The very first thing I did when I brought Tammy home last May was to give her a bath, ‘cuz the poor girl had sooooo many fleas!  Then I had to give her another one the next day.  It was just a rotten flea season all around ‘cuz of the warm weather the preceding winter.

Anyhoo, ever since she’s had something of an aversion to water.  She doesn’t even enjoy going out in the rain to “do her doggie business”.  But she’s starting to take a liking to the warm water from the shower whenever she needs to get clean ‘n shiny.

Here’s Tammy about to get some puppy pamperin’:

Has this puppy no shame?!  This week’s Tammy Tuesday has my mini dachshund Tammy enjoying a rope toy while flashing her pooch privates…
 

Despite a regular and healthy regimen of doggie treats, pieces of ham (leftover from my breakfast every morning) and the occasional flake of popcorn that falls to the floor, Tammy is bound and determined to sniff out more yummy bites!

Beginning today, look forward to a weekly (meaning: as often as I can remember to do it) photo of Tammy: my miniature dachshund! These won’t necessarily be a just-taken pic of her. It’ll be whatever is in the Tammy-file that I think might bring a smile to y’all’s faces. But since she’s still just ten months old, there aren’t that many photos of her that I could have made anyway.

Here she is from last week, looking content in the “nest” she’s made with a blanket in the recliner…

Awright, yes, I know: I have been woefully slack in blogging of late. Didn’t even get around to doing that write-up about ActionFest (I’ll be brief: Solomon Kane is the purest Robert E. Howard adaptation we’ve ever gotten and it oughtta kick all kinds of unholy booty at the box office, Goon is a riot, ManBorg shows how anyone can make an awesome movie for less than a thousand dollars Canadian, and Comin’ At Ya! 3-D 30th Anniversary was the craziest midnight showing I’ve ever attended). And there was also this really big ballroom dance thingy that Kristen did a few weeks ago, that I’ll be posting some video of hopefully sooner than later. ‘Twas the first time that our families got to meet each other 🙂

Anyway, there’s plenty of good reason why I’ve been away from the blog more than I’d liked. There’s some crazy good stuff happening ...
