Rod Tongue

It seems that when Rod is having a rather intense dream, his tongue becomes visible from nearly dream-barking!  Here is a little peek of Rod tongue:

Social Rod

Saturday was our monthly Doxie Meetup where we are supposed to socialize and make new friends.  Although Rod isn't quite sure he wants to make new friends yet, he did seem to enjoy running around by himself.  Hoping to make new friends soon!

Box-y Rod

The package may have come for me, but the best part is for the Rod.  He sure knows what to do with a nice box!

A lesson in box fun:

Flying Rod

Taking a leap onto the bed while playing with his favorite squeaker.  A rare action shot!

Lazy Rod

Rod got a chewie (as I call them) and enjoyed chewing it in the laziest way possible.  Nothing like a lazy chewie day!

Almost worth moving...

Within my grasp.

Eyes on the prize...so close.

There's the effort I like to see!

How to bury your chewie when there is nothing to bury it in:

Our First DoxPhest

Today was our area's doxphest and boy are we all tired this evening!  It was our first experience at such an event and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  What a great site to see so many dachshunds in one place!  Rod won his first 2 heats, I was very proud of him!  Of course, I would have been proud if he got last place in the very first race :)  Some footage to enjoy is below!

Fell asleep during the action!

Some doxie art!

Rod's first race!

More Food, Please.

Rod waits patiently for his food, hands folded, eyes knowing how to be adorable.  Sometimes I think they just know how to look at you...

But sometimes you still need a minute to dig in...

Rod is also famous for playing tiddly-winks with his kibbles.  Nothing like giving your food a little life before you dive in!
