Car Accident

This morning, like every morning, we all got in the car to leave for work. Nina started the car to begin the defrosting process (because even in California the weather is cold and the car gets icy). While she was waiting for the car to warm-up, she remembered she forgot her cell phone in the house, so she got out of the car to get her phone and as she closed the door, Margot tried to jump out.

Poor little Margot got hit by the car door. She cried and whined and we were very worried. She wouldn't eat, was very depressed and didn't want to walk.

The Doc took some x-rays to make sure nothing was broken or fractured.

The Doc said she has a clean bill of health! She's sore and bruised but with a little rest and TLC, she should be back to her normal self in a jiffy.

Margot is getting lots of hugs, kisses, tasty food and way too much attention if you ask me... Are you superstitious? I think this all happened because Margot's 1st Birthday is this Friday... Friday the 13th!

Drive safely,
Franny

This year on "Doxiementary"...

Franny's adventures continue, taking place in a different part of the San Francisco Bay Area, and with a whole new cast of characters.

Franny

ME, the star of this blog, always and forever.

Margot

My doxie sister who is a recovering poo-eater and lawn-destroyer.

Pippin

My kitten brother who we adopted last year into our family. He had a myriad of health problems and we got him all better! He's a cat who actually likes me!

Eloise

Ellie is our newly adopted baby sister. She came to us needing some love and a new family. We just couldn't say "no".

UPDATES: Because it would take me 78 hours to type one post with my paws, Nina helps me with my blog. Our avid readers may have noticed that Nina has not been helping me, and this blog has not been getting updated. Hopefully we will update in a more timely manner. In the mean time, I wanted to share with everyone what has been going on!

First, we're MOVING! We live in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area but we are now moving to the Peninsula. How cool is that? Because our family has reached its maximum capacity, we're moving to a pet-friendlier place closer to Nina's work.

We've been extremely busy preparing for our move, but in the beginning of January, we visited Pony for the very last time at her Los Angeles home. She moved to Florida a few weeks ago so our trips to LA are no more. I hope one day I will be able to visit her in Florida and see my cousin Lucky again (and eat his poo).

Lastly, I want to thank all my friends who continue to leave comments on my blog! I'll find a way to thank you better.

Yours truly,
Franny

Never Too Late To Say...

Updates to come!

After the Storm

It stopped raining!!! Yippee!

There's nothing better than digging after a week of rain.

The lawn needs more holes.

After the storm and after the digging, there's always a bath...

Raining Cats and Dogs

I know winter has officially come when it starts to rain and the temperature drops. It just started raining today which means I'll be spending most of my time indoors. I know many of you are experiencing colder temperatures, but I'm freezing in 45 degree weather!

It's raining

It's pouring
Being inside is BORING

Dark and gloomy skies mark the beginning of winter.

Lately I've been spending most of time next to this thing.

Does it look familiar? Warm air blows out of it and I think I'm in love!

Because the metal gets hot, Nina thought it'd be a good idea to put a towel over it. It has now become my new bed. I guess it's the equivalent to basking in the sun, only indoors.

I'm never leaving this spot. Time for a nap.

Dreaming of warmer days,
Franny

Lookin' Soxy

I picked these socks out at the Pet Expo a few months ago. It's finally the right time to wear them!

You'd think they would be uncomfortable, but they're actually quite nice.

I hope you're keeping your paws nice and warm in the cold weather.

Love,
Franny

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.

Material dog in a material world,
