Hey there, lovely San Saba friends! I think the weather got confused or perhaps a raccoon chewed on its wires and shorted out the heat because this cold was not supposed to happen! How can it be 90 degrees one day and in the 30’s the next unless someone delivers an enormous freezer and puts all of us in it? I don’t care for it, not even a little! Hey, this dachshund isn’t exactly the Hulk!
I have a habit mom does not care for…I am a leaf eater. We really don’t have grass in our backyard, just lots of dirt and little weeds with leaves. Mom decided since she can’t use the lawn mower back there, she would weed eat the entire yard, but not in the manner I do - with a machine. I thought that was a stupid waste of energy as the woman is a vegetarian after all; she lives off leafy things! Furthermore, if she thinks they are so good for her, why was she upset with me for snacking on them? Um, when she came inside trembling from head to toes from actually using the machine, I made the mistake of stating my case. All I can say is her tongue may as well have been attached to a dachshund whacker…enough said!
I consider it my solemn duty to be a neighborhood watch dachshund. I sit on the top of the couch and watch out the picture window to what is going on in our neighborhood. When it got cold, mom and I went out on the front porch, and I went barking ballistic! Mom looked in the direction of my discomfort and began laughing which upset me even more! It seems what I perceived as a monster was a sheet our neighbors had covered their plants with to protect from freezing that was blowing in the wind! Hey, I refuse to apologize for being protective!
Stay warm, my dearest loves, this too shall pass! Find joy in who, what, and how you are. Laugh, make your eyes sparkle with the happiness in your heart, your mouth turn upward with the love in your soul, and dazzle your life with the originality of brain!
We love you so much… Lenny
