For the past couple of weeks, Ollie has been whining, crying, barking and jumping at the bookcase in the office. There wasn’t a toy in sight, and I even picked him up one day and show him that there wasn’t a rope hidden behind any books. It never occurred to me that he would think the magic 8 ball was a toy, but I set it down on the ground last night, and off he went. He chased that thing around for a good half hour and this is the best action shot we could get…

Anybody else have a dog that likes to hang out in the bathroom or anyplace else as equally random?

Every time Ollie goes missing, I find him in the dark bathroom, snuggled up on the fuzzy rug underneath the toilet.

I don’t know what the allure is. Wouldn’t be my first choice for some rest and relaxation.

What better way to document the life of a dachshund, than with pictures from his POV? That’s why I’m dying to win the Pet’s Eye View Camera from Lisa Reviews!

You strap the little camera to his collar, and it snaps away (up to 40 photos) while your pet goes about their daily routine of napping, eating, and more napping.

The camera is PC and Mac compatible and Lisa is giving away FIVE of them, so stop by her blog and enter to win by commenting, Tweeting, Stumbling, and/or blogging!

I love this video of treat time at a doggy daycare in Canada, called Back in the Pack. Make sure to check out their Flickr, because they have some of the cutest and funniest dog photos, and there may be a few weiner dogs thrown in for good measure.

This is the only explaination for my Ollie’s behavior when I got home from work today.
