New Year Resolution
I got some really good suggestions for my resolution. I didn't know that I had so much that I could improve on. Mom keeps telling me I am perfect. So I am just surprised about all of this.
My two writer groups are going to do a project for writing about things that artists have made. My mom and some others are going to go see the paintings and things this Friday. I am very much upset about this because mom says I can't go to this thing. Now just how in the world do they expect me to do my writing if I can't see what I am supposed to write about??? I think I am going to have to put my paws down and just insist that I be treated like everyone else!!!! I may even write a big old thingy about it. That will teach them to leave me out of all these fun things. he he he
Please keep sending me ideas for my resolution. I am going to have a hard time deciding what to pick.

Fun in my yard
I loved the weather yesterday. It was 68 degrees which is just about perfect for a dachshund to play outside. Mom said it broke the old record temp. for the day.
I was email grounded again yesterday so it was good that I could play in my brushpiles. I said something in an amail that I am not supposed to say. I was honest and told mom what I had done. She got everything all fixed. Mom is good to me.
Today mom says that I have to start thinking of a New Years' Resolution. That is a promise that is supposed to make you a better dachshund. I do not know how I could possibly be a better dachshund than I already am. If you can think of something please leave me a message.

In trouble already
I just don't know what comes over me sometimes. I sometimes tell things that I should not tell. Then I get in very much big trouble. That is what happened with my friend J.. I thought I understood about a Christmas Present that she was going to be getting... and I talked about it in an email to her.
Now I find out that she did not get that present and I should not have even talked about it.
I had to tell my mom what I had done. She was not happy about it at all. I am not grounded from my email for all this long day. I am only allowed to make this one post on my Blog. After this I have to log off and my computer goes away until tomorrow.
It could have been worse though. Because I was honest and told what I had done, I only got grounded for one day and only email. I deserve to be grounded. I am just glad that I confessed up and that way mom could fix the problem and I didn't get grounded from everything for 2 days.
I am sorry that I talked about things out of turn. I am going to try very much hard not to make these mistakes again.
It is a really good thing that today will be very warm so that I can play in my brushpiles while I think about what I did wrong. See you tomorrow.

Very tired today.
I had such a wonderful Christmas. I didn't know that it could be so much fun to open packages and to watch my mom and dad open their things. I got my dad some really cool things. He was very much happy with them. I gave my mom a gift card because she loves those.
Then I got my mom to help me start learning how to use my YapStop. It is fun but a little bit tricky for me. I may need to get my nails cut shorter so I don't make so many mistakes.
I really very much love to be able to write my blog and read my email without having to wait for mom. I know she is going to really like it too.
It was so nice outside yesterday that mom let me play in my brushpiles. I made all the chipmunks and mice go away. Mom says they will come back though. I hate mice. Even on Christmas.
We had company last night. Everybody just talked and talked and ate cheese. I was so tired that I finally got out of mom's cliner chair and made my mad face at them all. Then I just went to bed. I did it all by myself. Christmas is fun but it is hard work, too.
I hope that every one I know had a good Christmas and will have a Happy New Year.

Christmas afternoon
I GOT IT I GOT IT Santa Paws did it !
I very much wanted to show you all my picture but my mom is being a very much big old lazy butt, and she won't put the pictures from the camera into MY own YapStop computer.
It is very much wonderful. I will be able to use it to do all of my important stuff. I won't have to wait for my mom to let me on her old stinky computer anymore.
Guess what !!! It does NOT have a mouse. It has a touching pad that I can really make work easy.
I hope that everyone in the whole wide world got great stuff on Christmas moring.
Santa Paws must have liked my milk glass and cookie plate trick. They were gone from the floor when I made everyone get up this morning.
Merry Christmas day to all of you. I knew that Santa Paws was REAL.
psssss. I surely am glad that my dad didn't shoot RUDOLPH THE
RED NOSED REINDEER. Santa Paws really needed him last night. It was really very much FOGGY.

Flakey Friends
My friends and I are all ready for a visit from that Jolly old Shelf, Santa Paws. We have checked our lists twice or more. We have been nice. We plan to leave a milk glass and cookie plate out for HIS snack.Darn I sure hope he brings me my own computer, but I would gladly settle for everyone in the whole world being happy and healthy.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you who read my blog. Licks and Wags to each and every one of you.

Santa Paws, my friend needs you
Dear Santa Paws, I am not going to ask for anything for myself in this letter. I am asking this for my friend Sadie. Sadie is not a Dachshund, but she is a very much good Jack Russell. She is having a very much hard time with her ma. Sadie's ma wants her to sit on her lap and watch her send HER email instead of having her very own computer so that she can send mail to me.
Sadie needs her very own computer that she does not have to share with her ma. This is what she needs to have: a no mouse computer (just like the one I asked for), and it needs to be a YapStop computer (just like the one I asked for) so that she can use it on the floor and other easy places, and it should have a paw touch pad (just like the one I asked for). Sadie likes to be touched and she has pads on her paws like I do.
This is Sadie's very much first Christmas and she did not know how to send you a letter. That is why I am doing it for her. If she had her own computer she could even have a blog just like I do. It would be grrrrrrreat.
See, you Jolly old Shelf, I did not even ask for anything for myself.
I told Sadie to leave a milk glass and cookie plate for you too. Her ma makes lots and lots of cookies.

How many more days?

I was told that I am a Party Animal
I am getting really worried about this visit from Santa Paws. My friend Jalyn told me that it was a long time until the day he is supposed to come. I can't wait much longer.
If you can help me with my wish list I would very much like that. The only thing I need for you to tell Santa Paws is that I very much need my own computer. One that does not have a mouse (I hate those mice things) and it has to be a Yapstop with a touch pad. I am always wanting touches and I have pads on my feet. Everyone knows it is good for dogs to STOP YAPPING.
So, here goes again... YapStop with a touch pad and NO MOUSE.
I have to go in a very much big hurry now. I think my mom is coming in to be sure I am taking this nap. MERRY CHRISTMAS KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR MIRACLES.
Christmas Party miracle

Christmas is really a wonderful time. I went to my Cousin Donna and Dave's house for a family party today. It was very much fun for me.
They brought really nice kids for me to play with.
The food was so very much good. There was HAM AND CHEESE. They are both my favorites. I did not know that Cousin Donna knew that. She must have, because she made it all just for me, I think.
It was probably because I wore my Santa Paws suit just for her!!!
A very nice man took my picture with his telephone. I did not know about doing that. My mom only uses the camera on me. He said that he would send my picture way far away to he sister. I felt very much special.
People picked me up and held me. They were all so soft and gentle and good. Family is just the very much best of all.
My mom told me this story on the way home. There were once two great ladies who were like sisters. One day one of them said something that caused them to get into a very much big argument. They didn't talk to each other for a time that was longer than any dachshund. Then one day out of the blue that lady sent her bestest friend a letter of paw la gee. Paw la gees are good things any day but at Christmas they have miracle dust on them. They got back together and are once again like sisters. And guess what... those two ladies were at this wonderful party today. My mom said that Miracles do happen at Christmas.
I am going to remember this story because it caused good things to happen. I like that.
When I got home I went right to my cliner chair and went to sleep. I had so much good fun with nice people and all of that really good ham and cheese. I slept for 4 hours. Having fun like that makes you tired, you know.
I think Christmas is just the very much best of all times. I am such a lucky dachshund to get to do so many great things.

I got Grinched again!!!
I went to bed very much early last night because I needed to rest after all that driving and harrassing and not being able to pee and not having anything to eat for ever and ever. When I get time, I might just write a letter to this Jim the Grinch Guy myself. That will teach him a lesson. He was naughty, not nice! I don't think Santa Paws will bring him anything except maybe some yucky old CAT FOOD.

My letter from Santa Paws
Santa Paws says I have been very good and that because I am being stalked by that awful Grinch Guy, I am going to get good stuff for Christmas.
Now I know that I will get my computer that has no mouse and is called a Yap Stop Computer.
I think it will have a Touch Pad thing. It will be very much easier for me to use. I just have to touch my paw pad and poof it will work. I hate mice. I love touching.
Wheeee, a letter from Santa Paws.
Maybe now that Grinch Guy will stop stalking me.

Ho Ho Ho Time

I am so happy that Christmas is coming soon. I hope that everyone I know gets grrrrrreat things that they want. I am still hoping that Santa Paws has enough money and brings me my very own computer with no mouse on it. If he doesn't, I will not be upset though. I have so many good things in my life that it will be OKAY. I am still going to play my little trick on Santa Paws. I think he must have a good sense of humor because he always says HO HO HO. It is very much good to have fun so I am going to leave out a glass that my night time milk was in, and a plate that my cookies used to be on. That means that I am leaving... a milk glass and a cookie plate for that Jolly Old Shelf. I think he will laugh. I am so funny sometimes. he he he

I was Santa Paws !!!
Yesterday I did my biggest best thing ever!!! I had my mom take me to Pet Smart so I could buy something very special. I used of my gift card money (that I won for being in the play) to buy food for poor and hungry dogs. I wanted to be like Santa Paws and give things away.Then Mom took me to this awful place called the Animal Shelter that is in New Lexington. I could hear all of the really sad dogs crying. I just felt terrible for them. I am embarrassed about not knowing that there are sad, hungry, homeless, ones. I have always just thought about myself and what I want. How can I feel so good one second, and so bad the next?
I am glad that I gave them that bag of food. I think they must need even more. I am going to try very much hard for the next play. If I win again, I will give to dogs who have nothing.
Now I am embarrassed about wanting a computer with no mouse. At least I have one that I can share with my mom who loves me so much.
I am a very much lucky dachshund.

Mom's letter to Santa Paws

Dear Santa Paws,
Its me again, Frankie Furter. Do you remember me? I hope so.
This is not a letter about me though. This is for my mom. I think she is just too shy to write a letter to you, so I am going to do it for her.
My mom has been very much good this year. She has helped me with stuff like garden work and brushpile issues. She always remembers to put my supper out. She never lets my water bowl be empty. She always drives me to places that I have to go. Even when gas cost a bone and a snack.
My mom really needs something for her very own. She needs it very much. My mom needs her very own computer. Right now she has to share one with me. That means when she has something important to do, she has to wait and wait until I am finished. That is not fair for her.
If you would bring a new (no MOUSE, please) computer to me, I would be able to give my old one (that does have a mouse) to my mom. She wouldn't care that it is old and used and slow and has a mouse. She would just be so happy to have one of her very own.
So, you dear Old Shelf, please bring me that NO MOUSE computer. The one that can be on the floor easy for me to work. That way,I will have a very much good gift to give my mom.
Don't forget to look for your MILK GLASS, and your COOKIE PLATE.

I was Santa Paws !!!
I went to my Cast Party. It was SO much fun. I came out as Santa Paws. Not the real one, of course. He wasn't in the play so he couldn't come to the party. It was just some extra fun that I wanted to share with all my friends.The best part was that my "Play" family won the most favorite character award !!! They gave me a gift card to Pet Smart. Mom is going to take me there to buy things. I am going to buy food for poor homeless Dogs in Shelters. That will be a very good thing.
I was a real PARTY ANIMAL. I played with the kids a lot. Then we had some really GRRRRRREAT ham and cheese !!! Dee even gave me my very own Water Bowl !!!
It was the best time! Almost everyone from the play was there. We watched a movie of the play. But that was after we had our food and we had all played and had a bunch of fun. So, I had to take a little nap when the movie was on.
I got to meet my friend Barney's mum. She and Barney live in Australia. Barney is there but she is here. It is like a Christmas miracle. I really liked her. I wish Barney could have been at the party though.
I am such a very lucky dachshund. I have GRRRRREAT friends. That is the best of all.

Cast Party
Tonight is my CAST PARTY. I am very much excited to get to go to this party. My friends from the Play will be there and there will be much fun and food. I like those things a lot.
I am going to have a very much BIG surprise for them. They are going to get a visit from someone who is super special. HO HO HO !!!!!
I think my mom is going to take pictures......

Ho Ho Ho you Jolly Old Shelf #4
Santa Paws, was that you that had the deer in my yard last night? Were you checking up on me?
I found the reindeer poops when I went outside this morning. I am just sure that it is from your deer.
I know I was being very good because my mom told me I was a good boy when we went to bed last night. (I am just telling you this in case it wasn't you.)
Have you looked at my very much sad face in this picture? It is because the evil GRINCH made me work hard like he does him poor little Max. My face is also sad because I have to use a computer that has a mouse.
Don't forget that I am going to leave a MILK GLASS & A COOKIE PLATE out for you on Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve is on the 24th. you know. I am just reminding you because I know you are not really young and that means sometimes you might forget things.
I am such a good boy to remind you so that you won't forget all the good little dachshunds.
XOXOXO XO XOXO XO XOXOXO

Santa Paws Letter #3
Dear Santa Paws,
I was so good yesterday. You would not even recognize that it was me. I helped my mom do house work !!! She was picking up my toys and putting them in my toy room and I helped her with that work. She really likes to do that. So every time she took stuff back to the toy boxes I brought more stuff into the living room. It must have made her very proud of me because she said, "Frankie you are something else."
I thinked up another reason why you need to bring me my own computer that has no mouse. I mostly am not getting my naps. That is because I have to use my nap time to get on the computer when my mom is out of this room doing other stuff.
If I have my very own computer that has no mouse I will be able to use it whenever I need to and it won't have to keep me from taking my nap.
That will be very good for me because my mom says I become CRANKY FRANKIE when I miss my nap time. I will be much nicer to people if I get my naps and am not cranky.
I have the right day marked on the calendar now. I know when you will be coming, you Dear Old Shelf.
Don't forget to look for your MILK GLASS and COOKIE PLATE when you bring my new computer.

Letter to Santa Paws #2
Dear Santa Paws,
My mom says that you are a jolly old shelf. I did not know a shelf could be jolly. I have a shelf in my toy room. It isn't jolly, but it is old.
I want to be sure that you know what a good boy I have been.
Now to the important stuff. Did you get my other letter? I don't think you did because I looked and looked this morning and there was no new computer for me.
Do you know how much I am needing a new computer of my very own? It has to be one of those no mouse kind. Did you remember that part???
I did forget to tell you this part about why I need a no mouse computer. Now I have to share the computer with my mom who is a big hog. Her computer is on a very much too tall desk thing and I have to get up in the roll around chair to do my keyboard work. The chair rolls away from me and it stretches me waaaaaaaaaaaay out long (because I am a dachshund) and it might hurt my back or something. So, you Jolly old Shelf, you can see why I very much need my own computer that has no scary mouse thing and that I can keep where it is very much easy for me to work on.
I will leave a milk glass and a cookie plate out for you tonight. XOXOXOXOX

My Letter to SANTA PAWS
Monday, December 8, 2008
I made a BIG joke on my mom tonight !!!

Tonight was the last night for our play. I think we did an awsome job!!
I was feeling really grrrrreat when we got home.
Mom says I was hyped up. Anyway, I pulled a really good trick on her.
She fixed herself a piece of pumpkin pie and put this yummy white stuff on the top. A bunch of it, too !!! Then she put it on the coffee table and went to get some coffee. While she wasn't looking...... I licked all the white stuff off of it. Then I got on the floor and waited to see what would happen. She came back in and ate THREE BIG BITES !!! hehehe Then she said to my dad, Darn it, I thought I put stuff on the top of this. I'm sure I did. (I was on the floor rolling around and laughing because it was so funny to me. And it tasted good, too.)
Then my dad said, "What is all that white stuff all over Frankie's face?" Now I was really laughing. I was even on my back making kicky feet because it was so funny.
Then my mom said, "Yuck ! I ate some of this pie after he licked all over it !"
Isn't this just the funniest thing you have ever heard? he he he
The best part is that mom didn't even get mad at me. She just picked me up and rubbed my head and laughed at my joke. I think it was because she is so proud of me for being in the play. Or, it could be that she loves me a whole bunch.
Maybe now she will tell Santa Paws that I really need my own computer for Christmas.
I loved being in the play. It was so fun for me to be with all those grrrrreat people. I will miss them.

Last day for the PLAY
I was so very happy that my birth momma came from so far away to see me in the play. It made me feel grrrrreat. It made my mommy very happy, too.
I hope that there will be a part for me in the next play. If there is, I will get to see everyone again.
It snowed a lot here on my hill yesterday. I don't like that at all. Now I won't have the play to go to, and I can't go out and do you yard work. I want the sun to melt all this bad stuff away. It does make it easier for me to keep an eye out for that mean old Grinch though.

I think I was a STAR
