I snapped this picture of Tammy at about 4:30 in the morning. On most nights she jumps onto the recliner and pulls this blanket over herself and goes to sleep. On this particular morning she woke up, looked around, didn’t see anything to get interested in for the moment, and then pulled her head back under the covers and went back to dozing…

All right gang, I’m gonna try to get back into the swing of things on this blog. First up: another dose of that very-cute-but-terribly-mischievous miniature dachshund, Tammy. Who has lately demonstrated that she’s getting much better behaved! If only she wouldn’t jump out of nowhere to bite at my ankles every so often…
So today I took her outside so she could do her “doggie business” and the first thing she wanted to do was head to her favorite place in the yard. I don’t know what it’s allure is, but there’s this one little area of lawn that Tammy will go to, lay down and often roll on her back and enjoy the warmth of the sun shining on it. I guess it’s just her “layin’ spot”.
Here she is enjoying the early summer sunshine…
The girlfriend reminded me late last night that I had missed posting a Tammy Tuesday this week. And then earlier tonight she told me again. So you can direct thanks to Kristen for kicking me in the tail and getting a new pic of my mini dachshund up for your viewing pleasure 🙂
This week, nothing too special. Just a photo I took with the iPad of Tammy in my lap, as I tried to get her to hold still…
There may be some more pics of her out and about town next week. We’ll see 🙂...
Hey gang, been a mite busy on this end of things, but don’t let that stop us from having our weekly does of mini dachshund hijinks!
This past weekend my longtime friend and filmmaking partner “Weird” Ed Woody came to visit. And it so happened that this was the very first time that he and Tammy have had a chance to meet. I was outside with her when he pulled into the driveway and had my camera with me, so I got to record their first-ever encounter…
…but it wasn’t long before she really took on to Ed, as you can tell 🙂
Incidentally, Ed and I discussed our next film project. It’s gonna be the first one we’ve done in quite some time. Maybe we should give Tammy a cameo?...
Kristen and I spent the entire weekend at the Outer Banks. We really enjoyed ourselves and already are planning what to do the next time we visit. When we do I’m bound and determined to go hand-gliding on Jockey’s Ridge. But even without that this time, the trip was a neat lil’ adventure.
And when we got back home Tammy was waiting for us. As much fun as we had, I really did miss my lil’ mini dachshund. And I think Tammy was happy to see us too…
The next time y’all see Kristen and Tammy in a photo together, it might also include Kristen’s cat Zoe. We’re trying to figure out when would be a good time to introduce her and Tammy to each other.
And it was two years ago today that Kristen and I had our first date! Hey, a sweet and beautiful girlfriend and a mischievous ...
Didn’t get to post an installment of Tammy Tuesday yesterday ‘cuz of too much stuff that came crashing down all at once. Hey I enjoy blogging but it’s not like this is my full-time career, right?
Forget I asked that.
It’s a day late but no less cute: here’s Tammy trying her best to assist Dad in the kitchen as he looks for cookware…
Truth be told, I think Tammy enjoys eating the food more than she does actually preparing it 😛...
Tammy in one of her all-too-rare quiet moments…
Miniature dachshunds might be small… but they more than make up for it in hyper-activity! If you are contemplating getting one, you’ll love them like nothing else… but you’ll also come to appreciate those fleeting minutes of rest and quiet 🙂...
Tammy found herself last week at one of my favorite places: HyperMind in nearby Burlington! So while the place was packed with people playing Magic: The Gathering, Settlers of Cataan and several other games there was this cute lil’ miniature dachshund running up and down the store. I think everyone stopped what they were doing to give her a pat on the head or a tummy rub and a lucky few even got their faces licked!
Here’s Tammy with HyperMind’s owner and manager Denise…
Tammy is getting to travel around quite often lately. I’ll be sure to photographically document her exploits and post them here in the future 🙂...
Poor Tammy. Ever since I brought her home last year, she has often sat alongside the horse pasture next to our land and watched the horses. I can’t help but think that deep down, she believes she’s going to grow up to be that big someday, too!
I always tell her that she doesn’t need to be a horse and I wouldn’t want her to be one either! I mean, a horse can’t snuggle up next to you on a sofa while you read a book. It can’t play with you indoors. It can’t sit patiently at the dinner table with those irresistibly cute eyes waiting for a tasty morsel of steak or barbecue chicken. It can’t lay against your bedroom door as you sleep at night, guarding you against monsters and the bogey-man.
And for my money, I think a miniature dachshund can outrun a horse any day! ...
It’s the first ever video for Tammy Tuesday! A coupl’a weeks ago my mini dachshund Tammy wound up at my cousin’s house nearby for a play date with her sister and litter-mate Sassy.
So here are two miniature dachshunds running around and playing with an adorable little girl on a spring day. If this blog had any more sweetness in one post, I’d have to offer free insulin! By the way, Tammy is the dachshie with the red collar…
