Midlife Regression
We think the Boss is having not only a midlife crisis but a regression to childhood! She is planning on buying an ant farm and some sea monkeys. An ant farm??? Woman, are you out of your oddly-shaped human skull? Visions of cats jumping on the shelf to tap at the ants and spilling the whole contraption to the floor come to mind. And sea monkeys? Aren't those actually just brine shrimp? The cats will drink them! Now, if it was just us dogs, you'd have nothing to fear. Nevermind the getting into the garbage, that's just garbage. Do you really want dead sea monkeys on your conscience and ants in your bed??
In other news, while we were walking today, we noticed that some humans are really rude. We haven't met very many rude ones--most people realize our cuteness--so it came as kind of a surprise. Mia gets very excited when she meets other dogs. And she gets very excited when she first starts her walk. So she trots along yapping for a while until she settles down. Mia saw a large, fluffy dog and wanted to make friends with it. So she made sounds like a squeak toy and started pulling her way towards the dog. The dog's human said to our human "Geez, Lady, that dog really has issues!"
Well, I know that Mia has issues. But she's a nice dog (except when she pulls my ears and hogs the leftover pizza) and she's my sister. What a jerk! He was lucky I'm not the kind of dog to bite at people's ankles!
Most people are smarter than that though. They know a good dog when they see one.
And a dachshund is a good dog!
We'll keep you updated on the ant farm and and the sea monkeys!
Your friend,

You did not provide an email so I have to contact you this way
So I work with American Online at pets.aol.com and we have come across your blog via recommendations from various sources and searches and want to let you know about a fun little little thing we are doing over at AOL Pets. We love your writing!
As you may or may not know the editors of pets.aol.com have started a blog called The Awwwww Factor (http://journals.aol.com/aolpets/TheAwwwwwFactor/) in which they have been posting pictures of cute pets that people have sent in...
We want to take this to the next level and create what we will be calling a weekly "Blog Zoo" in which we will be collecting the best pet blog posts of the week and writing about them and linking to them.
We will be collecting these posts once a week via submissions from bloggers like you and we where wondering if you wanted to be part of the initial beginning phases of this project?
All that it would require is you sending a submission of what you think is your best writing of the week (regarding pets or animal care) to a designated address or place (not yet determined) and then, on the day of the blog zoo, telling your readers to visit the Blog Zoo at AOL to read the best writing on pet blogs for that week.
If your blog is one of them, which I am sure it will be, a link to your blog will also be made available on AOL.
Let me know, at your convenience, what you think and if you think you would like to join the project.
We feel that this would be a great thing for both you and AOL.
There are just so many good pet blogs out there and yours is one of them and so we thought it would be a good idea to use AOL to make sure that everyone knew about them.
Please feel free to contact me via any of the means bellow
All the best and BLOG ON!!!
