Happy Halloweeenie

Some pics from the Halloween dachshund Meetup for your enjoyment. Bailey was dogzilla, Kahlua went as a skunk, and our weekend house guest Toby wore a tuxedo. Although the picture is a little dark, 2 doggy brothers took the cake dressed up as the titanic and an iceberg.

New construction or gotta ways to go construction?

We toured Long Island City with Lynn yesterday, the site of our newly purchased apartment and even got to go inside our unit - although as you can see, there was not much to check out except maybe the view. The layout of the unit was there but that was about it - no floors, dry wall or ceiling, there were lots of electrical wires and pipes jutting out, drawn outlines where our countertops are supposed to be, our bathtub hanging out solo in the smaller bathroom - we did have windows!

Maybe a January closing date is a little optimistic, fine by us.

Dachtoberfest

Every year all the weenie dogs in NYC gather under the arch in Washington Square Park for a little fall hurray. Many were in their Halloween costumes - we saw bees, a fire truck, a fish, a witch and of course many hot dogs. The owners get a kick of seeing so many dachshunds together in one place and they always attract a crowd of onlookers that ooooh and awwww at our short legged companions.

Bailey and Kahlua participated sans costume (we're saving those for the real Halloweenie) and Lynn came down from Boston to join us for the weekend. It is beautiful in NY as fall has finally arrived after a week of 80 degree weather. It was a cool crisp sunny day.
