Bark & Bubbles

Hey frenz,

Phew, it has been a crazy weekend. I went for my regular walk with Mom yesterday and I discovered birds?!! I know I know it sounds strange but I never really let those birdies bother me but I have no idea what got into me yesterday! I was trying really hard to chase the birdies but Mom held on to my leash so tightly that I couldn't even get close to them. Those birdies kept taunting me from afar and I had to BARK really loudly to show my displeasure. :(

I mentioned earlier that I visit my regular beauty salon to get my nails done. I haven't had a chance to go for a full grooming session cos my hair's still growing really slowly. Mom says a long hair dachshund coat will take up to 3 years to grow to a bootiful length like Copper's & Hershey's so I'll just have to be patient in the mean time.

I get my nails groomed like every 6-8 weeks depending on how much walkies I have been getting. My beauty salon is called Bark & Bubbles and it's opawrated by two lovely ladies. They have two brown Cocker spaniels called Chocolate & Bree. Mom says I should socialise more with them and I try my best to make friends. Bree's a very friendly girl and she's very excited and loves to play. Erm...I get a little freaked out by rough play and I ended up hiding between Mom's legs with my tail between my legs. Embarassing huh? Chocolate is a tad bit quieter and yeah, we did try to sniff and make friends so she wasn't that bad. :)

Like I said earlier, silly Mom did bring her camera along but she really shy and snapping piktures since she didn't know if the groomers mind. Mom = shy? Oh PUHLEEZE!!! Anyhoo, she says she was afraid the flash from the camera would agitate the dawgs there. Excuses...excuses.....excuses... Too bad I can't handle the camera with my paws else I'd definately be snapping away.

There were 4 other mini schnauzers that were being groomed and they all belong to the same hooman parents! They were quite friendly too but had to be leashed up cos they had just been groomed and the hoomans were afriad that their beard would get wet after all that playing and their hooman parents won't be happy to see that.

I remember my first trip to there, it was a horrible experience. I was so nervous and inexperienced. I kept squirming and freaking out big time. The ladies couldn't even put me on the table to work on my manicure. To make things more interesting, I had to erm..release my anal glands all over the poor groomer. Oopsie.....anyhoo, that was the first time and last time I did that. At least they look happier to see me now. hahaha



We walked past this stone table & chair under one of the HDB blocks. Hoomans enjoy sitting down and relaxing there sometimes. I'm checking out the floor for leftovers....hehe...


Nope - nothing good for me to eat at all. I wonder what those white specks on the floor are. Birdie poop?


Walking home. Mom lets me lead the way so she can get a good pikture.


Checking out the corners. Don't ask me why I do that I just do. It's a habit I think.


This is a video of me walking Mom back home. Yeah, I have a good sense of direction and so I insist Mom follows me closely behind in case she gets lost.

On a side note, Mom lent her camera to her sister and her Mom for their holiday trip so she may not be able to get piktures of me over the next 2 weeks!! She did say she wanna bring me out to some dog run - something along the lines where she can unleash me and let me run around in an enclosed area. I've never been to one before. Hopefully, Dad brings along his big kick-a** camera and we'll be able to get some nice shots.

Mom also ordered some food and stuffs for me and it should be delivered tomorow!! Can't wait to see what goodies I'll be getting!!
