Thoughts from the Dapper Dachshund

Hey everyone. It's me, Oscar. My mom said that I could start posting a few thoughts that I have. As you can see, I got a new toy today. I was really, really excited when mom let me get it out of the shopping bag. I love to do that! What I don't like is when mom tries to take my new toy away. I can't believe that she fusses at me for doing what I am supposed to do. Seek and destroy that annoying squeaker thing. I make it my mission to find and remove that and any stuffing from the toy. And I must say that I am pretty good at it. I already ate the body off this dangerous frog in about two minutes with my razor sharp teeth. GRRR! That frog didn't want to mess with me. Now I am guarding it with my life by laying on top of it while I dictate my thoughts to mom to write down for me. She is sooo annoying. How dare she try to take my toy away!

Anyways, I guess that today has been a decent day. If only those stupid puppies would leave me alone. They wake me up at the crack of dawn. Don't they know that I sleep until at least 10:30 and get up when I am ready to? I don't need both of those mutts jumping on me and chewing on my ear first thing and sticking their whole muzzle in my mouth when I yawn.  I feel bad about having to growl at them, but I am what I am....a grumpy old man. They should respect their elders. But revenge is mine! They got locked up while mom went to check on Aunt Nicole at the hospital, so I got plenty of couch/sleep time ALL to myself. I walked by their gate just to taunt them. I even give them my best Hannibal Lector impression. "Don't get to close to the glass, Clarise" it's pretty hilarious! But at the end of the day, I guess I do like them just a little. Especially that little Oscar Junior. He is a lot like me. He likes to snuggle with me under the blanket, so I guess I can tolerate him.

Uh-oh...gotta run. I hear someone outside. Got to get back to my guarding duties!!

It was that UPS guy. Man do I hate him!! I gave him a few of my best barks and he ran away. Ok, now I am exhausted. Gotta go rest for a few hours!
