took me and Hershey out to go poddy and all of a sudden a car drove up and they got out of the car!  I was SOOOO HAPPY to see them.  I licked them and kissed them and wagged my tail and jumped up and down!  I cannot smell any clues as to where they have been, but they are back and that is all that matters.  My Mom told me "car ride" and "home" tonight so maybe we will go home to my house tomorrow.  I will miss Hershey ... unless he goes with me ... maybe he will ... I don't know, we'll find out soon. 

Today Hershey, Nixon, and I took a nap with Hershey's mom and dad! At night they have been making us (well just Hershey and I, Nixon sleeps whereever he wants) sleep in my nice kennel. Hershey says that he gets to sleep in bed with them at night but they told us that with both of us its too much dog in bed for them! How rude! Oh, and they also said that when we are together we are too worried about Nixon running around at night and we wouldn't stay in bed cause we would need to chase him and would jump in and out of bed and Hershey is too short to jump up on the bed! Ugh, I resent that. But today they let us sleep in their bed! I like taking naps with people but I miss my mom and dad they are coming to get me Tuesday...

The things that Mom's do!  Our Mom's made these funny hats for Hershey's first birthday and made us wear them.  We look happy because we were watching and waiting to get a treat!  How embarrasing, and now everyone knows!

Today when I was alone with Hershey we got to talking about Holly and I thought I would blog about her.  She was my Mom's dog before me and she lived to be 15.  She was an old dog when I came along but my Mom and Dad told me she was a neat dog wen she was young.  She loved to jump in her kid's beds and wake them up in the morning and she loved to run in the woods and play with them.  Sometimes she would even swim in the creek to find them.  She went camping (although I am not sure what that is) and ate the hot dogs and marshmallows that the boys dropped on the ground.  She let her people dress her up in a Halloween costume at Halloween so that when she barked at the children who came to the house, they were not so afraid of her.  She did a good job of being a dog.

 

I do not have any kids at my house ... just my Mom and Dad .... but I try to take good care of them.  I hope I can be a good dog too.

The other day Hershey and I got to go to a MALL!  I was so excited.  At home, I get to go get ice cream in the car sometimes, but my Mom tells me that dogs cannot go to her mall so I always have to stay home.  But Hershey has a mall that allows dogs and we went to it.  It was awesome.  They have stores and we got to go inside the stores.  They had an Anthropologie, Brook's Brothers, Restoration Hardware and even a Betsey Johnson Boutique.  I do not know who Betsey Johnson is but my Mom did so we had to go in that store.  But the best part was Hershey and I got to go in a doggie boutique!  They had fancy collars and beds and food and fancy treats.  Hershey tried out a bed (he didn't realize it was pink ... and a girl bed .... because he is too little to know his colors yet) and he picked out a lot of toys and tried to tell his Mom and Dad to buy them for him.  But the best part was we got some fancy treats that look like little fancy cakes!  Here is a picture of me looking in the fancy case.  Hershey didn't get in the picture because he was too busy looking at toys and pink beds.  The mall was fun and dogs should definately go to it.  It is called the Stony Point Mall in Richmond, Virginia.  I think I like shopping.
