No, we haven't been in timeout -- and we're pretty sure that's what you thought. We've just been slackers. We've just been having a pretty good time, and we took a break. But we're back.
We'll try to catch you up with our latest adventures:
- Right before Christmas, we woke up one morning and heard all sorts of strange sounds outside...it sounded like the chainsaw and giant suck machine (vacuum cleaner?) all at one time, so that couldn't be good. When we finally got to go outside and check out the noise, we found our favorite big pine trees were missing from the backyard. Bandit was particularly upset to find all the excavation work he'd done around the tree near the weird bush was all gone. Now there was a big hole full of wood chips. We're not really sure what caused this, but we figure there will be lots of termites and grubs in that part of the yard when summer comes. That can't be bad.
- Christmas was fun. Grandma came and slipped us food under the table a couple of times. Staffer Mom took some time off and when she does that, she tends to cook a lot. This time, she cooked so much, she dropped food on the floor a lot, so that worked out well. She can stay home more often.
- The staff got a Wii. And frankly, we think those things are hazardous. First of all, they always move the furniture to play with it, and when Staffer Mom is Wii boxing she gets pretty violent. Last night, she nearly stepped on Maggie twice. When Staffer Dad's playing Wii bowling, he won't let us in the den at all. This was quite unexpected for us and remains an annoying situation.
- Then, we spent New Year's at the beach. It was cold there, but the staff lets us sit on the couch at the beach house and that made up for a lot. Unlike last year, they didn't make us watch all five "Planet of the Apes" movies. Instead, they took the stupid Wii to play with. Now we're worried they'll take away our Wimbledon and U.S. Open vacations to play with that stupid toy.
So that puts us about even...except for our new nighttime yard game. We'll tell you about that later.

Wii's are dangerous. We just read about another dachsie who got hit in his head while he was watching his mom play tennis. If one of those comes in this house we might have to chew up something.

Welcome back!!
*sigh* - what we wouldn't give to spend New Year's at the beach!
We spent it in a blizzard! (inside, of course - buried under a pile of blankies!!)
Your friends,
Oskar, Schatzi & Xena
I want a Wii. I don't think that Heller would appreciate it, though. He tends to agree with you two.
Nice to see you back, LDs. We missed you.
And don't mourn the pine trees. They are just huge weeds that are good for nothing but making 2-by-4s and newsprint.
As for the Wii, maybe there's a digging version the staffers could get for y'all.

p.s Oh yeah, Bisquick says hey.
