Daisy Mae Tales

Baby it's cold outside

2012-01-04T12:28:00.001-06:00

If Billy wore big hats and fluffy scarves, this is what he would look like.

Happy New Year

2011-12-31T15:28:00.000-06:00

Mom's First Sweater for Me!

2011-12-06T11:52:00.001-06:00

Mom finally knitted me a sweater. It's her first and she did it
without a pattern and it fits pretty good. It has two pink Daisy buttons on it, for flashy styling.

I am hoping for a red fluffy Christmas sweater.

Happy Halloween

2011-10-31T10:01:00.001-05:00

I'm a pumpkin again this year and I rather be cute than scary.
Eat all the candy you can find on the floor, because they never remember to give dogs extra treats and they deserve the trick.

A Bewitchingly good read

2011-10-31T09:55:00.001-05:00

Tonight is the night to sunggle up to a bewitchingly good book.
Mommie has been reading the best Witch book ever and I am spellbound.
You should pick up your own copy of A Discovery of Witches for a good long read, into the lives of us spooky witches.

Getting ready for Dancing with the Stars

2011-09-17T11:00:00.000-05:00

Mom sure likes those dance shows on TV and we
watch them too. Camo and Billy are practicing the Tango.

Camo's 5th Birthday

2011-08-15T15:02:00.000-05:00

Today it's his birthday and he can bark if he wants to.....
Camo knows that there are porkchops in the fridge
and he has already made his Birthday wish.

Summer Cut

2011-05-20T07:44:00.000-05:00

I have my summer cut and I even look smaller.
The biggest surprise was that I still have my slim figure.
Mom and Dad thought I was chubby. They were wrong.
I was just furry.
Mom wishes that shaving her legs would have the same
effect on her. Ha! Ha!

The Boys on watch

2011-05-07T08:30:00.000-05:00

The boys at their favorite perch, looking out at the
wildlife at the ponds.

Mommie and I are both surprised that Billy is now
the same size as Camo. Billy is really tall and Camo is really
short.

Bug off Billy!

2011-04-13T22:40:00.000-05:00

Camo and Billy went for a walk in the woods, last week-end.
I stayed home because it was a long hard walk.
Billy was his crazy high energy self and he get bugging Camo.
Camo snapped ENOUGH! Leave me alone you little BUG!

We all now call Billy a Bug. Billy Bug is his nickname.

Happy go Lucky

2011-03-09T09:17:00.000-06:00

I'm just a Happy go Lucky Gal.

Just running around in the rain

and I know there will be always a fluffy

towel waiting for me.

So how is your day going?

Billy wants to plant

2011-03-07T12:51:00.000-06:00

Billy wants to plant..a big kiss, sloppy dog kiss on any one

that says Hello to him.

Mom is still in the garden and we do anything for attention!

I'm planted

2011-02-17T09:26:00.000-06:00

Mommie is in the garden. She is always in the garden
now. The only way I can get her attention is to where
my Spring sweater and bloom!

Hill Billy stays sweet

2011-02-14T09:57:00.000-06:00

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

2011-02-12T11:49:00.000-06:00

I want to wish all my people and canine friends a
very Happy Valentine's day.
I hope you know that you are loved.
No go and beg for candy!
You deserve the best!

Love from Camo

2011-02-11T09:56:00.000-06:00

Loverboy Camo is already for Valentine's week-end.
I'll see if he kisses up to me or if he pals around with Billy.

Love me truly

2011-02-08T14:02:00.000-06:00

Hey, Sugar

2011-01-31T09:51:00.000-06:00

Mommie says I look sweet in this cap.
I say" Where's the cookie?"

Happy Birthday to my Daddy

2011-01-24T12:53:00.000-06:00

It's my Daddy's birthday and this is my
card to him.
He is the best smoocher on earth!

Brotherly Love

2011-01-17T16:13:00.000-06:00

My bothers. love each other more than they love me.
I'm okay with that.
Mom loves me BEST!

He wears snow well

2011-01-14T23:12:00.000-06:00

My mom makes me wear sweaters. She especially like brightly
colored stripe ones. I'm the joker of our family.
I am the closest dog to the ground and I collect snowballs in
my fur and on the sweaters.
When I come in to the house, I am scoped up in a towel
and deposit in a deep sink, with a warm running bath to
melt my snowballs.
It's a spa treatment for my feet.
Life is good!

Every night is a 3 dog night

2011-01-14T23:02:00.000-06:00

I feel like a pink ice puppy

2011-01-14T22:46:00.000-06:00

Come save me from the snow.
I'm a pink piffle of sweet puppy running thru the
the roads, from a pink puffy puppy snatcher,.
I make my best escapes in my dreams.

Dashing thru the snow

2011-01-12T12:37:00.000-06:00

Snow Weiner dog

2011-01-12T12:31:00.000-06:00

Camo walks thru the snow and collects snowballs.
He loves it!

It's me....I'm in the pink

2011-01-12T12:28:00.000-06:00

Th snow is as tall as me. Lucky for me, my pink snow suit
keeps me warm and noticeable.

Baby, it's cold outside

2011-01-12T12:25:00.000-06:00

We are in a Southern Snow storm and I'm keeping
warm. I can't even go outside much, because the snow
is taller than me.

Wishing a great 2011

2011-01-01T13:00:00.000-06:00

For all my pals and pup friends, I wish you
a very Yappy New Year.

Remember that good dogs have fun where ever
they can find it.

Snow Bunny

2010-12-29T18:46:00.000-06:00

I love my pink snow suit. It keeps me warm,
while I chase real bunnies in the snow.

Our Official Christmas Photo

2010-12-29T18:33:00.000-06:00

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.
We had a great time under the tree.
Some of those presents were ours, with dog treats inside.

Billy is the Christmas Elf.
I'm Miss Ho! Ho! Ho! in my Christmas dress.
Camo makes the best Doxie Reindeer.

Tiny Daisy

2010-12-29T18:29:00.000-06:00

Mommie is not sure if I am this small......or it's just
the angle of the picture.
Yikes! I'm tiny, next to the Elf!

Under the tree...Billy and Me

2010-12-29T18:24:00.000-06:00

You can see that I'm still small and Billy has grown.
He has even grown Elf Ears!
Ha! Ha!

It's Christmas Eve

2010-12-24T10:37:00.000-06:00

It's Christmas Eve and we are ready.......
Ready for Santa to come.
Ready to tear into our presents and eat the treats inside.
Ready to play in the snow, because the first time in
40 years, the weather report says it's going to snow
on Christmas morning.

Jingle Bell Ready

2010-12-18T07:11:00.000-06:00

We are having a Christmas party tonight and Billy is
jingle bell ready. He has on his Christmas Elf sweater.
He doesn't know that it also comes with Elf ears!
Wait till you see those pictures of Silly Billy!

I will be wearing my velvet Mrs. Santa Dress and
Camo will be the Jolly Old Man himself.
It should be good for some laughs, too!

A little snow is ....

2010-12-15T15:20:00.000-06:00

When you are little like me, a little snow on the ground
is a lot; a lot of fun, a lot of cold and a lot of fluff.
I loved it.

Billy's First Snow

2010-12-15T15:14:00.000-06:00

Billy has never seen snow.
He likes it, but he doesn't want to stay in it too long.

Snow dog chain

2010-12-15T15:11:00.000-06:00

Here we are together in the snow.
It was a blast.
We went sledding down our hollow on Monday.
Billy was iffy about it, but Camo and I loved it.

We have new blue sweaters for holidays.
In Tennessee, a snow day is a holiday!

It's a snow day

2010-12-13T10:25:00.000-06:00

It's a snow day and the boys are camping out
on the comforter. It looks like they may be doing
this all day.
I'm snuggling in my dog bed, I want to be alone.

New Breed of Reindeer

2010-12-13T10:13:00.000-06:00

There is a new breed of reindeer in my own house.
It's tall but small and striped!

Working the system

2010-12-02T10:25:00.000-06:00

The Christmas season has me scrambling
for presents. This year it was really hard
for me to be good. I have two kid brothers
who are always testing my patience.
My sparkling self leans to the nice, but
sometime I blame the naughty on them.

Will this pumpkin be pie?

2010-11-20T09:30:00.000-06:00

I wait at the door so patiently, thinking that
maybe next week, this pumpkin will be pie.

Billy was fixed

2010-11-20T09:23:00.000-06:00

Billy got fixed this week, but I didn't know he was broken.
You can see how happy he was.

I wish his baby teeth, finally all fall out,
because he uses our ears as teething
toys.

With and without fur

2010-11-14T22:49:00.000-06:00

Billy looks a little like me if I didn't have my gorgeous
coat of fur. We are both blonds from Tennessee, now
brother and sister from a different mother and father.
I'm six years old and he is six months old.
We do look cute together, but I would never tell him that.

Three Dog Pack

2010-11-08T18:41:00.000-06:00

No matter where we go, we now go together.
We are a three dog pack.
Every day we visit the ponds and enjoy the last
few days of a very late Indian summer.
Tomorrow it might be 70! and Mom promises
to take us on a hike,

Kissy Kissy Silly Billy

2010-11-08T18:32:00.000-06:00

Billy is wearing a t shirt that says
"Kissy Kissy"
He sure is one big little kiss up.

My Mom has had this shirt for over
20 years. I wore it, cats have worn it,
any pet that has lived with my mom
and who was small enough to wear it
has worn it.

It still looks good on the kid!

At a Country Fair

2010-11-04T12:25:00.000-05:00

Billy and I got new hats at a
Country Fair. Mine has Daisies
and his is Orange.
We were travelling in style!

The Best part of the day.....

2010-11-02T09:57:00.000-05:00

These two little guys love to ride on the bulldog.
In the evening , my mom rides thru the woods and into
the meadow and they chase her.
It's fun to watch, because I am on mom's lap enjoying
my quality time with her and they have to run.

Count Camo

2010-10-31T11:46:00.000-05:00

Count Camo is a monster dog for Halloween.
He has scary ears, both sets of them.

Billy the Pirate

2010-10-31T11:42:00.000-05:00

Billy is a pirate for Halloween. He has a Jolly
Rogers on his back.
He went to a people party last
night and we had to wait in the car.
He had the treat and we were tricked!

Miss Grumpy

2010-10-28T08:56:00.000-05:00

I'm wearing a shirt that declares that I am Miss October,
but in this photo, I'm Miss Grumpy.

Call the kettle...puppy

2010-10-28T08:37:00.000-05:00

Little Billy is a pumpkin in a kettle.
Hot pumpkin stew tonight!....if I'm lucky!

The boys of the Pumpkin Patch

2010-10-27T16:25:00.000-05:00

Billy and Camo look spicy in Orange.

Make me a pie

2010-10-27T11:56:00.000-05:00

I like pie! Make mine pumpkin please.
Just like my mom made me a pumpkin for Halloween.

Fallen Leaves

2010-10-25T19:39:00.000-05:00

After our photo shoot, we are pooped!

My personal pumpkin patch

2010-10-25T19:37:00.000-05:00

Do you have an idea how hard it is to model, with two
kid brothers? My mom wants pumpkin photos and
those two want to horse around.

Look at my face...see my perplexing problems!

Pumpkin Girl

2010-10-25T19:17:00.000-05:00

We went to a fair and we bought pumpkins for our
home. We bought 6 pumpkins and I got to pick them
out. They all had to be bigger enough for me to sit on.

Kisses for the Mistress

2010-10-14T08:58:00.000-05:00

Billy is whispering wet licks in my ear.
Yuck!, but I do understand his worship of me.

Camo in focus

2010-10-14T08:35:00.000-05:00

With a new puppy in the house, Camo was lost in this
blog. Camo is still the silly dachshund of the house.
He is getting ready for Halloween, trying on new looks.

Baby Teeth

2010-10-13T08:50:00.000-05:00

Billy the Kid is wearing a "Kissy Kissy" t- shirt, while he
shows off his baby teeth. You don't want to get any
closer to his teething than this!

A Beauty among the flowers

2010-10-11T16:30:00.000-05:00

My beauty is enhanced by flowers. The flowers are
enhanced by my presence.

Billy popping up everywhere

2010-10-11T16:25:00.000-05:00

It's been just 2 weeks and Little Billy is popping up
everywhere I look.
He is pretty cute for kid brother #2.

I'm adjusting

2010-09-29T17:08:00.000-05:00

I am adjusting to "Little Billy". He has been here 4 days now.

The best part is that he is really little, about half my size.
I'm 7 1/2 lbs and he is only 3 1/2 lbs. He is maybe 6 months old,
so he may gain another pound.
He gets all my hand me downs that I grew out of, even the pink stuff.

I'm not fat now, just furry.

Introducing " Hill Billy"

2010-09-29T10:27:00.001-05:00

I'm HillBilly, the luckiest little dog on this earth.I was living in a shack, without a kitchen, when my
new daddy found me.
He couldn't leave me there so he took me to my new
home.
I have a home, with a kitchen!
Do you have any idea how good a kitchen smells
to a dog who never had a kitchen?
I had no idea that they were so many smells in
this world.

I have Daisy Mae and Camo to admire, love and play with.
I have my own soft bed in the living room, my own little
crate, my own pile of towels to lie on ( that's all I know and
still really like), my own food dish and a whole lot of
back yard that I still haven't totally explore.

Daisy Mae will tell you more about me as time goes on.
I just wanted to say hello to the world, as now I know it.

News Alert: My life has changed, my pack is now three

2010-09-27T21:57:00.000-05:00

Unbelievable my dad came home with a puppy. He says it's for
me. Ha! I don't believe him but it is smaller than me and will always be.
Photos tomorrow......he is cute and submissive, so I think I can
the Big Sis and learn to share...Yikes! I have to share.Yikes!

Looking cute as ever

2010-09-20T13:14:00.000-05:00

Just checking in and letting the world know,
I'm still cute as ever.

Tucker : Daisy's newest Beau!

2010-09-07T15:51:00.000-05:00

Tucker is a Morky and
he is eager as a beaver to
be my new boyfriend.
I can't blame him, I was
looking just smashing this week-end.

Tucker is a little young for me.
He is almost one, but it's okay to be a cougar when you are in demand.

Maybe next year, if he visits again, I will give him a kiss. Let the boy dream!

My name might be Ollie

2010-09-02T16:42:00.000-05:00

This little kitty has already found a forever home.
One happy Mom, with two young school age kids and
an old sleepy dog at home. A real home and not the woods!
He goes to the vet tomorrow and life is going to be grand!

They may call him "Ollie"
Good name.
Great little cat.

Hill Billy

2010-09-01T15:34:00.000-05:00

It's a little stray kitty that needs a home. We all know
that it is the season when our heart strings are pulled
and little kittens and puppies are left on their own
to find a home.

This cute little orange kitty showed up on Sunday
at a friends house. They have two cats and they are
on on vacation.

My mom is feeding this "Hill Billy Kitty" and I am
worried that it may be in my bed . She already named
it Hill Billy, but she is looking for a home for it.

He is not feral. Billy wants to go into the house, it sleeps in a little
crate left outside for it's use and it comes when it's called
and is very loving. All good qualities for a stray that
really needs a home.

Does any body on the mountain want a little kitten?
Hill Billy really wants a real home.
Leave us a note on this blog or call my mom.

Elephant Nose

2010-08-24T20:53:00.000-05:00

This is one of the oldest stupid pet tricks in the book.
My folks call it Elephant Nose.
They take a stinky old sock and place it on our heads,
to see how long it takes us to take it off.
You can guess who was first.
Heck, Camo may still have his on, I haven't looked at
him lately.
By the way, we both like stinky socks.

Look like I could do Baywatch

2010-08-17T14:09:00.000-05:00

We went on the lake on Sunday.

2010-08-16T08:59:00.000-05:00

We had fun all week-end to celebrate Camo's 4 th
birthday. We went kayaking and canoeing on the big
lake.

I partied with Camo

2010-08-16T08:54:00.000-05:00

I look like the devil dog and Camo looks sweet.
Pictures can be deceiving.

We went camping in our own backyard on Saturday.
We have 30 acres so our backyard is really big.
We set up the camper and parked it next to the ponds.
We had a campfire and wieners for dinner. (in honor of
Camo the wiener boy)
We are at the table in the camper waiting for our dinner.

Camo had a cake but couldn't eat it

2010-08-16T08:49:00.000-05:00

Mom made a a chocolate cake and we couldn't eat it.
Camo snuck a lick of frosting and told me it was very good.
We celebrate his birthday all week-end long.

Time Magazine should have asked me

2010-08-09T13:37:00.000-05:00

The current issue of Time Magazine has a cover story about
"What Animals Think".
I could have saved them a lot of time and trouble in
asking scientist what animals think about.

They only had to visit my blog.
I always say what I am thinking and lucky for me,
my mom types it out.
It's a good issue of Time, but I think I would have made
a good cover girl.

Wiener Swine

2010-08-09T13:31:00.000-05:00

Now Camo will be a party boy this month.
In honor of his "4th" birthday on the 15th and the
need to have a party theme for my folks summer
"Swine Club" party. Camo is the party invite
for "A Gourmet Wiener Roast"

I have high expectation for this party, because
it means that food will be flowing freely.
I love parties, because they mean tipsy people think
I'm cute and they will feed me the party food.

I also hope that Camo wears the pig nose all party long!

Little Hillbilly

2010-08-07T12:30:00.000-05:00

I went to a Hill Billy party last
Saturday and Mom and me were
the only ones that dressed up.
I wore my famous Miss Daisy Mae
hat and denim skirt.
We had a blast, because they had
fried chicken and I got my fill!
Nobody keeps track on how many
people give me treats. That's why
I am such a party girl.

Old Fashioned Gal

2010-07-26T14:55:00.000-05:00

I am at the outdoor cafe and ice cream store looking
my best and just a little old fashioned in my summer
frock and hat.

All American Dog

2010-07-08T14:22:00.000-05:00

I guess the All American dog is a Labrador Retriever.
It's the #1 dog by ownership in the country.
This gal was at the Sewanee Dog show,
just taking it easy. Lab's are good at that, takin
life easy.

Happy Fur of July

2010-07-04T11:11:00.000-05:00

To all my friends and fans, have a Happy
Fur of July!

If you think summer isn't warm enough, I have
to wear clothes too!

Just waiting for the parade

2010-07-04T11:08:00.000-05:00

We had the parade yesterday and tonight is the fireworks.
We won't go to the fireworks...just too much noise.

A Boy with his Toys

2010-06-16T20:23:00.000-05:00

These are Camo's two favorite toys.
We keep them outside down by the ponds.
They both squeak and he gets so happy when somebody
throws them in the pound and he goes gets them.
He can do it all day!

Growing where planted

2010-06-11T10:58:00.000-05:00

Most of the time, I spend the day in the garden with Mom.

Long Fish Story

2010-05-25T13:09:00.000-05:00

Who is longer? That silly brother of mine or the fish?

Camo likes to go fishing....he really does.
He licks the fish our Dad catches.
Don't say I didn't warn you, if he wants
to give you a kiss. I know where his tongue has been.

Gnome Buddy

2010-05-18T13:24:00.000-05:00

Sometimes it seems like gnome buddy is my watching
me.....
I don't think I am paranoid just insightful.

Canine de Mayo

2010-05-05T10:23:00.000-05:00

Today is a Mexican celebration and it is a great day
to Party.
Camo and I are ready to do the Mexican hat dance!

Read the book!

2010-04-21T11:35:00.000-05:00

Camo needs a book just to describe his antics.
Dachshunds for Dummies!

Dressed up for a walk

2010-04-14T10:53:00.000-05:00

Camo and I went for a walk on campus, all dressed up.
It's so pretty here that we try to add to the beauty.

Cute puppy available

2010-04-14T10:52:00.000-05:00

My mom knows of three cute puppies that are being fostered.
At the end of the month, they will be going to a shelter in
Wisconsin or Michigan. This one is the cutest and at 8 weeks
she is bigger than me.

My mom visits them for her puppy fix. I make sure none
of them get in the car to go home with us.
I am not ready to be a big sister to a big dog!

Spring time is my time to shine

2010-04-03T10:21:00.000-05:00

We went to a park that was filled with daffodils and grass
for me to run on.
Perfect spring day!

Happy Easter to every bunny!

2010-04-02T10:19:00.001-05:00

It's that time of year again, when I put on the ears.
I hope every bunny has the best Easter ever.
The means eat all the jelly beans you find on the floor
and beg for more ham.

Spring Cleaning

2010-03-26T15:01:00.000-05:00

Just because it's Spring, I get a bath.
I didn't even get a chance to get really dirty.
I just rolled in some leaf mulch and deer poop.
I didn't smell that bad....eau de deer poop should be
a doggie perfume.

Long and Lazy

2010-03-11T10:39:00.000-06:00

Long and lazy describe my brother.
He thinks he is a parakeet, perched on the chair.
I actually taught him that trick.
You get a good view out the window
and you don't have to lift your head.

In a thicket

I know nobody believes that I hunt....but I do.
I am looking for little critters, much littler than I.

Head in the snow

Hunting is hard when there is snow on the ground.
A girl gotta do what a girl gotta do!

The last picture of winter

2010-02-22T08:47:00.000-06:00

The snow melted and this will probably be the last picture
of me in the great snow of 2010.
I look cute in my hoodie, but the paws get a little cold
stuck in the snow.

Inspired by the Winter Olympics

I came in first place...gold medal winner if they gave out gold
medals for doggie racing in the snow.
I was faster than Camo and look at him go with his ears
blowing in the wind.
We had snow for 4 days and we had lots of fun.
Today the sun shines and the snow is melting.

And how was your Valentine's Day?

Camo is too pretty for his own good!

A scamp in the woods

Camo loves the snow and he loves to run wild in the woods.

If Camo wore boots

2010-02-04T12:01:00.000-06:00

If camo wore boots, they would be just like these.
Same color with fur!

My walk in the woods

2010-02-03T11:26:00.000-06:00

This is how I stay warm during a long winter walk.
I ride in my daddy's coat!
