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…
Last week my mini dachshund Tammy became one year old! I don’t care what her age is: she’ll forever be my baby. I’m always calling her “Tammy the pup” (okay, along with other nicknames like “Tammy the Troublemaker”, “Tammy the Terror”, “Tammy the Tripper” and too many others to count…)
But this week marks the one-year anniversary of the first time she and I met. And the first time my eyes fell on her, I was madly in love with that fuzzy little ball of concentrated cuteness!
So I thought that for this installment of Tammy Tuesday, I’d post photos of that very first encounter between Tammy and I…

It was four weeks later that I got to bring her home. Y’all can’t imagine how eager I was to have at long last a female miniature dachshund to run around the place 🙂
I still can’t ...
(Awright, who will get that reference without having to Google for it? 🙂
A few nights ago I was trying to snap a photo of Tammy and myself together. Of the ten or so that I took none of them had Tammy looking at the camera! She refused to cooperate any way at all. I think it’s because she figures she has to be the star of everything and she doesn’t share her stage with anybody…
Anyway, here’s Tammy and her always-loving/more than occasionally exasperated owner:
Here’s a hint: next week’s Tammy Tuesday features these same two characters in altogether different circumstances 🙂...
Whenever anyone goes down the basement stairs, Tammy has to come to the door and look down. I think it’s in the hopes that we might bring something yummy up from the freezer (which she might or might not get a tasty morsel of)…
...
I’ve had Tammy for ten months now. That’s plenty of time to chronicle a lot of her but one thing that keeps eluding me is a perfect shot of this baby’s teeth. She had those needle-like daggers that pups always have at first but ever since she lost her puppy teeth she’s grown in some positivalutely gnarly chompers.
Well, it’s not ideal by far, but this really is the best pic I’ve been able to take of not just her teeth but that psycho look in her eye when she’s showing them off 🙂
Want more wiener dog?!? Tammy is a more fortunate pup than many. Ya see, my cousin nearby wound up with Tammy’s litter-mate Sassy. And because of that they’ve had plenty of occasion to romp and play together.
So here is Tammy (with the red collar) and her sister Sassy, along with my cousin’s two children. Hey, it’s two cute dachshunds and two cute kids: what could possibly be cute-sier? 🙂
