I know I'm a dog. But I love de la... Just letting you know.

Can you hear me now?

So. I can't talk. You do know this right?

I mean I can talk in dog. But to you, all that sounds like is, "Woof, woof." Or if I'm really lucky it sounds like,  "Bark, bark." I'm not trying to be annoying, I swear. It's just I have so much to say, but nobody can understand me.

I mean do you know that EVERYDAY there is some guy who comes to the door? Every single day (well, except Sunday) He takes random sizes of paper and stuffs it into a metal box right outside the door? Who does he think he is? He just walks right up to my... Er, I mean, our house and puts random crap in OUR metal box. What a weirdo?

And did you know that on Tuesday and Friday these guys drive up in a big green scary monster of a thing and take our perfectly good trash??? What the heck? They just drive up and pretend no one is looking and take the trash bins and SHOOP! They steal our garbage, every time. I try to tell my owners, but they keep doing it every week.

I could go on about this forever, but I'll just tell you one last thing. There are three sorry excuses for neighbors right outside the window. These three jerks run up and down trees all day long and then bury stuff. Seriously? What are you storing stuff for? Winter? I try to yell at them all day long, that if I ever get a chance to come outside they are gonna get it. Put stuff in MY yard... I mean, OUR yard? How dare they?!?!

See, many times Im TRYING to do our household a favor, but then I just end up getting yelled at. Or even worse, I get a rolled up magazine shaken at me. I don't know what that gesture even means, but it gets me scared every time. Anyways, I better go, it's the day those guys try to steal our trash again. Bark at you later...

That's not my name.

They call me "wiener dog". They call me "doxy". They call me "pup".  They call me "lowboy".
That's not my name.
That's not my name.
That's not my name.

It's Pancho Villa son.

Rainy daze

I hate when it rains. You may like it, but that's because you are not 6 inches off the ground. I get both the rain and the backsplash when I try to go to the backyard :( :( No fun...

Puppy Haiku (The Groomer)

Soapy bath, cut nails

Not as fun as one might think

Oh wait here's my treat!

My Big Screen Debut.

So I finally made it on the big screen. Okay so it wasnt MY video, it was for my owner's video blog for his company, but I made it on to this outtake. Hope it makes you bark out loud (bol)! See you soon!

A new year, a new dog!

Well, it sure has been a while since I have got my blog on 'eh? So I apologize, I have just been so busy being a dog and doing my thing, but I know there are my faithful readers out there. So I will make sure to keep you up to date with all the dachshund shenanigans as they happen.

In the mean time I hope you are having a good new year so far. Please make sure to stay by the fire and keep warm cuz its so cooooolllddd outside today!!!

Sunday!

Sundays are some of my favorite days. i just get to lounge out back and catch lizards. (Which if you know me, it is my speciality) I just have a penchant for lizard tail. Yes. It may make you gasp, but there is just some part of me that is into the finer things...

Oh really? So you guys eat snails, fish eggs and frog legs and it's considered "cultured? But why can't I have my lizard tail? I was trying to write about my lovely Sunday brunch and you want to... Okay. Sorry... (Bark to ten...) Okay...

What was I saying?... Oh yeah, Sundays are awesome!!!

Puppy Company!

So it's Easter and I have my granny and grandpaw coming in! I am so excited, that I just can't wait. I have so much to tell them about me when they get here. I mean I have grown a whole bunch since they last saw me. I have so many exciting stories about how I keep the squirrels away and how I keep the backyard free of lizards. I keep this place pretty safe if you ask me.

I am so happy for this Easter, I think I will spend some time laying in the sun to even out my farmer's dog's tan. What are you doing this Easter? I hope you are planning a great time with family (and dont forget your pets!). Make sure to let them in on a little table scraps too. Shhhhh. dont tell mama T that I said anything about that though. Me and my dad got a little under the table "agreement".

looking good

i just blogged today because I am feeling good and looking so good. I know its been a while, but the deal is I have spent so much time outside these days, i really have not had much use for the computer. But so many dogs in the neighborhood have been like, "Pancho, why don't you blog anymore, now I don't have anything to read in the mornings."

Even those jerk squirrels in the big oak tree are taunting me, "Pancho doesn't blog any more, nyah nyah nyah boo boo!" I mean they have to check it every now and again to know Im not blogging, right? Maybe I am more pupular than I thought? So here I will blog again, since people/animals want to hear from me.

I cant promise it will be every day or every week, but maybe I can steal the McBook long enough to pen a few good stories. If you still follow this blog, thank you. Your faithfulness will be rewarded... With my good-lookingness.

Until I blog again. Here's barking at you...

I will be house sitting!!!

I am so excited to be house sitting all week next week. It is going to be so much fun, I will be able to stay up late and overeat my puppy snax and run around the house where ever I want!!! Of course I have to watch over Aunt Monica for a few days. She needs someone to take care of her, so I dont mind. And then I will have to watch over Auntie Kendra for a day or two, but I dont mind because she lets me watch whatever movies I want to watch!! It will be a great week, but I will miss my owners. They better bring me back some pup-souveneirs from the beach!!!

if you love puppies (and me) you'll love this!!!

Pancho's picture bucket

Me and my owner had a quick photo shoot this morning and here is the result. I am so handsome!!! My owner is so... well, at least I'm so handsome!!!

i am legend..

I think if the dog was the main character in "I am Legend" it would have been a much better movie. I'm just saying... Nothing against Will Smith, but we all know that dogs are much better main characters, just look at Old Yeller... One of the best movies of all time... You know you cried at the end.

i like to eat!

My favorite thing to do is tricks for food. One thing you know about me is that I never pass up a chance to eat. In this segment I even catch my food in mid-air. (I dont have time for it to hit the ground ;)

Dinner Time

Yes. I am cute. Even at dinnertime. (Except, one of these days I wish they would give me steak ;p)

Down Puppy Memory Lane

Just thought Id show off one of my old puppy pictures to show how cute I was... I mean still AM!!!

it's winter in Florida!

I'm cold cold cold cold puppy! We have this box that helps us save energy and the environment. But last night it was cutting off our heat at 4 in the morning and I was freezing my cute little puppy ears off. That's a shame. I have a four paw rating system for times like these and Progress energy gets half a paw. I think I will take my puppy tool kit in the shed and disable that silly box.

Anyways, I am chattering at how cold it is, but it still has done nothing to dampen my cuteness. I am still cute as ever and will come out of the covers for a brief moment if you have a treat for me ;) But no guarantees I will stop to chat because Im covering back up. This is the one day I wish I was a coffee drinker! b.o.l. (bark out loud)

Somedays you just have a flea.

Being a dog is a great way to go. I mean things can't get much better than the life I live. I get to spend my days protecting my house... I mean my owner's house. (Let's let them think it's theirs okay?... it'll be our secret) I get to get plenty of water and yummy dog food. I get to chew on rawhides and make my owner's smile at my funny tricks. Ahhh what a life. But every once in a while, I get that weird itch...

You got it. a flea.

If you haven't noticed, I have pretty short limbs. Yes, it works to my advantage because it makes me irresistibly adorable, but when it comes to scratching... Well let's just say i got the short end of the stick. So when I get a flea it really stinks. But I know that's just part of being irresistible, even fleas want to be near me.

It happens, but I know eventually I will either find a way to kill it, or my owner will scream at the top of her lungs and make the other owner come pull it off me and kill it. She is funny that way. But good thing her husband is such a good man. (ok, he paid me to say that. but, you can donate too and i can give you a glowing recommendation on my blog! BTW, I like to get paid in table scraps, smaller denominations please. thank you.)

Anyways, as my good friend Benji Larose (the late John Denver's beagle) would say, some days are diamonds and somedays you just have a flea. So remember that when things may not seem to go your way, because this too, will pass.

new year, new you!

I am so excited about the new year! Here are a few resolutions I have made for the new year.

1. Improve my treat-getting skills. (i need to learn a few more tricks, plus practice my puppy dog eyes/facial expressions)

2. I would like to lose one pound. I can't seem to fit into my sweaters... oof!

3. I would like to at least double my lizard collection.

4. I would like to start my pup-fiction novel!

-------------------------What are your new years resolutions?

I want to take a second to look back at me when I was a puppy. Oh my goodness! Ain't I the cutest thing you have ever seen??? Hope you have a happy new year!!!!
