If You're Happy and you know it . . .

Introducing Happy! We took Beau to the Buda Wiener Dog Races on April 27 and while we were there we stopped by to say hi to the ATDR folks since we got Beau from them. We mentioned that we had been thinking about fostering dachshunds and asked what steps we would need to take to do so. Well, it turns out that a couple had surrendered their dog to the rescue just a few minutes earlier and they didn't have anyone to foster him. So, since they knew us, they asked if we would be willing to foster Happy. We walked around for a while and purchased some wiener paraphernalia. The doggles seemed to get along well, so we agreed to be Happy's foster family.

He is younger than Beau and has a more playful, hyper, silly personality. He also had heart worms so we had to take him to Houston for treatment last week and are trying our best to keep him calm and quiet for the next 5 weeks (easier said than done!). He is a sweet boy, so if you are in the market for a wienie, you may want to keep him in mind!

Vote Beau for president!

Well, not really, but I would appreciate it if you voted for him for Austin's Best Dachshund. The Austin American Statesman is putting on a "dog show" on their website and they are having competitions for all the breeds. For the next 2 weeks, the focus is on the weinie dogs. :) If you would like to vote, go to http://www.statesman.com/news/content/life/interactive/hotnot_best_wiener/index.html Beau's pictures are #199-200 (closer to the end, so go backwards instead of forwards to find him. Our whole family thanks you!

I'm making June 22

my new birthday. Well, not really. I am kind of partial to November 1. But, something is happening on June 22, 2008 that I have been waiting for a long time. Rock Band is finally coming out on Wii! Hooray! I have wanted to buy Rock Band since I first played it at Zach's friend, Levi's house. It is the most fun game that I think I have ever played. It is much better than Guitar Hero because in addition to guitar, someone can play drums and someone can sing! And it actually scores you! And, by some odd twist of fate, I am actually good at the singing part! Which is weird because in real life I am a dreadful singer. But, anyway, mark your calendars to not call Barbara on June 22 because I will be busy. Hmm, I wonder if I should ask off from work?

Alert! Alert! Major Confession!!!!!

I LOVE this song!!!!

I sing it at the top of my lungs in the car.

Miley Cyrus is the best!!

But, that Hannah Montana bitch sucks.

Sad and Scary!

This is a really tragic story. The scary thing is, malignant hyperthermia is the disease that I have. I'm pretty thankful, especially after reading this that they were able to treat me after my reaction and that I'm ok today. Here's a follow up.
