GREEN DOXIE

Are you a Green Doxie? I HOPE SO!

In celebration of Earth Day, I'm going to bestow the ultimate of ultimate awards to a deserving Green Doxie! It's literally a green doxie (along with some treats, toys, & other goodies, of course)!


Now, you don't have to be a doxie to participate. You can be a Yorkie, Pug, Shih-Tzu, or a Yorkie/Pug/Shih-Tzu Mix! As long as you can post a comment explaining how or listing all the ways you are "green", you're welcome to join in on the fun!

Here's an example: I make sure Nina uses biodegradable plastic bags to pick-up my poop.

You can also list other things like how your human recycles or rides a bike to work.

Comments must be posted by April 21st on THIS post!

The winner will be chosen by our very GREEN friend, Scott.

The winner will be announced on April 22nd, Earth Day!

Good luck!

Happy Birthday, Margot!

Margot Poopy-Face is 2 years old today! Hard to believe she used to look like this:

I was cuter!

She was really annoying as a puppy - always following me around!

She's all grown up now and no longer a puppy... which means I can beat her up without getting in trouble!

Oh, Margot. Thank Dog you're cute.

Love,
Franny

Yippee! I'm Back!

I've been gone for far too long! It feels good to be back where I belong - the spotlight! I missed all my friends in the blogosphere, that's for sure! So where did I go? Well, let me tell you a little story...

October 2009: Nina and Margot went to Florida to visit Pony. Margot had a lot of fun hanging out with our new cousin, a Cavi. After a week in Florida, they flew up to NYC to visit Boyfriend. Shortly after returning to California, Nina and Boyfriend decided to part ways due to the thousands of miles between them.

November 2009 - January 2010: A forlorn Nina was too busy with her own feelings and work, that she neglected me for a few months. I tried my best to make her realize that precious time was being wasted on her depression and that really, it should be spent on me. But she didn't listen. She never listens to me (she underestimates my intelligence). So then I became depressed... Thanksgiving and Christmas drifted along, like pieces of my broken heart floating down a river of my tears... But now, she is FINALLY snapping out of it. I really hope Nina's New Year's Resolution for 2010 is to stop being selfish about her personal issues, because I matter more. And as much as I hate to admit it, my sisters, Ellie and Margot, matter too. But I matter more.
From the Doxiementary Gang:
EAT, DRINK, & BE HAIRY IN 2010!!!

Love, Franny

P.S. Updates to come! If not, I'll be sure to pee in Nina's bed!

Kate Spade or Spayed?

This week we went to the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto to do some Christmas shopping. We stopped by the Kate Spade Store and came across another dachshund -- one that Nina can wear around her neck!

She couldn't resist getting this adorable dachshund scarf.

It makes a great pillow!

Of course, I just had to get something from Kate Spayed too!

How do you like my new designer purse?

This is my "sexy" model pose, which is also what I look like right before I fall asleep from being bored.

On the Seaside

California blessed us with beautiful weather over the Thanksgiving weekend. Nina could not think of a better place to go than the very dog-friendly Fort Funston in San Francisco. As you already know, we go there every chance we get!

Sometimes I'm too shy to make new friends.

Other times, I'm a little TOO friendly.

What was that?!

Looks like a long way down.

Margot and I are Mountain Doxies, native to the sand dunes of California. We spend our days grazing the seaside in the warm sun.

Hey, look over there...

... someone is dimming the lights! It's almost time to go home!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Gobble-Gobble,
Franny

Franny's Second Birthday

Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Second Birthday Princess Franny, Happy Birthday to me!

That cake looks yummy...

Two candles for turning two years old.

Hey, why is my cake on fire? And why am I wearing this silly party hat instead of a tiara or crown?

GIVE US CAKE!

And a piece of yogurt candy.

Yummy, yum, yum.

Ripping paper is the most fun a doxie girl can have!

A little help, please.

OOOOOh...

Margot, don't be jealous. Now step away from my presents.

HEY, where do you think you're going with that?!


What's in here???


I love my new donut.


Oh donut, how I wish you were real. Then I would love you more -- for at least three seconds.


I'm pooped. What a perfect birthday.

I'm fourteen (in human years),

Franny

P.S. Happy Birthday to Chloe's Dad whose birthday is also today!

Earth Day 2008

I hold the future of our earth in the pads of my paws... and so do you! Do your part and be active about reusing, reducing, and recycling.

Orbee-tuff balls are non-toxic, recyclable, and last a long time.

Brown Bear was made from recycled products.

Everyone should be aware and concerned about the environment and the planet we live on. Here are some tips...

1. Buy dog toys that are made from recycled products or are recyclable.

2. Use biodegradable bags for cleaning up after us dogs.

3. Use biodegradable puppy pads for those who need to use pads. Hartz makes some great biodegradable pads that are better than regular pads.

4. If possible, buy locally made dog treats.

Shop OliveGreenDog.com until April 30th and recieve 15% Off!!!

Annie's Sweatshop is also a great place to buy from to help the environment! Their products are not only great for the environment, they're also great for dachshunds.

Don't forget the three Rs,

Franny

Spring Sleeping

It's spring! The sun is shining, the weather is warmer, and the flowers are blooming!

I still feel like hibernating...

It's so comfy in bed. I'm staying put.

Leave me, I say! And don't forget to shut the blinds!

I think Brody wants to get out...

Guess not! Now it's time for a nice nap.

Happy Belated Easter,
Franny

Happy Early Valentine's Day!

Nina is going to New York tomorrow. She will be in New York during Valentine's Day which really sucks because I need to be smothered in kisses, especially on Valentine's Day! She baked some yummy Valentine's Day red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting to take with her for her friends in New York.

Who doesn't like Red Velvet? My favorite part is the cream cheese frosting.

This is absolute torture.

I'm sad Nina is leaving me alone for 10 days and I'm sad I didn't get any cupcakes...

J'adore moi,
Franny
