Missing The Land of Enchantment. Hanging out in Phoenix with my dachshund.

Any/All Pronouns
Protecting Francis from “exploding” like Francis the First. Honest, Mama!

Hounds of all shapes and sizes are solar powered.

I seem to have misplaced my dachshund. Where could he be??? 🤔

When you’re the only theater kid in the entire cinema, you carefully plan your outfit and fill your pocket with Kleenex. #PinkGoesGoodWithGreen #ForGood

When you want maximum autumn coziness but you live in Phoenix. He’s wearing a sweater (he adamantly insisted) under that blanket so he needs to balance his temperature levels.

A slightly modified dead horse pose. All legs are not sticking straight out in front of him.

It’s finally cool enough he wants a sweater for morning walkies in the dark. It’s only supposed to reach the mid 60s today so I’m letting him keep it on. Happy boy!

I made him go outside in a very fine mist. On his birthday. #MaximumCruelty Don’t worry, he has a new toy and some treats waiting for tonight when I get home.

Mr. Pitiful has been loving the high temperatures in the 80s. Not so fond of dark, 57F mornings. He’s even less fond of me going to work on Saturday mornings, earlier than my weekday schedule. Only the strawberry I gave him could make things better. #PobrecitoKiernan

Made my green chile mac & cheese for the work potluck today. Not remotely healthy and you taste that in every bite!

When you are just a wee small baby and it’s still dark out, you need a comfy nest from which to supervise Mama packing her lunch.

And still, no one gets my super funny t-shirt. (A gift from my vet. I used to have one with an eight but sheep plugged into a wall socket which she coveted. When she found this graphic, she bought one for each of us.)

Later he supervised car cleaning from the shade in the garage. This was the minimum safe distance from the dastardly vacum.

Practicing at the dog park after we dropped off a load of cardboard for recycling. I forgot to bring treats so the distance he was willing to Stay rapidly dropped.

Scamming cuddle time with Francis. Who he's not supposed to touch after the incident with Francis the First "exploding."

Mama, might there be more of those delicious crunchy things?? 😍

Kiernans love caramel rice crisps, too! He’s so delicate when taking food. Most of the time, anyway. No hound is perfect.

Kiernan is having his evening quality time. A blanket, a cheese stick and a toy, should the move strike. He gets very industrious around this time of night. And then conks out thirty minutes later.

Ten years old in weeks and this is his first pup cup. In my defense, prior to getting his car seat, he screamed nonstop on car rides. Also, I don’t like Starbucks and a latte is rarely what I’m craving when out and about. I didn’t even know Culver’s offered them!

Can you #FindThatDachshund? We had our morning walk, now he’s ready to sleep for an hour.

What do you mean by “Not helping?” #DachshundsGottaNest

Happy Halloweenie!

Strutting his stuff!

The managers decorate our desks for out birthdays. We get steamers, balloons, temporary custody of the Happy Birthday banner and a card signed by the whole department. I requested no balloons (latex allergy.) Look at the adorable latex free balloons they made for me! 🥰🥰
