Remember an older article about how we adopted a dog that was a Hurricane Katrina evacuee?

You can Read about it here.

Well here he is doing just fine.

Jack The Dachshund

When you mess with several websites you tend to forget to write on some of them.

I’ve also been busy closing down the swimming pool for the winter, taking photography classes, getting ready for deer season, working out in the gym, etc.

Anyways… I thought I would throw some of my readers a bone, since its been so long since I wrote and share with you a video I captured this week of me and my dogs going for a ride to a trail we like to hike.

Its kind of funny at the 2 minute mark, the vehicle looks like its taking to the skies, but actually we are going up a ramp near a levee. It looks neat though.

The video was shot using the iPhone 4 and edited with iMovie on the iPhone 4.

Check out the article on www.ilovemyweiner.com Lots of videos are included in the article.

That’s right the new “I Love My Weiner” website that’s all about Dachshunds. Visit it here www.ilovemyweiner.com

This site is chock full of informative and often updated articles about Dachshunds of all types. Also there are videos and discounts on pet supplies.

If you are a Facebook user you can become a fan here  http://www.facebook.com/ILoveMyWeinerDachshunds Or Follow Dachshundjack using Twitter …sometimes there is different content on each.

Also have been working on getting our swimming pool installed and coming up with some plans for a deck. The pool is an above ground pool, 24 feet across, eight foot deep.

The tree next to the pool is coming down asap, and I gotta get the dirt moved and get the deck built.

More pics to come later.

I quickly grabbed a Nikon Camera (s230) with video capture capabilities and started to record. You just never know what might happen.

I then later edited it a little bit in Adobe Premiere Elements 8 and made it a little funnier.

He stayed with me in the backyard and watched me work all day today.

Here is a look back on him.

JACK THE DACHSHUND

Jack is now a little over 3 months old and he loves hiding his pigskin chewtoys. I dont understand why he does it. He doesnt want to hide any of his toys or other things just those pigskin chews that I give him every now and then.

I saw him today take his little pigskin and take it to this area of the living room thats by the couch and in between the couch and end table he likes to pretend to bury it. He actually tries to dig for a bit, place the pigskin in an imaginary hole, then proceed to nose the imaginary dirt over the hole.

This is pure instinct on his part. Isn’t that just amazing. Its in his DNA to do those things.

He has two of those skins that I let him play with and he hides each one. If I find one, he will relocate it for later. Today he tried to place one behind the bedroom door and he goes back often to check on it. Its really funny.

Yesterday he ran off and I ended up at the neighbors home and they have a cat named Tinkerbell. This was Jacks second encounter with Tinkerbell and I have some video of it. Its kinda cute.

Here are some pictures that were takin recently. Oh check out how funny he looks when he sleeps. He almost always sleeps on his back.

DEE EL THE NAWLINS DOG

He recently got a new collar with some *BLING*

Other than that he has just been acting cool as always. He loves to ride and I take him to town most of the time with me. He recently started doing this thing in the car thats pretty cool. He will brace himself in the turns. Yes he really does. He will sometimes put his hands on the middle console in between the bucket seats and he will have his back legs on the back seat. Usually he stays proped up against the passenger seat and if I turn  to my left, he is fine, he just leans on the passenger seat. If I turn to my right, he braces hims self with his left hand on the driver seat. Its really cute. I will have to get some video or pictures of this soon.

LOUIE

Louies eye healed up nicely. He has been away from home for a bit chasing a lil female pup, but he is back home for now just chillin.

I do however have some pictures of him that I dug up of when he was 6 weeks old.

Well he is growing like a weed but still small which is great. He is up to 6.2 lbs now, up 4lbs since we got him.

I have not taken too many more pics of him, but I will get on that soon. I still have video I need to publish when he was a lot smaller and I also need to get on that soon.

He has been a little awnry about going to potty in the house. I think it has a lot to do with the rains from Hurricane Fay that we are getting. He doesn’t like rain and wet yards so we are having a tough time with that.

I have heard that Dachshunds are notoriously hard to house break, but he is really not that bad. He just has spells and we will work through them eventually.

He is currently getting longer, and is deveolping a change in hair color. He is still brown and some black, but now with some gray sprinkles on his head and lower sides. I will get pics of that later.

This pic is of him helping me blog.
Sorry for the blurry cellphone picture.
