Nap Time!!

It's different when Dad's gone. Mom leaves for work and there's really not much to do. Mollie and I normally hang out in Mom's recliner but, when it's available (and by available, I mean when Mollie hasn't peed on it) we like to lounge in front of the TV on our bed. It's super comfortable (as long as you-know-who doesn't wet the bed) and makes for some pretty relaxed mornings. I especially like to lay on it when I get back from a WW (that's Weiner-Walk for those of you who are uninformed). I guess we could call it a WWW (the extra "W" is for Worms) after it rains because Mollie and I like to eat the dried worms that met their demise on the concrete sidewalk in Military Park. They're a great source of protein and are pretty tasty, too. At any rate, I'm gonna get off the recliner now and check the comfort level of our bed. Maybe Mollie will come with me; I could use a good pillow. Later- Maggs.

There goes Monday

It's almost 5:00 Monday evening. It seems like the last week has pretty much flown by. The Squirrels are more active so all I can think about is going outside to watch Cecilia and Jack. I'd really love to floss my teeth with one of 'em. If it wasn't for that confounded tie-out.
Dad's going back to work tomorrow. He told me that he's leaving in the morning, but I already knew. Since he's on days this week, maybe Mom will take Mollie and me to Emporia to see him on Saturday; I hope so. Mom, Dad, Mollie and me went and looked at a house for sale out in the country. Neat yard, plenty of room (outside) but pretty cramped inside. Oh well, we'll keep looking. Buckshot has been having some health problems so we're sticking pretty close to home to keep an eye on him. Mollie and I have even been spending time with him in the backyard. Mollie is a little scared of him, but I got my bluff in pretty early- he steers clear of me.

Here's a picture of Mollie and me in New Mexico, Thanksgiving '08.

BRRRR!!!

I can't believe it's so cold.  Daddy's home and he told Mollie and me that he would take us for a walk at the lake when it got warmer.  It figures, it's nice the whole time he's gone and then, when he gets home, it turns cold.  Maybe it'll warm up this afternoon.  'Til then, I think I'll find some rawhide........

Thoughts for the day.......

I'm really happy that my Daddy is coming home tonight!! This warm weather is making both of us think about camping. There are a lot of really cool places we need to explore and I think we'll hit 'em all this Summer. This year, when we're camping, I think I'll do more walking and less eating and napping.......
This picture is not accurate, the camera and the camper add 10 pounds!

Well, my Daddy came home last night and I was really excited to see him. I cuddled up with him and was really surprised when he got up early this morning. I thought he was going downstairs so we could have some Maggie/Daddy time but NOOOO! he just had to put on that dang flight suit and disappear again. Oh well, he told me he'd be home on Monday; I can't wait. I think I'll just hang out with Mom and Mollie this weekend. It's supposed to rain so maybe there's a nap in my future.......
I heard a rumor that Grandma & Grandpa McQueen might come by this weekend. It'd be nice to see 'em and I'm sure Mollie needs a "Grandpa Fix". Gotta go- there's a bone calling my name.

Sleepover

Here's a shot of Buckshot and me at a sleepover we had in the the living room last Summer. (It wasn't really a sleepover, more like a daytime "lounge session")

Catching Up-

I can't believe it's been over two months since I've been on here. Mollie keeps me pretty busy; it's not easy teaching a puppy everything there is to know about being a Dachshund!! I've also been a little bummed 'cause my Dad got a new job and he's gone for a week at a time. He's a helicopter pilot now and he works out of town. The good news is that he's home for a week at a time, too! That makes for a lot of Maggie/Daddy time!! The last Sunday that he worked, Mom & Mollie and I took him and his crew lunch. I hope Mom takes us again this Sunday!

I've gone to see my Grandma and Grandpa McQueen a couple of times recently. It's always fun to go there.....they have CARPET!! Mollie and Grandpa get along very nicely and we get to go for walks in the pasture. There was a lot of static electricity in the truck on the way out to Montezuma last weekend- it really did a number on my hair!!! I'm a little embarrassed to even let you see this picture but, what the heck, you won't judge, right?
