U.G.O.'s

Momma just about bust a gut laughing when she read this Sunday's Get Fuzzy.
When I asked her what was so funny she showed it to me and to be honest, I'm not sure I see the humor. O.K., O.K., I have to admit that I too have sometimes had to "get to the line and call and edible," but why is that funny? Haven't we all eaten our fair share of "unidentified ground objects?" If I may wax philisophical for a moment, I think that Satchel Pooch is doing all he can to be the best doggie he can be, and as far as I'm concerned that's nothing to laugh at! I do realize that Satchel is a few milkbones short of a full box, but he's still a good boy. Momma says if she had a dollar for every time she's had to reach into my mouth in the last nine years and pull out a U.G.O. I'd be swimming in toys and treats! (If I go find a U.G.O. will somebody please send Momma a dollar, 'cause I need a new chewie, thanks!) I try really hard not to let Momma know I've been eating U.G.O.'s, but sometimes it's hard 'cause like Satchel I get all bubbly in my bowely and as hard as I try not to my tummy gets all rumbly and I start making stinkies which is a dead give away that I've been to a U.G.O. banquet!
I guess in the end Get Fuzzy was kind of cute, but instead of Tums Satchel should have done what I always do...get Momma to massage my belly.

Oops, gotta run, I'm not sure what it is, but there's something on the floor and it looks like an edible!

Flat Bottomed Girl

Momma calls me her "Flat Bottomed Girl" and for good reason. I can sit like this until I wear you down and get exactly what I want. It really works good on company, they fall for it hook, line & sinker! (Sorry for the fishing line, but I'm a Minnesota hund, land of 10,000 lakes and a bazillion chipmunks!)
Do any of you have flat bottoms? I bet Fufu might be able to out-sit me, but he doesn't have as far to fall as I do. No offense little buddy.

Roo "The Flat Bottomed Girl"

Sometimes Momma will gently poke me to make me lose my concentration, but I don't fall over until I'M READY!

As you can see I laugh myself silly when I do finally fall over!

The reason I bring this up, is because I wanted to see if any of my fur-friends have flat bottoms or if I'm some sort of freak of nature! I really hope I'm not alone in this one. Don't be ashamed my "flat bottomed" friends, you know who you are. Let us all proudly sit united on our "flat bottoms!"

Bye for now,

A BIG, BIG THANK YOU to DOGS WITH BLOGS!

(The Coolest Dogs on the Internet!)

I wanted to personally thank Greg, Brooke, Charlie and Opy for creating the wonderful site called DOGS WITH BLOGS! Me and Momma stumbled across it whilst (pretty classy huh? Whilst, hee, hee!) looking up doggie stuff and we are both soooo happy we did! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; a doggie or in FuFu’s case a hammie can never have too many friends! Am I right? Everybody give me a woof, woof on this one! I never would have pushed Momma so hard to make all the changes she has to my blog if it were not for all my fabulous new friends! You all inspire me to be a better doggie and I have learned so much from all of you. I will be forever grateful to DOGS WITH BLOGS for changing my life, and so I say to Greg, Brooke, Charlie and Opy a very simple and humble THANK YOU!

Now with all of that said, please come join us in this wonderful Christmas Card Exchange! All you have to do is follow this link and everything will be explained. We are soooo EXCITED about this that we cannot stand ourselves! Please, join in the fun!

Bye for now,

Roo

Another Saturday Night...

Not much has been happening, but I wanted to fill you all in on the Shoutbox Momma added on the side. Let me know what you think. I think it'll be fun and I hope you'll think so too! She searched and searched to find one she really liked and this is the closest she could come, but if I know her she won't quit searching until she finds one she really, really likes. Silly Momma, gotta love her! We had my favorite for supper...spaghetti! I know, what's the world coming to, a Dachshund who loves spaghetti who'd a thunk, but Momma says I can slurp a noodle better than Lady or The Tramp! Hope everybody's having a great weekend! I've been spending most of mine napping and eating, eating and napping, well I guess you get the picture.

Told ya' the "Big Blue Chair" was BIG!

Clearing Up Some Confusion About ME

Some of my friends for whatever reason have been confused as to whether I am a boy dachsie or a girl dachsie. I am a GIRL dachsie. I in no way mind the confusion. I am very much a tomboy and my name is really a boy’s name, but that’s Momma’s fault, because she loves Winnie-the-Pooh so much and I am named after Kanga’s son, Roo. Whew, that was a mouth full!

Yes, I am married. My husband Rusty and I were married April 1, 2006 in the first ever online dachsie wedding in the Wedding Chapel chat room on The Hotdog Blog. You can click here to read all about it and see our wedding album:

http://www.freewebs.com/onedachshund/Our%20Wedding.htm

This was my old website until Momma got my blog up and running which I like much better, because of the interaction between me & all my blogging buds.

Unfortunately, Rusty lives in Michigan and I’m in Minnesota, but we message each other daily and our momma’s have become bestest friends and also email and talk on the phone all the time.

My snookums (Rusty) knows about all my friends online and he is very supportive and not in the least bit jealous, because he knows he has absolutely nothing to worry about.

Thank you all for indulging me while I cleared all of this up for everyone!

A Couple Fun Changes to My Blog

Hey everybody, Momma's made a couple fun changes to my blog that I want you all to see. First, you will see a little b/w pic of me that takes you to another page where Momma will help me upload lots of pics. It's still a work in progress, because neither of us are real happy with the way the page is setup, but two heads are better than one and we'll get it figured out. Second, is the last item on the right side where you will see what happens when a chipmunk gets too big for his little britches, hee, hee! I hope this doesn't offend anyone, because it's just meant to make you giggle. We're not totally happy with the pic of me, so I'm sure Momma will be improving on that also! Hope you all enjoy these changes!

Me enjoying a new chewie that
arrived in the mail today

#1 hubby

A Friend in Need!

I am shamelessly asking all my GOOD blogging buddies to do me & my bestest bud Brownie a HUGE favor! He is up for the pet sale avenue Dog Model Contest and needs your votes! He is my bestest buddy for many reasons, but most importantly because he is a TRUE friend!

My buddy Brownie

Please take a moment to go to pet sale Avenue and cast your vote for the CUTEST little dachsie east of the Mississippi.
If you scroll down you will find him between Tink and Opie. It will only take a minute of you and your mommie's time and I know you will enjoy yourselves while you're there.

A BIG, BIG THANKS to all my PALS!

What is the World Coming To?!

Now I realize after what I saw this morning on the news about Buffalo, NY that I really have no right to complain, but this IS ridiculous. Snow BEFORE Halloween?! Is this some sort of Trick or Treat joke that I don't know about, because I wish someone would have let me know that it was coming. Even Momma didn't tell me. Instead she just opened the door and sent me out into a mini-blizzard. I mean come on folks this is too much!

Do I look totally befuddled?

Momma...why are you laughing at me?

Enough is enough! Let me in!

To be totally honest, I LOVE snow and you will see lots of pictures of me making dachsie snow angels and running and romping in snow up to my belly, which granted doesn't take more than about 4". My point is that it is too soon! I'm not done hunting chipmunks yet. This means they will go to bed and not wake up for months! Oh, the tragedy of it all...(too dramatic? Sorry!)

Bye for now,

MOMMA’S HOME!

Momma finally came home! WOO-HOO! YIPPEE and a RAMA-LAMA-DING-DONG! I’m so excited as you can see I’m sitting in the “Big Blue Chair” not taking my eyes off of her!

Can you believe Grandma forgot to give me my biscuits and cookies while Momma was gone?! I’m thinking of asking for a different sitter next time Momma has to go away. I love Grandma bunches and bunches, but there is a fine line to that love and no biscuits or cookies comes very close to crossing over into the Roo-no-love zone. Am I being too harsh?

I was soooo happy to sleep in the “Big Bed” with Momma last night. I slept on my sleeping bag next to her and never budged the whole night! ZZZzzzzzzzz!

One nice thing about Momma going away is that she feels guilty about leaving me. Not that I want her to feel guilty (well, maybe just a little), but when she comes home I get so much lovin’ and treats that it almost (almost) makes it worth it.

I’m not only thrilled to death that Momma’s home so we can be together, but so I can spend time with all my good online blogging buddies too!

I missed you ALL more than Kibbles n’ Bits!

Bye for now,
Roo

P.S. FuFu, I hope you don't mind I borrowed your idea of doing some words in different colors. I won't do it anymore. I promise!

Momma’s Leaving for the Weekend!

Momma’s going to my auntie Joal & uncle Frank’s for the weekend. Something about a garage sale, not sure what that means, but I do know it means she won’t be here to take care of me! Grandma & Grandpa will be here and they treat me real good, but it’s not the same as Momma. I don’t get as many goodies when Momma’s gone, ‘cause she lets me eat what she eats…YUM! I won’t get to sleep in the Big Bed either, but Momma’s gonna put my sleeping bag in Grandma’s chair which is where I sleep when Momma’s gone, so I’ll be nice and cozy and snuggly warm.
Momma says not to feel too sorry for me, because apparently I'm exaggerating just a mite. All I know is that I WILL miss my momma even though I know she ALWAYS comes home and I know the reason she ALWAYS comes home...ME!



I'll miss you all the next few days, but I'll muddle through somehow. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Bye for now,
Roo

P.S. For those who are interested Rusty got my sleeping bag online at: Walmart

My Very OWN Sleeping Bag!

I ask you, how lucky can a girl get? My sweet husband Rusty and I have been married for six months and each day is better than the last. Sometimes, I think the honeymoon will never end, at least I hope it doesn't!
Yesterday, while I was busy hunting chipmunks I heard the unmistakeable sound of the UPS truck out front. When Momma let me in there was a beautiful package sitting on the floor waiting to be open. With Momma's help I got it ripped open and what should I find inside, but the most wonderfulest of presents...MY VERY OWN SLEEPING BAG! I was so excited I could not stand myself. I began to roll on it uncontrollably, all the while Momma giggled as she watched me enjoying this special gift from my incredibly considerate and loving hubby. Did I mention that his name is Rusty? I hope you will all check out his slideshow under my "friends" links on the side or you can click: RUSTY to see his pictures even bigger and better! He is quite the little stud-muffin if I do say so myself!

Roo

THE NUTBONKER 2000

GET FUZZY is my favorite comic strip and Momma has bought me several of the books which I make her read to me often. This was in yesterdays paper and really cracked me up, because if I wasn't smarter than Bucky Katt I may have tried something just like this. O.K., I'll be honest, I did have similar plans in the works, but I would not have given into Rob's scepticism the way Bucky Katt did.



Bye for now,
Roo
